Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Dear Swamis, I am extremely pained to see the 1000 pillar mandapam in front of the temple simply razed to nothing. This great mandapam was built by Salva Maldeva Raya one of the power ful kings in the year 1450AD. I think he was the king reigning when sri Annamacharya was there. It is a model in itself with exquisite granite carvings & inscriptions. Many important events have taken place. It is a gift of history to the mankind & it deserves to be protected like the temple itself. I am infact taken aback when TTD has almost bulldozed the entire surroundings at Tirumala, sparing only the Ananda Nilayam complex i.e. inside the Rajagopuram. It is pathetic to see that many buildings & surroundings of great importance which are desrved to be protected at what ever cost have been mercilessly demolished without any respect for the past. I think this act of TTD is a high handedness & deserves to be condemned in the strongest manner possible. They have neither the right nor any business to do this. The reasons given by them are too low in importance to qualify for such an act. I would put TTD in a place even worse than the dismissed Taliban givernment in Afganistan which demolished Bamiyan buddha statues. There are video clippings on the web site of sri chinna jeer swamy which speak volumes. When the world is going in the direction of protecting heritage by sanctioning millions of Euros e.g. UNESCO, where in even city layouts are not altered, but protected. It is only in our own country that these kind of ill-acitivities and attrocities contnue. Sometimes, i wonder how can such a civilised country be transformed into the most uncivilised nation of the world ! - I should now make this statement because I cant tolerate this attrocity. I request all to condemn this dastardly act and demand for resurrection of the mandapam in exactly sama splendour, not less not more. Also the demolished sannidhis & places of religious historical importance should be reinstated for the future generation & public. No one should have right to tamper with them. I think TTD has no right to continue after this act. Sajjana Pada Padma Parama renuhu Lakshmi Narasimha dasa Ramana Ramana <dwaraka wrote: Priya Bhagavat Bhanduo! It is very good to see the discussion on the subject. Unfortunately because of the difference in our opiniion, TTD is doing all mischief. I beg with folded hands to each and every body, please snub our individual preferences and join hands with everybody to fight against TTD. Today it is Tirumala, tomorrow it will be another temple. When a small mazid appears on the road, they will protect it and lay the road around it. Then why is that TTD is destroying the centuries old structures. Please try to understand the hidden agenda behind the demolition of structures. We should not forget that we are all followers of Bhagavad Ramajuja. If do not join the hands and fight now then it is better that we do not call ourselves vaishnavaites. Hope everybody understands.

However, I must say I wish the same degree of care and concern is also demonstrated by everyone for the upkeep, protection and preservation of several other hundreds of temples that are languishing in S.India (especially T'nadu). When a 1000-mantapam structure in Tirumala is razed it inspires SriVaishnavas, both at home and abroad, to take up cudgels if not arms. Very good, and we must welcome it, of course. But what about hundreds of lesser "mantapam-s" in scores of lesser temples being daily destroyed right before our eyes, through sheer neglect and apathy on our part? Why don't we raise a hue and cry for those poor temples simply rotting away? We must ask why is it that no "mattadhi- pati" or high-profile pontiff comes forward to defend or otherwise rouse his faithful following to support such poorer temples? I have never quite understood why it must always be "tiruvEngadamUdaiyAn" who must always monopolize the limelight at the expense of hundreds of other poorer ones in the country? (Here I must say I really salute those individuals/charitable institutions who today are silently involved in the restoration and upkeep of small 'adopted' temples and "divya-dEsam-s". They, in fact, are the ones with the utmost credibility to protest against the destruction of the 1000-mantapam at Tirumala. They could easily make an iron-clad case if they were to say to the TTD, "With the same amount of money you spent in demolishing the Tirumala-mantapam, we could restore a dozen or more smaller temples that are under our care. So dear Mr.TTD, please let us restore our temples first before you go tearing yours down!"). To the gentleman who wrote above to say that (QUOTE) IT LOOKS TO ME JUST FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION, WE DISCUSS ALL THESE CRAP (SORRY TO SAY, > >AS I FEEL IF WE DONT WANT TO PROTECT THE GOD AND THEN > >TALK GREATNESS ABOUT THE SAME god,(UN-QUOTE)... to him above, I can only say: Sir, unless you show us what really you did for the sake of the upkeep/ preservation of other indigent temples in S.India, all your righteous indignation might qualify too as no more than plain "CRAP" (to use your own very elegant & parliamentary expression).

