Addressing the gathering, Jaganmohan Reddy appreciated the efforts of Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamy in setting up the towering Statue of Sri Ramanuja, who stood for certain principles. The saint fought against inequality 1,000 years ago with a strong belief, and his teachings were still relevant to society, he said.

He also congratulated My Home Group of companies Chairman Jupally Rameshwar Rao for supporting the project and organizing the millennium celebrations.

The AP Chief Minister participated in the Lakshmi Narayana Sahasra Maha Yagna daily Purnahuti event and other programmes.

Earlier in the day, Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami performed consecration of 33 of the 108 Divya Desams at the Statue of Equality premises along with Ruthwiks amidst chanting of Veda mantras.

Divya Desams, which inspired Sri Ramanuja to be an iconic personality, can also inspire people to rise to the level of the Acharya in practicing the value of Equality. Hence, the 108 Divya Desams are being consecrated for the benefit of people across the world, a press release from the organisers said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will participate in the celebrations on Tuesday.
