Chilkur priest gifts bull to Muslim farmer

A few years back, bulls were gifted to Anjaiah a farmer hailing from Pedda Mangalaram village, Moinabad, Ranga Reddy district after he lost two buffaloes due to electrocution.

When the whole country is getting polarised on religious lines, here is a temple priest who helped a Muslim family in distress.

Continuing its tradition of helping farmers in distress, the Chilkur Balaji temple has gifted a Bull to a farmer Mohd Ghouse belonging to Chilkur village, who had lost his farming bull in electrocution. Humanity does not see religion, caste or creed. To help fellow human-beings is the service to Almighty is the belief of Chilkur Balaji temple priest and people associated with him.

A few years back, bulls were gifted to Anjaiah a farmer hailing from Pedda Mangalaram village, Moinabad,

Ranga Reddy district after he lost two buffaloes due to electrocution. In the last couple of years, moved by the plight of farmers whose cattle died of electrocution, lightning or by any other accident, chief priest of Chilkur Temple C S Rangarajan, with the help of Goseva enthusiast Pavan Kumar, helped several farmers across the State.

Earlier, the Chilkur Balaji temple had given a cow to a farmer from Siddipet, who lost his cattle in electrocution. A few farmers from the neighbouring villages also received bulls. The chief priest urged public to participate similarly so that such farmers, who are in distress can be helped. Farmers consider a cow, bull or buffalo as family members and the death of cattle pushes them into financial problems, Rangarajan said. The senior priest from the temple urged people to participate in ‘Gift a Cattle’ campaign to support farmers.
