The people of Gudiganpally, along with the followers of Gopal Thatha, are wishing to place a statue in our village to honor his memory and the values he lived for.
They have come to us,seeking our thoughts and blessings for this decision,and also they are hoping for our support in contributing to the fund.
This gesture means a lot to everyone, as it is not just a statue, but a heartfelt tribute to a person who touched many lives.
They are also planning to have the statue inaugurated by our Honorable Chief Minister Mr. Revanth Reddy garu,which makes this occasion even more special and meaningful for the entire community.

Why build statues of anyone?
We ourselves are the moving statues of God.
No need for inspiration from anyone.
Let our hunger itself inspire us into action.
Let our unhappiness inspire us into seeking wisdom.
