Hyderabad IT professional achieves VIP darshan for writing 10 lakh ‘Govinda’ namaams

A young IT professional from Andhra Pradesh has turned her devotion into an extraordinary spiritual achievement. Noothi Pooja, 24, from Dhuni in East Godavari district, earned the prestigious VIP Break Darshan at the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala after writing the divine name ‘Govinda’ 10,01,116 times.
Working remotely from Hyderabad, Pooja balanced her demanding tech job with family responsibilities and late-night work hours.
Facing stress, she found solace in the TTD’s ‘Govinda Koti’ initiative—originally aiming for one lakh namaams, she exceeded it tenfold, driven by a sense of inner joy.
Accompanied by her husband Abhishek, Pooja visited Tirumala this week, where she was granted a front-row darshan of the deity. “It was a divine blessing to stand in the first line and see Swami up close,” she said, expressing gratitude and emotion after completing her spiritual journey.
Pooja’s accomplishment stands as a testament to how unwavering faith can bring profound fulfillment amidst life’s pressures.
