TTD authorities, in the name of improving the facilities to the visitors, is categorically destroying the ancient historic structures. The 600-year old 1000-pillar Mandapam was demolished completely. The 1000-year old house where the temple architect once stayed to formulate the procedures was removed. The garden from where fresh flowers used to garland our beloved Lord is now in ruins. Instead flowers from cold storage are given to the Lord. Even the aaraadhana practices are changed to provide more visitors to pass through the gates. The world's richest God does not have proper rest or food. In the name of the 'Master Plan', TTD authorities are destroying the age old structures, and also planning to build the structures that are against the Silpasastra principles. In any country in this world, millions is spent to restore the old glory, but at Tirumala millions is spent to destroy the heritage. Please visit www.savetirumala.org for more details. You can see a video clip that shows before and after the destruction. Other links also show many pictures of what is happening. What do we do about it? Governments and TTD authorities are moving ahead with the destruction plan. Recent court order has temporarily stopped the demolitions. Now, it is upto the devotees of the Lord around the world to dictate the terms to the authorities to not only restore what was destroyed, but also provide immunity for the future activities. Also, bring back the practices to serve the Lord as it was originally prescribed by Lord Ramanuja thousand years ago. Facilities to the visiting devotees can be improved, but without disturbing the sanctity of Lord's abode. The power and glory of Tirumala is not only in the sanctum sanctorum, but also the surroundings. All the structures, gardens, pushkarini, and also people play their part to maintain the balance. This is what we can do at this stage - 1. Visit www.savetirumala.org and sign the petition. You can also email me at sallakki (AT) comcast (DOT) net to show your support. These signatures will play a very big part in the court's decision on the future proceedings. Also, the governments will have to take the mass opinion of the people in making their decisions. 2. In USA, we are planning a peaceful protest in front of the Indian Consulate in New York, Washington DC, Houston, Chicago and San Francisco on Friday July 30th between 3pm to 5pm. This is how we can show our presence to the Indian Government, and also get press coverage to bring the awareness to all. We will have to preserve our heritage for our future generations. Please let me know if you are willing to participate in this peaceful protest in New York on July 30th from 3pm to 4pm or 4pm to 5pm (only for one hour). We need to have at least 200 people so that we will be heard. Please call me (609-750-1143) or send me an email (sallakki (AT) comcast (DOT) net) to show your support. We need to discuss the logistics of how we can do this effectively. I will call you to discuss. Let us also discuss any other ideas that can be implemented quickly. This is a test for every devotee of Lord Venkateswara. Let us do our bit.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 dear sir I am also pained to see that demolitions are being done with any respect for agamas and religious sanctity. I am also informed that government of india official is a member of the trust that is managing the affairs of the temple. he has been appointed recently. but there is protest from the employeesw of TTD that he may interfere. The govt. of india should retain this official in the board and also ask archeological department to post a man there permanently to save the temple if any untoward demoltiions take place. Further the TTD board should give respect to the sentiments of the bhaktas and not take any unilateral decisions on their own. LET THE HEADS OF ALL MADATHIPADHIS GIVE A UNITED CALL TO SAVE THE TEMPLE FROM THE ZEALOTS. rajaraman --- s_narayanan wrote: > Friends, > > Please use your judgement to protect the ancient > temples of India, the > "Punya Boomi". > > S Narayanan > ----- Forwarded by S Narayanan/E07/DEPTS/IN/FWUK/GB > on 07/20/2004 09:38 AM > ----- > > > S Sowmya > 07/20/2004 08:54 AM > > > S > Narayanan/E07/DEPTS/IN/FWUK/GB@FWUK, M > Arunagiri/A03/DEPTS/IN/FWUK/GB@FWUK, Jaikishan > Sowmya/A03/DEPTS/IN/FWUK/GB@FWUK, G > Srinivasan/A03/DEPTS/IN/FWUK/GB@FWUK, > e.balasaravanan, > balchands, > harish.parthasarathy, > n.hemakumar, > mano, muraliffhl, > kishore.kumar, > brindhaca, > Aravind.Sankaranarayan, > vandana.sarathy > cc: > Fwd: Support ' SAVE > TIRUMALA' Campaign > > > ----- Forwarded by S Sowmya/A03/DEPTS/IN/FWUK/GB on > 07/20/04 08:03 AM > ----- > > > "U Raghavan" <bharatarjun2002 > 07/19/04 10:55 PM > > > bharatarjun2002 > cc: > Fwd: Support ' SAVE > TIRUMALA' Campaign > > > Pl do respond. > > Sowmya Rajagopalan <sowmya_rgopalan > wrote: > Sun, 18 Jul 2004 17:09:35 -0700 (PDT) > Sowmya Rajagopalan > Fwd: Support ' SAVE TIRUMALA' Campaign > sowmya_rgopalan > > pls send in your petitions... and pass this on. > > Note: forwarded message attached. > > > > > > > Vote for the stars of 's next ad campaign! > http://advision.webevents.//votelifeengine/ > > > > ATTACHMENT part 2 message/rfc822 > "Sarma Allakki" > To: > Support ' SAVE TIRUMALA' Campaign > Sun, 18 Jul 2004 10:14:42 -0400 > > Dear Devotees of Lord Sri Venkateswara (Sri Balaji), > > You may be following what is happening at Tirumala, > Tirupathi during the > last six months.
