Dear Sri Vishnu,

 

I had been to Thirumala on August 1st and had the bhagyam of attending the

Satthumarai on two days. There is no such rules that people without SikhA

cannot participate in the Satthumurai on Thirumala. The rest of the rules

remain the same except that they are followed more strictly. HH Sri

Thirumalai Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swami himself coordinates the process of

filtering the people without proper lakshnam (Beg everybodys pardon, I

couldn't find a better word to convey this). This is also to stop people

other than SriVaishnavas, who pose as SriVaishnavas just to get the darshan

of Lord ThiruvEngadamudayAn.

 

Of course, there are lot of improvements in the way the Satthumarai is

conducted. All due to the efforts and blessings of HH Sri Thirumalai

Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swami.

 

1. Earlier all the Srivaishnavas who were allowed to attend the Satthumarai

had to rush in. But now the Srivaishnavas are allowed inside the temple well

before the start of the Satthumarai.

 

2. Also the Satthumarai commences only after all the Bhagavathas have

assembled in the Sannidhi.

 

3. Earlier the archakas used to close the screen even before the Satthumarai

concludes, but now they are closing it only after all the Srivaishnavas had

a proper sevai of ThiruvEngadamudayAn.

 

Also heard that all these improvements started happening only after Sri

Chinna Jeeyar Swami won the case against the Thirumalai Thirupathi

Devasthanam.

So many paths that wind and wind,

While just the art of being kind

Is all the sad world needs.

Dear friends,

 

Is it true that people without SikhA cannot participate in the

Satthumurai on Thirumala, as per recently changed rules? Can someone

check with their relatives in Tirupati and write back?

 

Regards

Vishnu
