Tirupati.Murugan,DurgaTemple, Buddhist Monastery?

Whether Tamil is more ancient than Sanskrit,Caste is foisted on the people by the Brahmins, Babri Masjid was not built-in Ram's Birth place, Taj Mahal was not built by Shah Jahan,Aurangzeb is a pious Man and the list is endless in India.

One such controversy is that the Balaji Temple was originally Lord Murga's Temple and it was later converted into a Vishnu Temple.

Tirupati is Murugan Temple.

1.Most common proof is the fact that the ancient Grammar of Tamils, right from Tholkappiyam while defining the characteristics of land masses, assigns Hilly terrains as the Abode of Lord Muruga.9(Thinai Illakkanam).

Land Masses were divided into five categories by the Tamils.

Kurinji-Hilly Terrains,-Deity Lord Muruga

Mullai-Forest-Lord Vishnu.

Marutham- Agricultural Land-Indra

Neydal-Coastal Regions-Lord Varuna.

Palai-Desert-Kotravai(Durga)

I do not find any reason either from the Purnas or Tamil Literature to support the view that it was Muruga's Temple.

Tirupati Laddus For Hair TTD, Shameful!

Hair tonsuring is a vow undertaken by the Hindus for having had their wishes fulfilled by the Deities.

In South India, this is done at Tirupati and Palani(Lord Subramanya).

Hair is tonsured on completion of the first year of the child at the Family Deities’ temples,as practiced in the Family.

We know that Tirupati is the riches Temple in terms collections through offerings by the devotees.

To demean a sacred vow?

At this rate TTD may announce a prgramme for maximum for donations in the Hundi on and even offer prizes for those who take more vows !

Crass commercialism is reigning at Tirupati including the opening of the Temple at nights after Artha Jaama (after 10-30pm) on English New Year’s Day, in contravention of the Agama Sastra.
