Temple protection Movement in AP

Pranamam,

    We all know that temples are the fountain-head of Bharateeya Culture and spiritual values. Protection and development of Temples and the surroundings has been an established tradition of our country.
   
Over a period of time, Temples have become a treasure-hunt for the officers, incharge of the Temples. The basic object is defeated. Temple lands and properties have been sold out and encroached. Most of the Temples are left to perish. Nearly 28,000 temples in various places are in a bad shape requiring renovation. Even daily rituals are not performed in these Temples.
    
Sri Kamal Kumara Swamy ji has dedicated his life to the noble cause of Protecting Temples and Temple properties. To rejenuvate the traditional Bharateeya Culture it is necessary to get the Temples back to their glory. Sri Kamal Kumar Swamiji has established Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samithi – a full time organization working on every aspect of TEMPLES such as Protesting Temple Lands auctioning, Encroachments, Temple demolitions, Conversions and propagation of other religions in Hindu Temples and many more.

         Sri Kamal Kumara Swamy ji is the First person to take up the arduous task of doing Paada Yatra throughout Andhra Pradesh for the past 3 years

        * The first Paada Yatra was started from Sri Gnana Saraswati Temple, Basara and culminated at Tirumala covering 3200 Kms in 130 days in 13 Districts, covering entire Telangana region.
        * The second Paada Yatra was started from Srikurmam in Srikakulam District and ended again at Tirupathi covering 5500 Kms in 200 days in 10 Districts, covering Costal Andhra and Rayalaseema.    

    He has succeeded in bringing up a revolution in public, awareness in every citizen about the need of protecting temples, conducting rituals following the traditions. Over 10,000 people from all the districts gathered in both the meetings MAHA SABHAS at Tirupati.
 

    Sri Kamal Kumara Swamy ji is planning to bring similar awareness in the URBAN population too.

    For this purpose he is planning to start the 3rd Paada Yatra in the Greater Hyderabad covering 3000 Temple in all Bastis in 130 days. This will start from 20/09/2009.        

    Objectives

    We earnestly appeal and request the representatives of the different associations, Peetams, Maths, Spiritual Organisations and devotees to kindly participate in MEETING, give their valuable suggestions and take active interest in this noble task and make the third Paada Yatra successful.
