Annapoorna Trust Chairman’s visit to Bhadrachalam, 27th Feb 2024
On 27th February 2024, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, Chairman and Founder of Annapoorna Trust, visited the historic Sri Sita Ramachandraswamy temple in Bhadrachalam, Telangana. This Hindu temple is dedicated to Lord Rama, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, and it is believed that Lord Rama with His consort Sita and brother Lakshmana spent time at Parnasala, a village near Bhadrachalam temple during their exile.
Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai was warmly welcomed by the temple priests and was guided on a tour of the temple, where He offered prayers at shrines of various deities. Then, he attended a formal spiritual event organized at the temple’s adjacent convention hall. Also present at the event were Smt. Mallu Nandini, wife of Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Sri Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, and Sri Koti Rama Swaroop, the temple’s chief priest.
Smt. Nandini, the chief guest at the spiritual event, said the government has always supported organizations that do public service voluntarily. She said the Chief Minister Sri Revanth Reddy and the deputy Chief minister Sri Bhatti Vikramarka have been apprised about the morning nutrition – SaiSure Millet (Ragi) multi-nutrient health mix program that had statewide launch on July 2022 and is going very efficiently. This program is implemented with the collaboration of the Telangana government with Annapoorna Trust and is reaching out to 23 lakh 20 thousand children in the state.
In His address, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai explained how Sri Sathya Sai Baba taught that serving man is serving God Himself. He assured that the Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission (SMSGHM) will provide all the support needed in Bhadrachalam and the surrounding villages in education, nutrition and healthcare. He announced a new educational campus in Bhadrachalam on the banks of the Godavari for the welfare of the tribal children. He called for cooperation between the government, society, and organizations like ours to efficiently deliver services to the rural and needy.
This event was covered in the local newspaper. Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai says, ‘The need of the hour is selflessness – to think about others before we enjoy anything.’ If we all strive to become selfless, the dream of a nation with healthy children can be achieved soon. Annapoorna Trust will stop not until no child that goes to school is hungry, ever!
