The 53rd Chairman of TTD Trust Board Sri Bhumana Karunakara Reddy during his welcome address before the commencement of the maiden board meeting at Annamaiah Bhavan in Tirumala urged the members to dedicate themselves to the service of devotees by making the best use of the divine opportunity enhancing the reputation of the institution among the public and up keeping the trust of the Honourable CM of AP Sri YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
“After 17 years I got another opportunity to serve the Universal Lord Sri Venkateswara by rendering services to His multitude of devotees across the globe. Usually the devotees crave to get a glimpse of the Lord at least once in their lifetime. Srivaru has given us this divine opportunity to serve Him by offering sincere services to His devotees which we should make use to the extent possible by taking up Hindu Sanatana Dharma activities in a widespread manner”, he maintained.
Later, a one-hour documentary on TTD was displayed about TTD and its wide range of religious-socio-educationl-welfare-medical and development activities for the information of the board members.
Besides all the new board members who have sworn in, TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy, Endowments Special Chief Secretary Sri Karikala Valavan, Endowments Commissioner Sri Satyanarayana, other top brass officials of TTD were also present.
While replying to a query posed by a reporter during the press conference, the TTD Chairman Sri Bhumana Karunakar Reddy on Tuesday condemned the criticism on Sanatana Hindu Dharma by Tamilnadu Minister Sri Udayanidhi Stalin.
He said Sanatana Dharma is not a religion but a lifestyle and is not related to any one particular caste or sect. These remarks would hurt the sentiments of people and disturb the peace in the society. He also cautioned that comments from people holding such high positions on Sanatana dharma are unwarranted and inappropriate.
