Namaskaram. At least some of you might have learnt recently that animal fat (beef) and fish fat have been used in Tirumala in the ghee used to make the Tirupati Laddu - https://news.tirumala.org/stern-action-against-suppliers-on-low-quality-ghee/

With a heavy heart, I pray humbly to every individual reading this petition. The situation in Tirumala, the dilution of our prayers, the adulteration of maha prasadam, the neglect of Hindu Dharma, the irreverence towards Lord Balaji cannot be ignored any further.

Alongside the hundreds of scared dharmic kshetras in Bharat, Sri Kasi Viswanatha in Varanasi and Sri Venkateswara in Tirumala have a precious role to play in keeping our society rooted to our rich traditions, heritage, and culture.

The failure in Tirumala witnessed through the continued neglect of dharma, and irreverent acts of corruption are not only a failure of the administration. It is a failure of our community to express our devotion with a pure heart and sincere commitment.

I request your wholehearted and prayerful support to this petition. Once we have adequate people sign this petition, I shall personally submit the petition to the government of Andhra Pradesh and the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to initiate a reverent overhaul of the TTD and its processes. We have to stop treating matters related to the TTD as if it were an administrative body, and begin making long term changes to its constitution and procedures. It is a religious institution, a custodian of the sentiments of millions of devout Hindu piligrims.

The petition is a small effort to reclaim our heritage and cleanse our sinful record of apathy and neglect. Kindly join this journey for demanding remarkable peity with every small detail related to Tirumala, Sri Venkateswara Swamy.

I have been staring at my phone for hours reading what you all are writing about the state of the temple and the absolute heartbreak feels heavier than I thought it would. Dealing with the bureaucracy is slow and frustrating but talking to people who actually care about the sanctity of the laddu makes me feel like this isnt some giant impossible wall we are hitting. Getting ready to compile these thoughts and send them off because we really cannot sit still while everything just continues in the same way.

I really thought this might just fade away but the sheer weight of people feeling this deep hurt in their own hearts is overwhelming and honestly it tells me we are finally waking up to the gravity of what is happening in Tirumala. It is about time we stopped acting like this is just some bureaucratic mess when it is really a wound to our faith that needs real healing and not just more empty talk from officials.

I strongly condemn the heinous act of serious intrusion into very strong religious sentiments of native citizens of Bharat !

We Hindu community have become more career oriented and getting habitual to high comfort of living. *For us community development or safeguarding traditions and upholding temples or religious values has skipped into 3rd or 4th priority* THIS SHOULD CHANGE & WE SHOULD MAKE CULPRITS MORE ANSWERABLE.

Mandirs should be exempt from governments control. Only a HINDU should head the institution. Priests should be given salary as provided to maulvis. Materials should be procured certified vendors ONLY
