Vijayawada. There is a lot of political rhetoric on the issue of supplying ghee mixed with animal fat in Tirupati Venkateswara Swamy temple. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM and actor Pawan Kalyan has decided that he will do penance for 11 days for tampering with the Prasad.
This morning, Pawan Kalyan swept the Durga Malleswara Swamy temple in Vijayawada. Let us tell you that Pawan Kalyan will do penance till October 1. After this, he will go to Lord Venkatesh temple (Tirupati temple) and ask for forgiveness from the Lord. He (Pawan Kalyan) has said that he regrets that he could not prevent such an incident.
Pawan Kalyan said that the Prasad was contaminated with the remains of animal fat. Such sins are committed by people with cruel thinking. Not being able to recognize this sin in the beginning is like a stigma on the Hindu community. I am saddened that such a problem did not come to my attention in the beginning. Every follower of Sanatan Dharma should do penance for this grave injustice done to Lord Balaji, the god of Kalyug. Under this, I have decided to take initiation for atonement.
Let us tell you that a few days ago, CM Chandrababu Naidu had alleged that during the previous Jagan Mohan Reddy government, poor quality ghee was used in Tirupati temple. Many contaminated materials including animal fat were used in laddus.
