It is a well-known episode from the Mahabharata where Dhritarashtra, the king of the Kuru dynasty, requests Lord Krishna to bless him with vision for just two seconds—simply to behold the Lord and experience His divine grace.
We, as humans, are no different in our yearning for such a divine connection. Inspired by this spirit, Dr. Venu Kumar Chukkala has taken a noble step through Sri Ashtothara Shatha (108) Chukkala’s Charitable Trust to fulfill this longing for the visually challenged.
Our Trust organizes and fully sponsors special Tirumala Yatra exclusively for visually challenged devotees, ensuring they receive Sri Venkateswara Swamy’s Darshan with the utmost care, dignity, and devotion.
In the eyes of faith, Lord Sri Venkateswara is the eternal father, and Goddess Padmavathi Amma, the eternal mother. For those without earthly parents, this truth shines even brighter.
With this spirit, Sri Ashtothara Shatha (108) Chukkala’s Charitable Trust, under the compassionate leadership of Mr. Venu Kumar Chukkala, is organizing a fully sponsored Tirumala Yatra for orphans. We identify and include orphan devotees in our trip with a deep desire to make them have darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy. This initiative is rapidly progressing
The only eligibility?
A heart filled with devotion and a strong yearning to see the Lord. Everything else—travel, stay, and arrangements—is lovingly taken care of by the Trust.
Lord Venkateswara Swamy and Divine Mother Padmavathi Amma never leave the side of their children—especially those who need them the most. For many physically challenged devotees, the journey to Tirumala and experiencing darshan can feel like an impossible dream.
Understanding the emotional and logistical challenges families face, Sri Ashtothara Shatha (108) Chukkala’s Charitable Trust, under the devoted leadership of Mr. Venu Kumar Chukkala, has taken up this cause with heartfelt commitment.
The Trust fully sponsors and organizes a special Tirumala Yatra exclusively for differently abled devotees, providing safe and comfortable travel, personal assistance, and all necessary arrangements entirely free of cost. With the support of our trained and compassionate volunteers, devotees are even carried into the temple with care and dignity to ensure they receive the Lord’s darshan.
Every devotee deserves a moment before the Lord—without barriers, without worry. Our mission is to make that divine experience possible.
