Free VIP Darshan: In a voluntary endeavor to disseminate Sanatana Dharma among children and youth, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has released a devotional challenge with prizes for VIP darshan at Tirumala Venkateswara Temple. Children and youth below 25 writing a verse of “Govinda Namam” one crore (10 million) times will be granted VIP darshan for themselves and their family members. Those who achieve 10,01,116 repetitions will be given one-time free darshan.
Writing the names of the gods, Nama Japa, goes back a long time in Hindu cultures. Based on the pattern of the Rama Koti where the name of Lord Rama is written a crore by the devotees, Govinda Koti project instills in youths the culture of religious devotion and discipline.
Fosters Spiritual Development: Recitation of Lord Venkateswara’s name fosters mental concentration, devotion, and tranquility of mind.
