Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) conducted ‘Maha Saraswati Yagam' at the sprawling ground behind its administrative building here to propitiate Sri Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning, ahead of the ensuing examination season.
HDPP
The religious ritual was conducted under the aegis of its the Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishat (HDPP) in the auspicious hours of Phalguna Shukla Vidiya between 8.30 a.m. and 11.30 a.m., while a similar one will be held in the same hours on March 11 at Lalitha Kala Thoranam, Hyderabad.
By making the students recite the ‘Saraswati Mantra', the event sought to build determination and mental courage among students by initiating the ‘ Sankalpam' to pass the exams.
Telugu verses
The priests announced that the Yagam would help improve concentration, stabilise the thought process, infuse rationality in thinking and achieve mental maturity.
The event was in tune with the typical Telugu verse ‘Thallee ninnu dalanchi pusthakamu chethan boonithin…', while the regular Yagam-specific Sanskrit verses were also used.
Explaining its significance, TTD Executive Officer I.Y.R. Krishna Rao said it was aimed at inspiring, motivating and ushering in self-confidence among students in their own capabilities to give their best in the forthcoming examinations.
