The miraculous story behind this initiate dates back to the year 1996, when Mr. Venu Chukkala, in early hours of a Saturday morning felt the strong awning presence of Lord Sri Venkateshwara in his dream and set one for his first padayatra (Journey on foot) to Tirumala.
His experiences during his walking expedition to Tirumala made him come back 9 consecutive times in years to come, every time with a magnetic conviction to comeback. Inspired by our beloved president Late Mr. Shankar Dayal Sarma, who climbed the seven hills 108 times to have a Darshan, he started his “ Ahtothara shatha (108) ” yatra since then..

The miraculous story behind this initiate dates back to the year 1996, when Mr. Venu Chukkala, in early hours of a Saturday morning felt the strong awning presence of Lord Sri Venkateshwara in his dream and set one for his first padayatra (Journey on foot) to Tirumala. His experiences during his walking expedition to Tirumala made him come back 9 consecutive times in years to come, every time with a magnetic conviction to comeback. Inspired by our beloved president Late Mr. Shankar Dayal Sarma, who climbed the seven hills 108 times to have a Darshan, he started his “ Ahtothara shatha (108) ” yatra since then.
His unflinching faith in coming back every month acquainted him with all the Pradhana Archaka Swamies like Shri Kesari Swamy, Shri Narsimha Deekshithulu, Shri Ramana Deekshithulu whose blessing coupled with His grace enabled him to successfully complete 108 times and is now continuing it to make it 1008.
With divine blessings of Dr. K.V. Ramana Chari, Ex. EO TTD and present Telangana State Honorable Advisory Board Chairman and Shri Daivagna Sharma, the Sarswathi Upasaka, Ashtothara Shatha Chukkala’s Charitable Trust thus started.
On his 39th Birthday Sep 13th 2014, Mr. Venu Kumar Chukkala with 39 devotees of Lord Venkateshwara, bearing all the expenses of devotees, completed the darshan of both Tirumala and Tirupathi.

Again on October 6th, Second set of 33 financially backward devotees had visited Tirupathi experiencing the divine grace of the Lord throughout the journey (again all expenses completely borne by the Trust).
