New 'Tirupathi' coming to ECR

NT Bureau

Chennai, July 16

 

Soon devotees in and around the city can have darshan of

Lord Venkateswara without taking a pilgrimage to Tirumala Hills.

Puzzled?

 

Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam that administers the daily

functions and rituals at the temple has identified the site for a

Divya Kshetram (sacred place) at Thiruvidanthai on the East Coast

Road, near the Shree Nithya Kalyani temple. 'We are earnestly

pursuing this issue with the Tamilnadu government and the work for

the Divya Kshetram will start before the end of 2006,' said A P V N

Sarma, Executive Officer, TTD today.

 

The proposed temple would bring the Lord nearer to devotees

here, besides reducing thousands of arrivals each day at the

Tirumala as the TTD has been stretched to the limits in managing the

temple with visitors growing by thousands in recent times. 'Those

who have taken vows of taking repeat pilgrimage for fulfillment of

wishes can visit the proposed temple, located closer home, after

visiting the Tirumala for darshan once,' Sarma explained. To begin

with the main deity would be installed, and once the devotees pour

in, associated sevas and rituals would be added in a phased

expansion at the identified site.

 

Denying reports that TTD was not interested in propagating

Hindu religion, he said the Tirumala administration had introduced

new festivals and rituals at the abode of Lord Venkateswara like

Garuda Seva on full moon day (held on 11 July) and Shravana Pooja

(scheduled for 9 August), and had introduced daily procession of the

main deities from January after the completion of Oonjal Seva in the

evening. After that ritual was over, the main deities would be taken

around the streets and avenues nearby to give darshan to visitors

and residents. 'We have reactivated local temples at Tirupathi with

new festivals and rituals so that even marginalised sections of

people are involved in the temple activities,' Sarma explained.

 

At Tirupathi, Laskhminaraya temple and Kothandarama Swami

temple were given a facelift with new festivals and initiatives of

late, he said. TTD would soon establish a Vedic University at

Tirupathi for which Andhra Pradesh government had given in-principle

approval. Funded by TTD, the new varsity would take under its fold

the existing Patasala, that offered Vedic courses, as affiliating

capacity would be extended to the proposed institution. 'We are

awaiting legislation from the government to proceed ahead on the

Vedic University,' he said.

 

Sarma informed that the TTD had intensified Dharma

Pracharas, Hari Kathas and a set of new rituals like urvalams to

retrieve marginalised sections of people back to Hindu fold as they

had been influenced by missionaries of other faiths. 'TTD authority

prevails only in Tirumala Hills, but at foothills in Tirupathi any

religious organisation can function with freedom,' he added.

No doubt , that SAMUEL RAJASHEKHAR REDDY is making all hinuds from tirumala to move to other places with his evanglist freinds converting people who are poor financially and also lot of churches coming up in and around Tirupati.

If one can emulate BILL GATES - Foundation an Charity enterprise and follow the economic principles- even TTD can do wonders with their contributions rom the PUBLIC.Reserve incremental funds -contributions from pUBLIC-for few years till accumulated 5 to ten times the present annual income.

Then spend 10 percent . REQUEST GOVERNMENT TO EQUALLY CONTRIBUTE .Go on buildup reserves and support all prominent

VAISHNAA and SIVA TEMPLES. Can we do it ?

Intellectual property rights are not respected by Bureaucrats. Can they streamline to protect better image for INDIANS.
