Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy DHYANAM, MEDITATION

Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy (Telugu: యేడుగురి సందింటి రాజశేఖర రెడ్డి) (8 July 1949 – 2 September 2009), popularly known as YSR, was a two-time Chief Minister of the state of Andhra Pradesh. He was seen as the best Chief Minister of Andhra pradesh due to his work for the rural masses.^[3] In the words of Yahoo, YSR was a mass leader who ruled the hearts of people in Andhra Pradesh.^[4]

He was elected to the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Lok Sabha from the Kadapa constituency for four terms and to the Andhra Pradesh Assembly for five terms from the Pulivendula constituency. He holds the record of not losing any election throughout his political career. However, fairness of elections in Pulivendula has always been questioned.^[5] In 2003 he undertook a three-month-long paadayaatra, or walking tour of 1475 km in hot summer, across several districts in Andhra Pradesh to get into power.^[6] He led his party to victory in the next general and assembly elections held in 2004 and also the next election in 2009. He is the only chief minister of AP to have come back to power after being in office for a full term.
On 2 September 2009, a helicopter carrying Reddy went missing in the Nallamala forest area. On the morning of 3 September 2009, media agencies reported that the helicopter had been found crashed on top of Rudrakonda Hill, 40 nautical miles (74 km) from Kurnool. This was later confirmed by the Prime Minister's office and all five people aboard were pronounced dead at the scene
