Muktitham – 1992 (Accommodation for those who perform ancestral rites without expectation of reward) With changing times, joint family households are giving way to growing apartment complexes, nuclear families, and modern lifestyles.

It began through his relentless, tireless efforts that went beyond his strength. Through this forum he brought many eminent personalities to the people — including Brahmashri Chaganti Koteshwara Rao and Brahmashri Samavedam Shanmukh Sharma — conducting an excellent program that taught highly valuable spiritual topics.

Annaprasaad Distribution - 2022 In our India, renowned as the land of Annapurna, Konaseema—draped in lush green paddy fields and blessed with natural beauty—has seen many elders and benefactors, at considerable expense and effort, serve the hungry in various ways.

This is the purpose of this Sanatanam publication.
