Pleased with online ‘Temple Sevas’.



You are all aware that the entry of devotees to temples within Telangana State and for that matter all over the country has been prohibited, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For some of us who have the tradition of visiting temples a few times in a month, at least the one closest to our house is no longer possible. And such a situation may continue even if the prohibitory orders are relaxed or lifted, for the fear of contracting the disease.
When the need for something becomes imperative, we are forced to find ways of getting or achieving it. And this issue of offering prayers at temples too got sorted out strangely.  Like many other modern commercial practices, a digital solution is being offered… of a variety of online Pujas/Sevas. This is through a widely publicised notification by the Commissioner of Endowments, Telangana State, stating “All devotees are requested to utilise the facility of online Puja/Seva and gain the divine blessings of the holy deity,”
Though this appears very strange, under the present circumstances this seems to be the only way to offer our prayers at temples, though ‘In absentia’.  
I am happy with this new settlement and I have participated in the ‘Anthralaya Archana Seva’ and ‘Swami Vari Nitya Kalyanam Seva’ at the temple close to my heart, the popular Sri Seetha Ramachandra Swamy Vari Devasthanam, Bhadrachalam, on 6th June 2020.  
I booked for these two Sevas and a few packets of ‘Swami Vari Talambralu’, through ‘T App Folio’.
If interested you may book for such Sevas at few other temples too in Telangana State and seek the blessings of the Gods.
