After the report of animal fat being used in Tirupati Balaji Temple’s prasad, a political uproar has erupted in Andhra Pradesh. In this matter, Deputy CM and actor Pawan Kalyan said that the behavior of previous rulers who insulted the sanctity, education, and religious duties of Tirumala has hurt all those who follow Hinduism. Pawan Kalyan has decided to start an 11-day atonement fast. Before starting the fast, Pawan Kalyan also wrote a message.

‘Hey, Lord Balaji! Forgive the Lord’

Pawan Kalyan wrote on social media platform X, ‘Hey, Lord Balaji! Forgive the Lord. Tirumala Laddu Prasad is considered extremely sacred. As soon as I came to know that the prasad laddu contained animal fat, my mind was disturbed. The previous rulers’ uncontrolled behavior has led to its desecration. It has been polluted with animal fat residues. Only those with cruel minds can commit such a sin. Not identifying this sin initially is a blot on the Hindu community. I am feeling guilty myself. I am fighting for the welfare of the people. I will take diksha (atonement) on Sunday, September 22, 2024, at the Sri Dashavatara Venkateshwara Swami Temple in Nambur, Guntur district. After 11 days of atonement, I will visit Tirumala Sri Venkateshwara Swami Temple.’
