When I was trying to get a break in films in Chennai, I used to visit all Hanuman temples to seek the Almighty’s blessings.
One night lord Hanuman appeared in my dream and called me ‘Chiranjeevi’. I thought somone was calling me from outside my room, but i woke up to realise that he called me so in my dream.
My original name is Shiva Shankara Vara Prasad. I changed to Chiranjeevi, which is another name of Lord Hanuman, for my entry into the Telugu film industry.
My belief is that God observes all our deeds and judges us after we die.
My day starts with a prayer to Lord Hanuman. In fact, my mother, Anjani Devi, whose name is taken from the name of Lord Hanuman’s mother, nurtured fear of God in me. Every year I visit Tirumala with my family members to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. For me God is present in every person and in every atom of the universe. I admire nature and believe that divinity is everywhere.
Some people do not believe in God, even though we are witnesses of the Almighty’s holy manifestations on earth. I do not find fault with them. But if God doesn’t exist, then who created this astonishing world?
All religions speak of universal love and compassion. However, some people try to interpret religion for their own sake, which causes problems.”
