Dear Sriman Mohan,

Only vested interests are trying to make it popular.

Even according to non-Vaishnava schools of thought, Lakshmi is a 
form of the universal mother Parvati. Hence identifying lakshmi with 
Ganapati is unethical and abusive by any yardstick. 

The way TTD have printed it is rather ridiculous and humiliating. 
They have written in sequence "Sriyai namah, Sri mahalakshmi 
ganapataye namah, Sri lakshmi Venkateswarabhyam namah", thus 
questioning the supremacy of sarvEsvara Lord Srivenkateswara and 
anayArha Seshtavam or exclusive belonging of Mother Lakshmi to 
Srimannarayana.

This is how the official Thirumala temple panchangam which enlists 
various festivals and thirunakshatrams is published, pooh-poohin at 
the very fundamental traditions that are followed in the temple.
