TTD authorities insulted Hindu Spiritual leaders – Sri Kamal Kumar Swamiji

Dharma Rakshana Samithi held on November 29, 20010 in Chennai.

Sri Kamal Kumar Swamiji, President of Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samithi held a news conference in Tirupathi on November 28 and dubbed the cancellation of  Sanatana Dharma Prachara Sadassu by TTD authorities is an ‘insult’ to the religious heads as they were invited and sent back thrice. He also said that the congregation of 65 spiritual leaders would have given suitable guidelines not only on the administration of the temple in a Dharmic way, but also on propagation of the cherished Hindu values.

“This apart, it could have aided the TTD take a correction course, thus help it wriggle out of the scores of scams and corruption charges heaped against it, of late,” he told. Swamiji also asked the TTD to break free from political interference and infuse a tinge of spiritualism into all its activities. Instead of brushing aside the ‘Sadas’ as yet another event, he appealed to Mr. Krishna Rao to understand its potential to emerge as a major conclave that could set several things straight in Tirumala. He demanded that Sadassu (Meeting) be convened immediately. “Our intention is to protect the sanctity of Tirumala and we will not allow it to convert into a political and commercial center.”

            However, Mr. T. Ravi, TTD public relations officer said that Dharmacharya Sadassu is not cancelled.

            On November 29, a private Hindu forum Dharma Rakshana Samithi (DRS) organized the Dharmic Sadassu under the leadership of  Sri Dayananda Saraswati of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam and Sri Jayendra Saraswathi of Kanchi Sankaracharya Muth. DRS has taken up the agenda prepared by TTD and discussed the need for working together to strengthen the spirit of Sanatana Dharma and operate Hindu Temples as Dharmic Centers to propagate the richness of our culture. The also opined that because of outside political interference at TTD, the planned Dharmacharya Sadassu was cancelled. They have passed a resolution that outside political interference should be stopped and the Hindu Temples must operate to propagate Sanatana Dharma.

This Sadassu was attended by about 30 Swamiji’s and Peethadhipathis including  Sri Swami Dayananda Saraswathi, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, Sri Vidya Narahari Swami of Pushpagiri Peetham, Sri Arjun Das of Hathiramji Peetham, Sri Kamala Kumar Swami, President of Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samithi, Sri Pejewar Swami of Udipi Muth, Sri Yogananda Saraswathi of Gopala Krishna Mutham, Sri Siva Swamy from Guntur and others attended. Sri Kamal Kumar Swamiji spoke about the activities of GHHF and HDPS in Andhra Pradesh. Sri Dayananda Saraswathi came and sat next to Sri Kamal Kumar Swami and expressed his appreciation of our efforts in Andhra Pradesh.  Sri Jayendra Saraswathi also recognized the efforts of HDPS and GHHF in the state. He also said that protection of Sanatana Dharma is the responsibility of each and every Hindu and they should work together.

            Let us all work together. Your involvement is crucial. We have to be freed from the clutches of government control. Let us free our Temples from the secular government. As Swami Vivekananda said:

                        Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached