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Dear Sri Sudarshan swamy, I am very happy at your response & u spoke the complete nerve that we have been following so far. In fact, we are a running a temple protection movement in Andhra Pradesh with a motto to restore past glory of many temples. It is with the support of many devotees an awakening to this respect is created now. Some are restored, let us see how far we can go. Govt has a big department with lots of officers and staff, but the money they get from big temples like TTD becomes sufficient to pay the salaries of the high ranking officers and staff of these temples. Nothing ofcourse goes to small temples - only contributions to the exchequer are taken from them. Being rich temple, TTD gets lot of attention from the govt. Lord is the creator, protector & destroyer.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Dear Bhagavatas: The subject has been discussed ad nauseum and as far as possible, all views have been given equal opportunity so far. It is high time we stopped further discussions. It is understandable that out of overflow of devotion over the sanctity of our Sampradayam, people have been voicing their genuine concerns on the issue. Lord Venkateswara, the sole protector of all the worlds, is not in such pathetic plight as not being able to protect Himself! He knows what is best and when and how to handle any situations. Let us leave it in His mighty hands on how to solve this problem. No further discussions will be approved in "Sri Ranga Sri" Any discussions, if needed, may be carried on through private mails. On a different note on postings,please avoid using "all caps" throughout the text. In netiquette, it is considered "shouting at the reader"! Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Moderator "Sri Ranga Sri" =============================================================== SRIMATHEY RANGARAMANUJA MAHA DESIKAYA NAMAHA RESPECTED SWAMIS, I SINCERELY FEEL THAT THE TIRUMALA ISSUE IS BEING POLITICISED. WHY SUCH A HUE AND CRY NOW? SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS WAKING UP AS IF THE LORD SRINIVASA MANIFESTED NOW. WHY WAS THERE NO OPPOSITION(WHEN IT OUGHT TO BE) WHEN A ROAD WAS LAID TO THE SHRINE (IT SHOULD BE RECALLED THAT SWAMI RAMANUJAR DID NOT DARE TO WALK ON THE SEVEN HILLS) WHEN THEY STARTED PERFORMING TIRUMANJANAM WITH TAP WATER (WHEN ABUNDANT SPRING WATER IS AVAILABLE AT PAPAVINASAM,AKASAGANGA AND GOGARBHAM) WHEN THE TRADITIONAL JEEYAR SATHUMURAI SEVAI WAS CUT SHORT WHEN THE LADDUS WERE SOLD WITHOUT BEING OFFERED TO THE LORD AT ALL(EVEN NOW, THEY ARE NOT OFFERED. THESE LADDUS ARE NO LESS THAN HOTEL LADDUS) WHEN THE DEVOTEES ARE EXPLOITED AT EACH AND EVERY PLACE IN TIRUMALA AND TIRUPATI(YOU NEED TO GREASE THE PALMS EVERYWHERE RIGHT FROM KALYANA GHATTA TO DARSHAN) ------------------- THE GOVT. LOOKS AT THE CONVENIENCE OF THE DEVOTEES(at least on paper) HENCE IT LAID DOWN ROADS, STEPS AND SHELTERS WHEREVER POSSIBLE.