I am forwarding a mail sent by
Srimahavishnu Vinjamuri to TTD regarding the 2007 Telugu panchangam realeased by TTD. TTD seems to be bent upon hurting the sentiments of Vaishnava community by associating "Maha Lakshmi" with the elephant headed deity. Moreover, in this panchagam, TTD has relgated "Lord Srinivasa" to second position by putting some cooked up mantra ""mahalakshmi ganapataye namah"" at the begining of their official telugu panchagam, which is then followed by the "Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwarabhyam Namaha". The writer of the panchagam, who is TTD asthana siddhanthi, by name "Thangirala Prabhakara Poornaiah", has not respected the protocol to be followed at the Tirumala temple(which is a vaishnavaite temple) and has incorporated his own fancy matrams in the begining of the panchagam. Please go through the mail given below. Please do send a
protest mail to
executiveofficer_ttd@xxxxxxxxxxx,
eottd@xxxxxxxxx. One can also put a comment through the following link to TTD
http://www.ttdsevaonline.com/queries.aspx). Also, do put a mail to any other official TTD maild ids which you are aware of. I would also request the revered members of srirangasri list to inform our SriVaishnava Acharyas regarding this issue, so that such dubious activities of the TTD can stopped.
