Singapore President worships Lord Venkateswara

Tirupati, Dec.19, 2006 (Tirupatitimes.com)

The President of Singapore, Mr.S R Nathan accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Urmila Nandey offered prayers at the famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala near here  tonight.

On his arrival the octogenarian, Mr. Sellapan Ramanathan was accorded a warm reception by the temple management called Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). After prayers, the president was invoked Lord's blessings by the priests while the TTD Chairman Mr. B. Karunakara Reddy offered him a sacred silk cloth and prasadams.

Temple sources said that this was his second visit to the India's richest hill shrine as earler Mr.Nathan, had visited the shrine on December 11, 2004.

Mr. Nathan would stay on the hills tonight and before leaving for Chennai on Wednesday morning, he would be offering his worship again by participating in the daily pre-dawn rituals conducted to the presiding deity at the shrine.

Earlier when he arrived at the highly guarded Sri Padmavathi Guest Housed on the hills, in an informal chat with the Press, Mr. Nathan said that Singapore was looking forward to improve better economic relations with India and neighboring countries. It was his private visit to the sacred hills as he has come here to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara and not to make any political statements, he added.
