New Delhi, March 1 (NationPress) The renowned Southern actor Chiranjeevi Konidela recently had the opportunity to visit the BAPS temple in Abu Dhabi, and he was left in awe by the magnificent beauty and grandeur of the first Hindu Temple in the Gulf region.
While sharing his initial impressions of the temple, the actor expressed feelings of pure joy and excitement, yet found it challenging to articulate his emotions.
"Experiencing this masterpiece, the energy I absorbed is indescribable. I cannot put it into words; it’s my heart that speaks, not me. Every nook and cranny of this place exhibits its uniqueness," stated the Padma Vibhushan recipient.
Continuing to extol the temple's virtues, the veteran Telugu actor remarked that this was an unparalleled feeling he had encountered within the Mandir.
"Every single part of this temple is extraordinary. Here, I perceive the universe—not merely as a religion or spirituality—but as something beyond comprehension," he added.
He also emphasized the remarkable respect shown to the Islamic culture within the temple grounds and noted, "The vision of Swami Ji (Pramukh Swamiji) has materialized today in this magnificent form. Achieving this is no small feat."
The actor praised the resolve of Pramukh Swamiji Maharaj for realizing the dream of building a Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi, especially when 99 individuals deemed it an "impossible" endeavor.
"That reflects the power of his vision. 99 percent of people said—'No, constructing a temple here is not feasible.' Yet, the sole individual who had faith was Swamiji (Pramukh Swamiji Maharaj). He believed, and today, we witness this reality," he highlighted.
"I believe this is the essence of Swami Ji (Pramukh Swami Maharaj), whose unwavering belief was so profound that everything aligned perfectly. I feel privileged to have visited here with my family," he stated.
He expressed astonishment upon learning that over 5,000 individuals collaborated to create this wonder in merely two years and pledged to return to the temple on his next visit to Abu Dhabi.
The esteemed actor and philanthropist also expressed gratitude to the UAE government for embracing the Hindu faith and facilitating the establishment of the first Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi.
