Prominent spiritual speaker Brahmashri Chaganti Koteshwara Rao emphasized that everyone born on this sacred earth should practice dharma, and only those who follow it are worthy of divine blessings.

The two-day spiritual discourse program, organized at Dharmapuri Kshetram with the support of State SC Welfare Minister Adluri Lakshman Kumar, was inaugurated on Saturday by Chaganti Koteshwara Rao.

Addressing devotees, he highlighted the sanctity of the Godavari river and the holy Dharmapuri Kshetram on its banks.

He noted that among the 8.4 million life forms in the world, human birth is the most precious, endowed with the unique ability to reflect and discern. Those who uphold dharma are spared by Yama Dharmaraju, he added. Chaganti elaborated that dharma is clearly explained in the Vedas, and those who follow it are graced by God. Feeding the hungry, he said, is equivalent to serving divinity.

He stressed that every person eventually leaves this world, and the cycles of creation, preservation, and dissolution operate solely through divine power. He urged everyone to remain grateful to God, never blaming the divine for what they lack, and to cherish the human body as a divine gift.

Chaganti also described the Narasimha Swamy temple in Dharmapuri as highly powerful and encouraged devotees to consider it a privilege to have darshan. He praised the Narasimha Shatakam as a timeless spiritual gem and explained that regular spiritual reflection can free one from suffering.

Prior to the discourse, he visited Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple and participated in rituals. The event saw the participation of SC Welfare Minister Adluri Lakshman Kumar, District Collector Satya Prasad and his spouse, local temple EO Srinivas, temple chairman Jakku Ravinder, officials from various departments, political leaders, and thousands of devotees.
