After the darshan, Bapiraju told the media that ‘Lord Anjaneya is a role model to all devotees as he pioneered “Sharanagati Prapatti” being an ardent devotee of Lord Rama. He is an inspiration to the devotee fraternity for selfless devotion and sacrifice. We all should follow his divine path to attain salvation’.
