No civil engineer from the AP PWD will be allowed to take up the Job without the ASI's expert service. This was a criminal act. I do not know whether it has been brought to the notice of Archeological Survey of India and relevant sections of the ancient monuments act invoked and their help expert should be utilised for the reconstruction, of course with all agamas rituals. The victory you have achieved though belated, has to be converted into a turning point in the History of post independent India.The over night demolition of the 1000 pillared mandapam at Tirumala, in the first place should not have taken place. This is but a historic sacrilege in the post independent India. For thousands of years this mandapam was standing there, in all its glory, providing shelter to millions of devotees, despite the historic invasions. some how the monument escaped and has been brought down by a zealot, of a Chief Minister. Even the most educated lot among the media savvy educated people do not know the full Incident. Thanks to the Anti-Hindu media. They made so much hue and cry about a dilapidated Babri structure. Here was a fully worshipped Hindu Temple in all its glory, which is more rich than the Vatican, and more devotees turning up every day for worship, than all other places of worship belonging to all other religions put together. One fine day, the 1000 pillar Mandap was dynamited down by the Chandra Babu naidu Government. In no other country could this have been allowed and such an awesome absence of Historic sense! idiocy at its heights that dominated the mind set. For the Sri Vaishnavas it was as bad as the destruction of the Temple mount of the Jews. Those Swami jis who remained silent in the episode and supported the Naidu should pay for this and legal action taken against them also for criminal conspiracy. Those political and officials who sided them, should also pay for this. Beware there could be a missionary hand behind this decision of naidu as he was known to parley with missionaries like Paul. Never again should become the mantra. Now Hindus should claim control over their temples, and wrest it from the secular government. The Destruction of the 1000 pillar Tirumala mandapam should act as a rallying point to achieve that end. Governments may come and go, political systems may come and go , rulers may come and go, VVIPS may come and go, boundaries may be redrawn, but the Hindu temples were meant to be lasting, hence they were constructed in Granite. Naidu has not seen light and may not live for next 100 years but the 1000 temple mandapam will! Hence it has to reconstructed. I would request you Swamiji to tell the complete incident of demolition of the historic monument to the public. In the past, during the muslim rule thousands of Hindu Temples were demolished. Please Sri Sita ram Goel's Monumental work : "Hindu Temples what happened to them" Vol 1 and 2. The Urls have been provided. http://www.bharatvani.org/books/htemples1/ http://www.bharatvani.org/books/htemples2/ http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate/temple1.html It is a must read for every Hindu devotee of Venkateswara and even more for every Hindu spirutal leader. Now Hindus should learn from this episode that their temples are not safe any more under a mulla and missionary dominated political set up. Every Hindu who has not heard of the destruction of the 1000 pillar Hall in the most famous temple Tirumala Tirupathy Temple, ought to be informed. This has not happened to any way side temple, build on a sidewalk, but to one of the most famous Temples where worship and pujas were offered for 1000 years, at least, built by several Rajas, with hundred of inscriptions, and the most rich , splendrous , and considered to be wealthier than the Vatican, and visited by more pilgrims than all the pilgrim centres of religions put together. If this vandalism, can't get in to the Guinness book of records, this sacrilege, happened in broad day light done by the state government itself, what will the fate of thousands of humble temples , that dot all over India under the present secular set up? The media has connived with the vandals by not reporting the incident. The future of the temples has become a doubtful hence a movement should be started to reclaim Hindu temples from the Anti-Hindu government. And *never again*. *Do or Die* should be the policy. Hinduism has to be liberated from the Anti-Hindu-political set up. Now Hindu leaders have to come out and speak up *openly* against the system. pranams, sincerely, laura kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
