To-day's Tamil daily 'Dina-malar' has blown the whistle on the imperilment of 
the famous 'tolai-villi-manGalam divya-dESams' popularly known as the 
'iraTTai-t-tiruppati' of Lords Sri Aravinda-lochana and Sri Devar-piran.

Unrestrained commercial sand-quarrying is going on in the sacred river 
tAmra-parNee near this spot, as nearly everywhere in Tamil Nadu, especially in 
river kAvEri. 

To-day's report is that the quarrying is permitted for a depth of one metre 
only, whereas the rapacious diggers have been reaching down to six metres. This 
would weaken the foundations of the twin divya-dESam shrines.

Who cares ?

The rabid 'Saiva pUjAri' at the tiru-vEnkaTam-uDaiyAn sub-shrine (very much 
under the control of the Great Temple of Sriranganatha) inside of the famous 
south Raja-gopuram at Srirangam had very brazenly made up the Lord as 
'ardha-nAreesvara', this on the day of the 'padineTTAm perukku' (August 2), 
even as namperumAL passed that way to reach the ammA-maNDapam. 

Unspeakable money-fed crimes are being sponsored and committed in Tirumalai, 
and Tiru-k-kurun-kuDi right now, by important entrepreneurs collaborating with 
media-hyped so-called 'sannyasi-s' (who are proven athletes).

Lord !

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,
T.S. Sundara Rajan
at Srirangam.
