HH Chinna Jeeyar visits jail

 

Spiritual talk: Chinna Jeeyar Swami at the Cherlapally Central Jail on

Tuesday.

 

HYDERABAD: It was an altogether a different day for inmates of the Cherlapally

Central Jail on Tuesday. The Tridandi Chinna Sreemannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar

Swami visited the jail to bless the 200-odd inmates who took up Sri Venkateswara

Sharanagati Deeksha (penance).

 

The swami, delivering a discourse, said spirituality would bring in peace for

mankind. He urged the prison inmates to follow the principles of Bhagavad Gita.

 

Later, noted musician Sriman Ramacharya rendered and distributed prasadams. To

mark the occasion, 1,000 lamps were lit on the jail premises by the inmates and

members of Vikasatarangani.
