psycopk Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Annamayya proved bigger than YSR, Chiranjeevi and Chandrababu Naidu, said a few who have witnessed the gala response for ‘Annamayya Laksha Gala Sankeerthana’ that was held in Secunderabad Parade Grounds. A visitor at the event said, “People may come to political meetings in lorries and trucks by taking a few bucks. But we all have come here by paying Rs 100 towards the hall ticket to participate in this event. We have also received a CD of Annamayya song, a booklet of songs and guidelines for preparation at that price which is our life time treasure. Above all we have all come here for ‘atma santrupthi’ and we bagged that. The happiness stays for my life time”. Another visitor said, “The gathering is bigger than that of many political meetings. No one was carried in Lorries to this place. This is the genuine gathering towards the respect for Annamayya and Lord Venkateshwara. Hence I can say Annamayya’s image and mass following is bigger than that of Chiranjeevi, YSR and Chandrababu”. Well, such a big ‘mass’ive response could be possible as Annamayya was already popular with the portrayal of that role by Nagarjuna 12 years ago, said another rational thinker. Whatever be the opinions, the fact is that ‘Annamayya Laksha Gala Sankeerthana’ event stands as role model for many.
