CHENNAI: The Hindu
Spiritual and Service Fair 2012, being held at the Dwaraka Doss
Goverdhan Doss Vaishnav College Ground in Arumbakkam, is drawing huge
crowds. The fair, which was inaugurated on Wednesday, received a steady
stream of visitors on Thursday. According to the organisers of this
sought-after annual spiritual fair of the metro, a total of 160 stalls
have been put up by various spiritual and service organisations based in
the south, as well as from north India.
Large
concentration of visitors were seen at the stalls put up by the
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), Prajapita Brahmakumaris Ishwariya
Vishwa Vidhyalaya, Sri Sathya Sai Organizations, Melmaruvathur
Adiparasakthi Peedam, Sri Narayani Peetam, Vellore, Seva Bharathi and
Ayya Vaikundar Narpani Sangam, Kanyakumari.
Jyotirlingas
darshan, organised by Brahmakumaris, is one of the added attractions
for visitors. Pictorial presentation of TTD’s growth through a topic
‘Then and now’ drew good response from youth, as they were able to see
some rare photographs of the temple and its development over the years.
Stalls
of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Departments of Tamil
Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and the Archeological Survey of India recorded a
steady stream of visitors on Thursday evening.
Many
spiritual organisations distributed pamphlets about the services
undertaken by them, while several others showcased their works using DVD
presentations. Speaking to Express after visiting the fair, Murlidhar
Rao, BJP National Secretary, said, “It’s a great effort by the
organisers and by seeing the crowd, it is achieving its goal —
dissemination of spiritual and as well as service activities of Hindu
organisations.”
