[Gopichandana] church in tirumala

 

 

I came across this article in a local publication

which publishes religious and spiritual articles)

about plans going on in building a church in Tirumala

(up in Tirumala and not Tirupati). In fact the article

said already there are 7 churches in Tirupati. The CM

of AP Mr. Y. Samuel Rajashekar Reddy (who converted to

christianity ) is providing all the support for the

same from the government, which manages the whole

temple through T.T.D (the trust which manages all the

temples at Tirumala and Tirupati).

 

As a step towards this, they have already converted

the Executive Officer of T.T.D into an christian

(again, this officer is appointed by the

government itself). The plans came to light when 100

acres of land, up in Tirumala, was put to auction by

this executive officer and these Christian

missionaries started bidding for it. The question

was, why are they trying to sell the land while temple

is not at all in need of any money? Even if

the temple needed money, there are FDs from T.T.D

worth more than 15000 crores in various banks, which

can be withdrawn at any time. Over the

years, it was a guideline followed by T.T.D not to

sell any land to anyone. They used to lease the land

for different Mathas (like our Kashi

Matha) and Chathras. The lease period was not more

than 30 years which needed renewal after it expired.

This being the case, why would they sell

the land now?

 

The whole article was based on what was published in

a daily newspaper in AP called " Andhra Jyothi " .

 

Even when British were in power (pre-Independence),

they did not dare to

come to Tirupati/Tirumala with their conversion

plans. But now, with the

help of our own people, they are crossing all the

limits of toleration.

 

We need to spread this awareness amoung all our

people so that this can be

stopped if possible. So, I humbly request all of you

to post this message

in all the religious forums you have access to and

spread this shocking

news.
