From Hindu Unity
National Movement to Save Tirumala
Namaste
For those who did not attend the Samarop of the
Prathama Varsha, Sri Deshpande in his baudhik pointed
out a number of issues, primary among them being the
situtation at Tirupati.
As all of us are aware, Lord Sri Venkateswara's temple
at Tirumala is also known to be the Temple of Seven
Hills ( Edukondalavada); The total area of the 7 hills
is approx 243 sqkms. As per the practise for many
centuries, conversion or religious propaganda in this
area was forbidden.
The Government through a GO has changed this and
relegated the overall area of Tirumala to 27.5 sqkm,
meaning that in the balance area, all sorts of
propaganda can be done;
Moroever, it has been discovered that over 50 Xtian
families are staying in Tirumala as part of the temple
administration.
To add to this there is an attempt to change the name
of the Padmavati Mahila Viswavidyalaya which is under
the aegis of the TTD. The Dean and VC of the Univs are
now Xtians and so are many of the staff where they are
openly indulging in conversion.
Dharma Jagaran Vibhag and Devalaya Parirakshana Samiti
have launched an agitation under the aegis of "
Tirumala Samrakshana Samiti"
Pujya Pejawar Swami has sent a letter to many leading
illumiaries and bhakts in the country. We would also
be launching an movement across the country to spread
this message and put pressure on the government to
revoke its stand.
Meanwhile, we could begin getting in touch with our
near and dear and inform them of the happenings.
All of you would be happy to know that some of our
group members, Sri Vishnu, Sri Arvind and other
swayamsevaks from the Dilsukhnagar Bhag were
instrumental in bringing to notice to the TTD and
police officials regarding the practise of conversion
in Tirumala. They caught some people red handed which
was later reported in all leading newspapers and TV.
Dhanyavaad
