Coming to Prasanthi is Meditation | Vijay Deverakonda & Rashmika Mandanna | Dasara Celebrations 2026

Learning to Give, the Puttaparthi Way! Amidst the sacred fervour of the Navaratri and Dasara celebrations at Prasanthi Nilayam, popular star couple Mr Vijay Deverakonda (‪@TheDeverakonda‬) and Ms Rashmika Mandanna (‪@RashmikaMandanna‬) visited the holy abode of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba this Thursday to seek His Divine Blessings. Visiting Prasanthi for the first time since their wedding, the couple attended the sacred proceedings of the Veda Purusha Saptaha Jnana Yajna, immersing themselves in the divine vibrations of Vedic chants and rituals. They also offered their heartfelt obeisances at Bhagawan’s Divya Sannidhi and spent precious moments in the serene sanctity of the Bhajan Hall. For Mr Vijay Deverakonda, an alumnus of the Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School, the visit brought back cherished memories of his school days in the Divine presence, including participating in the Yajna and chanting sacred Vedic mantras alongside the priests. For Ms Rashmika Mandanna, it was her maiden visit to Puttaparthi, fulfilling a long-cherished wish to visit Bhagawan’s holy abode. She was deeply touched by the peaceful atmosphere of the Ashram, the resonant Vedic chants and the sacred Arati. Following their Darshan, the couple shared their thoughts and reflections on their visit with Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre.
