A salveraj reports;: CHENNAI: It can't get nobler than this. Thirty-five
visually challenged
people from Bengaluru had a 'darshan' of
Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala
on Saturday, a volunteer helping each of them climb the hills by
foot...The trip was organised by Chennai resident Satish Palani, a
26-year-old who has
been working as a scribe for visually challenged students...The team
members arrived at Tirupati by train from Bengaluru on Friday evening
and took a small
nap before beginning the climb to Tirumala. "Three of them struggled
to walk the steps, so we provided them vehicle assistance. We reached
the temple early
on Saturday.," said Satish. He conveyed special thanks, on behalf of
the team members, to officials of
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams
(TTD), which manages the popular temple in Chittoor district of
Andhra Pradesh, for helping make the trip successful. During the climb
as well as in the
sanctum sanctorum, each volunteer explained in detail the things
around them to help them get a feel, Satish said.

leisure. Tears rolled down the cheeks of many of them who described
the experience as 'divya darshan', he said...Explaining how the trip
came about, Satish
said: "During one of my visits to an old age home in Whitefield,
Bengaluru to repair chairs and tables, apart from assisting them, a
couple of my visually
challenged friends conveyed their grievance. They said they wished to
visit Tirupati for 'divya darshan'. I thought of it and decided to
make plans to
take them to the temple town." ..But, when he conveyed the idea, they
appeared to be sceptical, he said. "Then I revealed my plan of every
member of the team being assisted by a volunteer
throughout the trip. This appealed to them and they agreed. When I
approached my friends, they too readily accepted. A few of them,
however, continued
to doubt if the tour would happen," said Satish, who had worked as a
counsellor at a firm in Bengaluru. "Now, we have achieved it," he
said...The team,
which includes 18 women, is set to visit Talakona waterfalls in
Sri Venkateshwara National Park
near Chittoor before returning to Bengaluru by train on Sunday
evening, Satish said. One of the team members, 24-year-old Srinath,
works for software
firm Cisco in Bengaluru, he said..
