Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Dear Seekers of Truth & Protectors of Dharma! Here is a blessing from our Acharya HH Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji ... Enjoy... Priya Bhagavad Bandhus ! Jai Srimannarayana ! We are happy that everyone of you have come up with positive support for the divine cause of protecting the Temple traditions and Temple history and heritage of Tirumala. Riches of the Greatest Spiritual values are responsible for the great glory of the Tirumala Temple. Due to the ignorance and negligence of commitment towards them by the TTD authorities and also Archakas themselves, today it became a necessity to remedy the situation and protect the Tirumala Temple Tradition and also its history. For now the issue is like "Sleeping Virus", crooked minds are working behind the scenes, to damage every possible mark and evidence of the glorious Tradition of Tirumala Temple. Most of them are ready to sell themselves and the traditional values for the "benefits" and "interests". TTD authorities and Governments are busy in Elections and the responsible officials are escaping and deferring their own duties for which they are being paid by Lord. They want to delay the issue until elections are completed and till then they don't want to take any step in positive direction. What to say about external factors when internal people who are supposed to protect the traditions are themselves negligent and ignorant about the spiritual values of the Temple Tradition ? Meanwhile from the newspaper reports it is being learnt that some people who never even practice the basic sacred rituals of regular conduct for a human being to become eligible for worship in temple, are going to conduct "Sadas" (a meeting) at Tirumala in the month of May. However, TTD should not encourage any such unwarrented intrusion of others in the internal affairs of Tradition and its practices ! If they have real commitment to Lord Venkateswara, let them also put the Vertical Mark on their forehead as that of Lord Venkateswara and follow the tradition what Lord Srinivasa ordained ? TTD should better keep away this sort of intrusion by unrelated people in the affairs of Tirumala Temple and any activities by such people who do not conform to the basic Srivaishnava practices. It is not the big Mutts or politically influencive so called Swami's, that TTD like organisations should seek to resort. Neither any "personal interests" should play any role. Many glorious Traditions are already ruined during British rule and the available remnants of our great heritage and history should not be damaged at any cost. They should be preserved in their PURITY. If such activities by those unrelated people are allowed, they can't keep quiet and they come forward to speak whether they know any thing about or not. And when they speak, if something gives wrong message to the public, which is against to the Glorious tradition of the Temple, then we can't keep quiet as it misleads public at large. Then IT HITS NEWS AGAIN. Such things do not befit a developing society. People who are going to deal with delicate issues like traditions and practices that have thousands of years of history and importance, should have been exclusively practicing them all during the major part of their life !! Then they MIGHT get the eligibility to speak few words about that Tradition. Those who never practice that tradition have no right to speak anything in "Public" or in "Public Places" or with the "Media" about that tradition and also about the subtleties and logistics of that tradition and practices. As the followers of that Tradition, it is our duty and responsibility to inform people when something is going wrong, when something that is valuable, evident marks our Heritage and History, are being damaged and demolished. So we did it. We have to wait and see how things turn up. We are sure people will protect their "Treasure", even if the responsible authorities or Governments don't mind the "Spiritual Values" that the "Traditional Treasure" carries. We are Not interested to Introduce something New, at the same time we don't want to loose the marks of our glorious history. Every sand, every rock, every pillar, every Mantap, every inch on Tirumala has a great significance according to our scriptures and followed traditions. However, some people who want their supremacy over the temple are systematically destroying all the marks of the History and rich Heritage and they are introducing many many new things over there in Tirumala. Many constructions and destructions happened during last 20 to 30 years which if properly studied will make any human heart deeply weep. People belonging to other sects are really mad due to the fact that their intention to destroy our traditions is being accomplished directly by the authorities who are supposed to protect and by the negligent ignorant inmates ! But, anyway, we are thrilled and overwhelmed by the response you have shown by understanding the reality and responding positively . However, after election process is completed, we have to really do something more concrete for this cause. We are sure you yourself will keep ready for extending your helping hand in protecting the right cause and history of TTD. May Lord Sri Venkateswara feel happy, eat well, sleep well and enjoy the Love of His devotees ! May His grace clear all the odds and bless everyone to enjoy the exalt of the glory of the Tradition He ordained. Let us obey His ordinance to fulfill the purpose of His merciful arrival on this Earth, for the sake of liberating these drowned souls from the pangs of mundane sufferings. Awake and Respond to guard the Purity and sanctity of our Glorious Tradition ! Jai Srimannarayana ! =chinnajeeyar= Tax Center - File online by April 15th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