(REMEMBER: I AM NOT SUPPORTING ANY GOVERNMENT) THE GOVT. FELT THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO CONSTRUCT THE FOURTH PRAKARAM BY DEMOLISHING THE 1000 PILLAR TEMPLE FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE PUBLIC. MOREOVER, THE 1000 PILLAR MANDAPAM WAS DILAPITATED AND WAS IN A DANGEROUS POSITION.(It was built in 15th century). NO TEMPLE FUNCTIONS WERE HELD THERE SINCE A LONG TIME. THOUGH IT IS AN ANCIENT MONUMENT TO BE PROTECTED, IT CAN ALWAYS BE RELOCATED TO SOME OTHER PLACE. VAIKHANASA AGAMA PERMITS THE RELOCATION OF YAGASAALAS THEMSELVES, WHAT TO SPEAK OF JUST MANDAPAMS? MOREOVE, FOURTH PRAKARAM IS PERMITTED IN VAIKHANASA AGAMA. THE GOVT. DID SO IN CONSULTATION WITH THE TEMPLE PRIESTS. IF IT WAS A WRONG DECISION, WHAT WERE THE SO CALLED "PROTECTORS" DOING WHEN IT WAS BEING DEMOLISHED?. WHY WAS A CASE NOT FILED AGAINST THE GOVT? IT IS BECAUSE THE VAIKHANASA PANDITS AND TIRUMALA JEER MUST HAVE FELT THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING IN ORDER. HOWEVER, I STRONGLY CONDEMN THE DESTRUCTION OF HISORICAL PEDDA JEER MUTT. THE GOVT. HAS NO RIGHT TO LAY ITS HANDS OF THE MUTT AND BEDI HANUMAN TEMPLE. THEY CANNOT TOUCH HATHIRAM BABA MUTT ALSO. WHY SUCH ATROCITIES ARE HAPPENING? BECAUSE WE HAVE THROWN OUR SHASTRAS. WHAT IF A GOVT. OFFICIAL ASKS US "ARE YOU A TRUE ARCHAKA? DO YOU HAVE PROPER ANUSHTANAM?" WE WILL BE CLEAN BOWLED. WE HAVE COMPROMISED WITH ACHARAM AND ANUSHTANAM AND HENCE WE HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE. WE CANNOT ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE";WHY ARE YOU EATING HERE AND THERE IF YOU ARE A BHRAHMANA?, WHY ARE YOU PUTTING AYYAPPAN MAALA IF YOU ARE A VAISHNAVA PARICHARAKA? WHY ARE YOU GOING TO PUTTAPARTHI SAIBABA OR SHIRDI SAIBABA IF YOU ARE A TRUE VAISHNAVA?WHY DON'T YOU WEAR 12 OORDHVAPUNDRA AND SHIKHA IF YOU ARE AN ARCHAKA? WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH PROPER VAISHNAVA SWAROOPAM IF YOU WANT JEEYAR SEVAI?" LET US INTROSPECT OURSELVES. LET US FOLLOW THE PATH OF OUR POORV ACHARYAS SINCERELY. THE LORD WILL SET EVERYTHING STRAIGHT. "NEE KONDAKU NEEVE RAPPINCHUKO" AS LONG AS WE ENACT DRAMAS AND STUNTS WITHOUT PROPER INVOLVEMENT AND BHAKTI, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. THE GOVT. WILL GO AHEAD WITH ITS DEMOLITIONS. H.H. TEREZHUNDUR ANDAVAN USED TO ASK HIS DISCIPLES"ENNADA ANDA BOMMAYAI PATHUTTU VANDIYA?" BOMMAI REFERS TO LORD SRI RANGANATHA SINCE THERE WAS NO SHASTRIC WORSHIP IN LINE WITH AAGAMAS. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, TIRUMALA IS HOLY SHRINE ONLY BECAUSE OF MILLIONS OF DEVOTEES WHO CHANT "GOVINDA NAMA SANKIRTANAM". NOT BECAUSE OF THE MOOLAVAR BOMMAI SRINIVASA PERUMAL. HE RAN AWAY TO HIS ABODE LONG BACK LEAVING BACK HIS IMAGE.OF COURSE, EVEN HIS DIETY IS TRANSCENDENTAL FOR US. HENCE THE CROWD AND COLLECTION. KINDLY PARDON THIS DAASA, IF THE ABOVE STATEMENTS SOUND ARROGANT. CRITICISMS ARE WELCOME DAASAN E.S.MUKUNDAN,SECUNDERABAD. DAASAN E.S.MUKUNDAN,SEC'BAD. --- narsimhan csl <cslnarsimhan wrote: > > Dear Sri Sudarshan swamy, > > I am very happy at your response & u spoke the > complete nerve that we have been following so far. > In fact, we are a running a temple protection > movement in Andhra Pradesh with a motto to restore > past glory of many temples.
