Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 ravi_chandran_k asks Namaskaram Swamiji. Do you believe that the places like Ayodhya, Mathura etc., in present India are the ones mentioned in our Puranas? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Jai Srimannarayana to all of Bhagavad Bandhus!!! We are happy to be with you all this morning. We are now doing some arrangements to conduct Pushkaras to Sacred River Krishna from 28th inst., This function lasts till 8th Sept. Time is running very fast, yet we feel to spend some time with you to clarify some of your doubts and share our views with you all with regard to the present crisis about Tirumala Temple, about its facts and clarifications. OK!!! Priya Raviji! Places like Ayodhya, Mathura etc., are the same as mentioned in our Puranas. But the geographical picture was changed a lot, due to constructions or distructions etc., as it happened in Tirumala. We identify those places observing the HILLS AND RIVERS AND FORESTS ETC., ------------ kunisi81 asks Namaskaram Ji We have been to ur ashram at Srirangam and very happy about that. My question is what should a person do in this self-centered world to retain love and affection and basic human ethics? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Have concern for others. Try to share the sorrows of others and try to share you joy with others by sparing a little time with them. At least listen to them as and what they feel and how. This is the first step. There are other steps which need a little bit scientific approach. ------------ rammohan_blr asks What activity we have to do to protest tirumala now ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Yes Rammohanji! Now the whole media is carried away in a wrong tract. It seems the whole purpose is to critisize us only at purely personal level. They think that the whole society is supporting the TTDs demolition. It is because no one is speaking aloud condemning the brutal act of TTD. Need is to challenge their deed in media. Write letters to the news papers. If possible talk to the TVs. Give your opinion plainly. At the same time inform about the facts to as many friends as possible so that they also may use the time to respond. Need again is to re-construct the 1000 pillared mandapam there only as it was earlier at the same height. The promise of the Govt. should be translated to action. Their giving the Order, should not become a child's play. ------------ raouncle asks Jai Sreemannarayana Swamiji. Yhis is Satyanarayana Rao from Birmingham, Alabama. How are you Swamiji? What is the latest on 1000 Pillar mandapam. ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Priya Raoji! Govt. is cheating millions of people by it's childish behaviour. We are trying to use the time of Krishna Pushkaram to educate the masses by publishing millions of booklets about the facts and details. Soon after pushkaras are over we may announce a strong action along with public. ------------ rammohan_blr asks As of now, nothing is clear from ApGovt about tirumala. they are moving words. We all are aready to do whatever you say. Pls tell us the next step to protest the centuries old heritage of tirumala. ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Priya Rammohanji! Let the pushkaras over. We will announce a massive plan of action either to conduct procession with thousands of devotees of Lord Venkateswara, it may be either on foot or by some vehicles. And next spet should be Nirasana Vratham (sitting in fasting) where again thousands of devotees will join. That should be the final and last step probably. ------------ raouncle asks Again this is Satyanarayana Rao Swamiji. The Newspapers are really distorting the facts and writing against you. Any thing that can be done? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Yes Raogaru! They have fallen to the depths of degradation. They want to insult us at any level. Of course, they are trying to spit on the sky. Let them do so. We need not worry forthat. You start writing letters and acticles to the media in India from there giving your opinion. Or call them by phone and tell them your concern. ------------ rammohan_blr asks If we conduct 'vaishnava samaghosti' once again at tirumala, Will it help serve the purpose. ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says No! It is not good now to do so. If they or any Media conducts some discussion across the table we are ready. That should happen only issue bases not otherwise. You can demand for that from there. ------------ rambalusu asks Pranamams to Pujya Sri Swamiji from SeethaRam Balusu, Poughkeepsie, NY ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Mangalasasanam to you ------------ pattaswamy asks Dear Swamiji, Namaskaramulu. Recent days there is a feeling that you are more involving socially rather than limited to spritual cause. Why are you so much interested in TTD affairs? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Well! We are not interest in TTD. They have invited us once on 4.2.2002 and again on 20.12.2002, to suggest improving measures in rituals and their Dharma Prachara Parishad. We took it in real sence. We went to Tirumala. Gave 2 suggestions, one for DPP to start a project. They did not want to do that. Thinking that project was good, we started by ourselves. That is Githajyothi. We pointed out some mistakes being done by the TTD. We suggested to rectify them. They said yes. Started seeking similar guidance from us. All was good, till we pointed their plan to construct the Maha Prakaram. We objected that move to construct the Maha Prakaram. They did not like it, because 72 + 20 crores of rupees money is involved in that deal. They they proceeded further in dismantling them 1000 pillared mandapam. They took it at a personal level and started abusing us, provoking many saints not related to the system of TTD, into it. We are confined to spiritual activities only. And spirutality means to serve God and His form. The whole world nothing but His Divine Form only. We never want to ignore other parts of the Same Body, for the sake of some parts. Do you mean that being spiritual means, not showing any concern for the neibour when he is suffering, saying that it is the job of doctor not me. ------------ arunasri25 asks guruji-we are srivaishnavas here we r not able to get vaishananva agnopavetam what to do on rakhipoornami day ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Priya arunasri! Give your address, we send them to you. Howmany you want? ------------ udayboyanapalli asks Jai srimannarayana -swami i missed your darshan in birmingham -we r going though very tough stage in life -i am dipressed with out a job-lost all hopes -wht should i do -where is life taking us-my husband's job is also gone today . ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says tough time will not remain always. Waves keep moving, some times they are big and sometime they are small. When it small jump up and when they are big bow before them. Read Vishnu Sahasra Nama Sthothram. WE are sure He will help; you. ------------ partha_55 asks Swami , World is looking towards Status of Living in Luxury and smart structures and as such there is such a small growth in this regard when can we expect Staaii reach to every people in the nation and to the people who want to join up in the staa ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Equal Sthayi will not be there to all, at any given time. As your five finger are different in size, sthayees are also vary from person to person. We need mental sthayee should be equal and same with the relationship to God. ------------ dvramanaa1 asks Adiyen Swamiji, this is ramana dingari from Lexington. What is the latest on Tirumala? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Dear dingariji! Latest is Lord's agony on Tirumala, as there is no one to listen to Him. He is waiting for you the devotees to speak out. He is doing a lot for us./ Now let us do for Him. ------------ chelvapillai asks Is anybody at TTD understanding what Thyself is trying to do? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says If one like you is there to cry for Him, He feels happy. ------------ navyasneha asks Namaskaram Swamiji,I met u at the Hindu temple of Atlanta, but missed ur answer to the question: What is the significance of Thaali in todays world? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says It is mark of Love and sharing the life. It should not be something to be binding. It is the same before and even now. ------------ smannar asks SWamiji,we are married for 6 years,and we dont have children,how do i console myself ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says When moon is ordained to be cool,he accepted silently. Because He knows that God is all knowing. If you believe in God, accept what He ordains to you, is right. Do not question. ------------ monjee123 asks Swamijee ki Jai!, Ji, Pls tell us how to protect our hindhu DHARMA and practices in kaliyuga........ ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Be united. Kaliyuga is only to keep things move fast. It is to say that the Dharma is weak. But not to say that we need to skip out from our duties, as many take is as an excuse. ------------ rambalusu asks SwamiJi, this is SeethaRam Balusu from Poughkeepsie, NY. I believe, we did wonderful e-mail campaign and protests infront of Indian Consulate Offices etc. etc. on Tirumala Issue. what else should we do, we need your instructions, gu ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Keep observing the things. Raise your voice to the media from there. Talk to Indian Magzines. ------------ navyasneha asks Swami, Being born in an orthodox Hindu (Iyengar family) is it wrong for me to visit a Church just so as to know more abt the other religion (I am also an avid temple goer) ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says There is nothing wrong in going to Church or a Mosque to know about what and how they are doing their things. All that you need to get the good things from them and leave other things. You should not ignore your duty after observing the whole. Good may be grasped from any corner of the world. ------------ sarimohan asks hi swamiji, namaskarams, this is mohan from new jersey, do u think there will be showdown on the tirumala controversy very soon ? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says It is His wish. We are given some strength to serve Him. We use it very sincerely. What and How to end it is His job. We do not want to be questioned by the God or the God of Death, as, " You Fool, did not react appropriately, when my Temple is in danger, you spent your time in eating and sleeping, not thinking of Protecting Me and My Dharma" ------------ monjee123 asks Ji! what is the first and foremost duty of a Hindu? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says We know the duty of Man in general. Realize and Respond according to the situation for good. ------------ chelvapillai asks Your Holiness, did You get a chance to speak to Peria Jeeyar at Thirumala? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says We wanted to talk to him in recent times,through the phone, but he never allowed to connect. When we did it earlier, he appeared very restless and fishy in his words. ------------ SRIRAN asks Namaskarams. I live in the USA and had the fortune to have your blessings when you performed Sudarshana Yagna here. I am trying to learn the Kramams of doing Nityaaradhana. Who is the right person to educate me on that? and what is the Correct approach to ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says It is good. We have book by name "Sripathi Sthuthimala" the procedure is there in a simple manner. If you need more details, you can contact our offices there 'sallakki' or other addresses at San Fransisco etc., ------------ savetirumala asks Jai Srimmanarayan SwamiJi, I feel pained to see these scribes writing and propagating false stuff,we need to educated Lord Srinivasa's devotess and come up with a plan Guruji. ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Nice, give a plan, we implement immediately. We put a detailed note about the facts and details. Read Them and tell to everybody. ------------ Masterek asks Jai Sriman Narayana! Swamiji. This is Gopi Chari. Our two volunteers from Mitreya Center are quite eager to join you at your tribal schools. I wonder if you had a chance to look at their biodata. I know you had a very hectic time! ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says WE welcome them. ------------ harjinder10 asks Namaskar swamiji, i want to ask you why everything goes wrong with a people who always try to say truth but the other people take it in a wrong way. ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says truth is always un-palatable, souring, bitter etc. You need to put it in a capsulized manner. Otherwise, you will be in trouble to administer. Let us start to speak truth only in sweet manner. ------------ vishnurd asks Jai Srimannarayana! Swamiji, Structures like Charminar and Golkonda are requested for Heritage. Why not Tirumal? Are Temples or Religious structures Exempt from Heritage Organizations! ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Not at all. Yet, we do not pay any attention on them, hence the money-minded Govt. Officials take it for granted to enjoy the benifits of our negligence. If we realize and raise to the cause, they keep mum. Initially we need to know the value of our heritage. It is not taught in schools nor in homes. Nobody teach about it in the soceity. If somebody talks about it they treat him crazy. That is the bit problem. It is not the same with other religions. They take is to the heart. First priority is that for them. No priority is there for us. Rather we feel shame to talk about it. Let us start educate our masses and children first. ------------ syadavalli asks Namaskaram Swamiji Some of us in this world experience the devine bliss and get a kind of happiness with peacefull mind.But to live in this kaliyuga we are forced to tell lies and we are forced to use untruthfull means. By doing so th emental peace gets ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Do what you are forced to do to live in the society. But do not carry it to home. Get the mundane fruit of it so that you can lead your life. Use it for the minimum requirements. Rest, you need to spend for the dharma and daivam. Then the earning or speaking something against your consciousness, also would be justified as good. aS YOU know ends justify the means. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE MEANS ALSO GOOD AND CLEAN, IT IS WONDERFUL. THEN THE QUESTION OF JUSTIFICATION WILL NOT ARISE AT ALL,RIGHT!. ------------ pattaswamy asks Dear Swamiji, One more last question please. does man has free will or not? please give me straight answer. Pls accept my pranams to your feet. ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says Yes is straight answer. Man has free will. That is the reason, most of the times that "free will" throw him into this trash, Samsara. Give the responsibility of using your free will also, according to the will of God, then He comes to your rescue, and brings you up the agonies, 'the:sha:m aham samuddhartha mruthyu samsa:ra sa:gara:th bhava:mi na chira:th pa:rtha mayi a:ve:sitha che:thasa:m' is the promise of God. ------------ pavan_here asks namaskram swamiji..respected sir,i am disturbed by your comment on sri Venkateswara swamy.i want to tell you that you should not say like that.what is your clarification on this topic.isnt it mahapapam .? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says seeing Him being cheated by the people is more big mahapapam. Knowing that wrong is going on there and not interested in saying our is the biggest mahapapam. Critisizing people who are supporting the God and His cuase, not we, but many other devotees, is still unbearable maha papam. Bheeshmacharya was seeing simply, when Drowpathi was being dis-robed by Kowravas. Being able to stop it he did not do that. He should have gone out. But he did not do that also. The result for that maha papam was "exposing his body on the bed of arrows to eagles and flies and mosquitos and other birds" We said all officials and politicians are using Lord venkateswara as a minor millionier. They can take away the money that was lying there. But they have no right to spoil the "pavithratha of the temple and His a:ra:dhana and other systems" Do you accept that they are respecting any system ther? Are they observing any agamic rules or sampradayik values? They are cutting down every ritual and all the vaidic staff is simply dancing to the tunes of the officials. The reasons may be many. These vaidic people are having their nose and hair in the hands of Official for their own corruptuous deeds. They, if not accept the orders of the official, those corruptions will be brought out and action will be taken on them. Poor vaidicas are nodding their heads for whatever the officals say, knowing that they are purely wrong.Because the agama books did not accepted what these vaidicas are doing. Even they are also aware of this. The ultimate result is spoiling the age-old tradition and usage and customs. Apavithratha is also added to Lord Venkateswara, after taking away the money offered to Him by real devotees, who come on foot from thousands of mile on foot, chanting 'govinda, govinda etc'. Now you need to say that our word is right or wrong!!! If our agony is wrong and trying to stop it is mahapapam, we are ready to face the consequeses. If you think that it is right to cry like that, then you also pray to Him, to save His devotees and His temple system from Keechakas. ------------ savetirumala asks Jai Srimannarayana Swamiji After listening to so many events in Tirumala,I feel very sad,is the Lord testing our resolve?Why can't HE do dushta sikshana,sishta rakshana? ChinnaJeeyarSwamiji says During ravana's period or Hiranya Kasipu's period or even during Kamsa's period, rushis and sages suffered for a long time. He tested their interest. When He found that their concern is true, then He born and finished the demons. Let us prove that our concern is true. Let Him show us right path, OK!! ------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
