The race to be on the top even at spiritual and Vedic subjects is really obnoxious. కలౌ వేంకటనాయకః is what our scriptures say.Our political leaders seem to have become more powerful than our Vedic Knowledge. Our CM of Telangana says Yadadri shall be on par with TTD. The CM of AP says Ontimitta shall be developed on par with Bhadrachalam.

The race to be on the top even at spiritual and Vedic subjects is really obnoxious. కలౌ వేంకటనాయకః is what our scriptures say.Our political leaders seem to have become more powerful than our Vedic Knowledge. Our CM of Telangana says Yadadri shall be on par with TTD. The CM of AP says Ontimitta shall be developed on par with Bhadrachalam.

My dear CMs can you bring all Theerthaas in Tirumala to Yadadri and River Godavari to Ontimitta? There shall be competetion between the two Telugu States on matters that are linked to development but not on Spiritual Subjects that are decided long ago - time immemorial.


This competition seems to have reached a state that the piligrims from Telangana to Tirumala is reduced as they found their equivalent place in Yadadri. Similarly people in AP might not like to visit Bhadradri!! The increase in no of people visiting Yadadri and Bhadradri is a proof. What are we going to achieve through this mad competition? We deprive innocent seekers the punya of visiting the Temples that are designed to provide spiritual bliss.


We can not get the spiritual bliss in any other place than in Anandanilaya. If some one says no to this, it is their personal view that does not get the support of our Scriptures. If we believe in our Sanathana Dharma, we must follow what it says. In case the state of Uttara Pradesh is bifurcated, there is no parallel temple town that can be developed at par with Kashi! Kashi remains as Kashi so are other places.

There are eternal truths that can not be challenged, changed, equated. The wisdom of any seeker whether he is a political leader, CM, PM or President of a Nation lies only in following what the Shashtra says. Shasthra is nothing but a collective wisdom hidden in Itihaasas, Puranaas, Upanishads and other Vedic Literature. Being Indian is the first thing to be proud of and all our actions shall reflect India's ancient wisdom.

Telugu people can reap huge benefits when they respect each other in all aspects and leverage the uniqueness rather than blindly following the politicians. In fact at the ground level this respect exists without any pollution but the political will is trying hard to pollute this respect for each other for its vested interest. Sooner the people realise this better it is for both the states.
