Vice President Offers Prayers In Tirumala Temple

The Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankar along with his spouse Sudhesh Dhankar, on his maiden visit to the Tirumala temple in his current position, today offered prayers to Sri Venkateswara Swamy.

Speaking about his experience, he said, "This visit is closest to spirituality, divinity and religiousity. I experienced the synchonisation of heart, mind and soul. I feel blessed, and sought bliss for humanity. I am leaving this place fully surcharged, inspired and motivated to be in the service of Bharat, the oldest civilization on the planet and home to one-sixth of humanity."

"This place exemplifies virtuosity, sublime administration and seamless functioning, and can be a role model for religious centres. I take for me and for my wife, a once-in-a-lifetime moment to be cherished," he added.
