Chilkur Balaji Mandir

[Guest guest]

I wish to share a great news I received from Shri Kishore, Chilkur Balaji

Mandir. Readers may remember that the AP Endowment Department fell on this

Mandir. They wanted to take it over because it had become a very important

Mandir for the Hindus because the crowds started thronging. All kinds of

trouble were given to Shri Soundararajan, the Trustee and Chief Priest. The

Government constituted a commission under Shri RVVK Prasad (IAS) Retd, who is

former Executive Officer of the TTD to get opinion from the public as also to

recommend the Government on the Mandir's takeover.

 

Due to tireless work of Shri Kishore ji, Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samiti and

others, lots of emails were sent to this commission, in support of the Mandir

remaining independent of the AP Endowment Department. I have just recd news

that the AP Chief Minister has announced in the Assembly today that the Chilkur

Balaji Mandir would retain its Autonomous status and will NOT be taken over by

the Endowment Department.

 

I also wish that Andhra Pradesh government keeps the promise made to us during

our recent meeting with him under the leadership of Dr Subramanian Swamy and

scrap the idea of Govt sponsored Dharmik Parishad and invite the Hindu Dharma

Acharya Sabha to constitute the Dharmik Sabha in AP to administer the first set

of 30,000 Mandirs the government

finds " non-profitable " and leave it to the administration of Hindu

Bhaktas.
