Gone are the days when outsiders, invaders etc attacked our vedic
culture and tried to ruin our history. Countless temples were
plundered
and countless historic evidences were destroyed. The new trend is
that,
people - part of our culture do that. It is so strange, but recent
happenings at Tirumala makes this fact clear! The destruction of age-
old
1000 pillar temple recently at Tirumala is a classic example of this.
Tirumala is part an integral part of our culture and existence. It
has a
great history and cultural importance attached to it. In 11th
century,
when attempts were made to cast the Lord Venkateswara as some other
deity, Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja proved that it is in fact the Lord
Vishnu
in the form of Lord Venkateswara. He regularized the worship and
other
temple related activities by establishing Jeeyar Mutt and appointing
qualified priests and other staff. Every inch of that place has so
much
to say about our tradition and culture. In 14th century again Sri
Manavalamamuni renovated the temple. The temple as we see today is
the
result of incredible efforts put forth by our acharyas.
What is happening to that now?
The 1000 pillared mandapam where the kalyanam of Lord Venkateswara
used
to happen is now destructed few days back! The reason that was cited
was
that the administration there want to increase the security of the
temple and to increase the facilities for the visitors. How
justified is
this? Not just that! The thiru veedhi (maada veedhi) where Lord was
supposed to go around during special occasion (like Brahmotsavam) -
was
destroyed.
Popular figures who do not know the basics of paancharathram or
Vaikhanasa agama are making big comments and making decisions on the
functionality and the maintenance of the temple. What a pitiable
state!
Should we keep watching it silently??
When a small unused mosque was destroyed at ayodhya, the entire
nation
felt for it. How about the destruction of one of the most sacred
temples
of our culture by the people who are not outsiders?
Let us do anything that would help to stop this and preserve the
sanctity and the history of our culture.
