Former chief priest of Ramana Deekshutulu is putting his stamp on many aspects in TTD ever since he took over as the Agama Advisor recently. Now, the Agama Committee under his leadership submitted a report on the existing Tirumala Srivari Arjita Seva traditions. They say that Vasanthotsavams, Kalasabhishekam and Vishesha Puja need to be removed in order to protect the ‘Bimbham’ which is 600 years old.
The Deekshitulu team says that if these Sevas are held daily, the age-old Bimbham will be worn out quickly. Then it will be lost forever. So, Vasanthotsavams and Sahasra Kalasabhishekam can be held once a year. But, it is not easy to stop these sevas which are very popular among the devotees. Any wrong decision will hurt sentiments. Following this, the TTD officials are in a big dilemma what decision to make.
Already, lot of political attention is there on TTD these days. The BJP and the Hindu organisations are making all sorts of allegations against the YCP government regarding temples. It is not going to be an easy decision for TTD at a time when Ramana Deekshitulu is himself known as a pro-YCP controversial priest.
