The board has confirmed that Krishnamurthy ji will remain in his role through the duration of the Kumbabhishekham. We successfully secured this commitment after presenting the signed petition to management. I will monitor the transition process to ensure this agreement is honored.

Dear HCC Management,
We recently learnt that our priest Krishnamurthy ji has tendered his resignation and is planning to leave the temple in January. It seemed very strange that a priest who has loyally served the temple for 12 years is planning to leave a few months before the Kumbabhishekham of the new temple building.
On further inquiry, we found out that the priest is quite unhappy with several things that have happened with him in the past two to three months. We do not want to get into the details of his unhappiness (he did not share the details), but suffice it to say that there is a large group of devotees who like Krishnamurthi ji and the service he has rendered to the temple thus far. We would like him to continue his service to the temple at least until the new temple building's Kumbabhishekham is completed.
We strongly feel that this is the right thing to do not only for Krishnamurthy ji but also for the temple. We want the new temple to have its Kumbabhishekham with the blessings of the priest (Krishnamurthy ji) who has served the temple through its growth from its humble beginnings to its current state. We feel that we need his presence, ensure his happiness and his blessings when the temple is consecrated.
So,we respectfully request you to ensure that Krishnamurthy ji stays as a priest until the Kumbabhishekham of the new temple is completed.
Thanks for your kind consideration of this matter.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows us to formally request a meeting with the board of directors. I am drafting a letter now to present these concerns as a collective request for mediation before the upcoming Kumbabhishekham.

Krishanmurthy ji has been an image if an ideal elder person in the family. He has been for our new house warming as well as thithi for my father. We would like him to continue with HCC and hope his concerns gets addressed in the right platform.
Krishnamurthi is a well versed priest in Hindu temple rituals and recitation of Mantras. He was our Middletown temple priest when I was President there in 2010-2011. Please keep him until Kumbabhishekam at least.
We want him to be retained . I haven’t seen more knowledgeable and sincere person as priest . It will be shame if the temple can’t retain him .
Please retain Krishnamurthy ji as HCC temple priest and try to remove the causes of his unhappiness, if possible. The temple is our collective identity and a priest represents religious and spiritual leadership of this identity. Thank you.
Krishna Murrhy Ji did service to temple and devotees many, many years whole heartedly with no expectations . It is our duty to hold Krishna Murrhy Ji until new temple inauguration in summer and it also respects devotees requests
We all sometimes have our differences but that didn’t mean we start doing wrong to other. Pt. Krishnamurthy Ji has served the temple well and deserves to be part of it. You already have lost a very good North Indian priest and now this - don’t make the same mistake again. Good loving and dedicated priests and devotees are hard to find and keep.
please retain KrishnaMurthy ji.

Pt. Krishnamurthy Ji has served the temple extremely well and deserves to be part of it. You already have lost a very good North Indian priest and now this - don’t make the same mistake again. Good, loving, and dedicated priests and devotees are hard to find and keep.
