Vijayawada: The AP government should perform a ceremony along the lines of TS CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s Ayutha Chandi Yagam for divine blessings for the construction of Amravati. Pundits say that as per the Puranas, Lord Indra, whose capital was Amaravati, had also performed these yagams before building the city.
Several prominent astrologers and priests of various temples have recommended special yagams for the AP government for completion of the capital city and a smooth administration thereafter.
According to sources, several ministers and prominent leaders have their personal astrologers who perform homams for them often. These astrologers have suggested that the government conduct the rituals to overcome hurdles at a time when the AP government is facing several problems frequently and also for funds for the capital’s construction.
Kanchipeetam Asthana Siddhanthi and AP government’s agama adviser L. Subramanya Siddhanti, said that Lord Indra, who ruled Amaravati, had also constructed his capital after conducting the Rajyasyamala Sahitha Kubera Samputita Paasupatha Yagam. As per Padma and Devibhagata Puranas, the demon Mookasurudu had destroyed Amaravati.
Later Lord Indra had conducted the Rajyasyamala Yagam and the goddess had helped Indra to rebuild the capital in grand manner.
He said that the government could get support from the opposition parties too if it conducted the yagam now. Moreover, the government would not face any financial crisis.
MLA and actor Nandamuri Balakrishna’s personal astrologer Karuparthi Nagamalleswara Rao also said that AP needed suitable yagams and homams to overcome the present situation. He said that the government should conduct Mahasudarsanam and Rani Chandika Yagams for successfully completing the capital city without facing any financial hurdles. He added that the entire state would also benefit from his proposed yagam.
Durga temple Vedic Committee member Shankar Sandilya meanwhile said that the government should conduct the Athirudra yagam and Sathasahasra Chandi Yagam. He said that the state would not suffer from droughts and the capital city works would also be completed speedily.
