Jahnava Nitai Das Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Tirupati Pilgrims Return Without Darshan TIRUMALA, INDIA, January 18, 2003: Thousands of pilgrims returned home recently without darshan of Lord Venkateswara, because the waiting time for the Sudarshan tickets exceeded 50 hours. Although the Tirumala-Tirupathi Devasthanams had geared to meet the rush of Ayyappa devotees, the arrangements fell into disarray. Angry devotees raised slogans against the TTD management and the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister. Thousands of pilgrims, particularly those who had bought the special tickets, were upset at the long waiting hours and wanted to collect the laddus provided free with the tickets.

Tarun Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 In Kaliyuga, this 50hr wait is not even the process. What is the use of visiting Tirupati, then returning to never do hari-kIrtan or hari-kathA at home? Solewear at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
