Improve Light at Lord's Presence

Due to Maha Laghu Darshan wherein devotees have to view Lord from Jaya & Vijaya idols, vision of Lord is so poor that makes difficult to view Lord not only for old and visually poor people but to normal devotees too as the lighting there insufficient. Devotees suggested to improve the lighting and even suggested to increase the number of Akhanda Deepams there.

Responding to this suggestion, EO advised Deputy EO, Temple to take necessary steps.


The following are the other subjects dealt during call to EO programme.

Subscribed to Saptagiri, but not getting the magazine regularly. Phoned two to three times, but no response.
Satyanarayana, Hyderabad

EO:Collected the address from caller and assured him that magazine will be posted on the same day.


Ascertaining available days for paid sevas of Lord is rather a difficult task for devotees. It would be useful, if the availability dates are published in Saptagiri Monthly
Sujata, Kakinada

EO:Necessary steps will be taken.


If accommodation is allotted on priority basis to those having Arjitam Sewa tickets, it would be helpful. It would be appropriate to allot accommodation to Paid Ticket holders rather than to other people
Mannayya, Sri Kalahasti

EO: It is not possible to provide accommodation to all during peak and rush period. In order to ease out the difficulties faced by devotees for paid accommodation we trying to get the rooms vacated compulsorily after 48 hours of occupation. Dormitories with lockers, lavatory facilities are proposed and this will ease out the problem we believe.


Due to non performance of Maha Samprokshana after construction of Balalayam in 2004 at Venugopalaswamy Temple at karveti nagaram, Darshan of main deity could not be possible. When the Maha Samprokshana will take place?
Mohan Kumar, Karveti Nagaram
Sumalata, Puttor

EO: We will see to complete the engineering works by 22nd and Maha Samprokshana may be held any day between 25th and 30th.


Balamandir at old Maternity Hospital Road for orphan children is very good. After observing the good service to children there, I would like to suggest you to arrange many more such Bala Mandirs.
Venkateswarlu, Tirupati

EO: Staff of Balamandir are discharging their duties very nicely. There lies a difference between Hopes & Aspirations and its implementation. We have to depend more dedicated staff to run more Bala Mandirs. In the present crunch of Human Resources it would be difficult to implement the same. However, the suggestion will be discussed during Board meeting and take appropriate decision.


Arya Vysya Sangham felicitate the vysya couples who have completed 50 years of their marriage on May 14th. TTD should arrange free Darshan, Accommodation and Food to them.
Venkata Ratnam, Veta Palyam

EO: It is possible to arrange Cellar Darshan to felicitated couples on payment of Rs.100/ each. But would it be appropriate even for you too to ask free food, kindly think once.


Is jobs in TTD reserved for SC of STs only? Not for BCs?
Srinivas, Tirupati

EO: We are filling up the back log vacancies as per existing rules and regulations. If Government issues orders to post BCs also we will fulfill our responsibility. We have no role in it.


No Milk and Payasam are given to us for Tiruppavadai Seva on Thursday. There is discrimination in offering Harati too.
Narasimhulu, Chennai

EO: Milk and Payasam are given to those pilgrims who take part in Sahasra Kalasa Abhishekam on Wednesdays only. Jilebi and Muruku etc will be given for Tiruppavadai. If Milk and Payasam are given on Thursdays, it is in Q lines only and not for Tiruppavadai pilgrims. We will take necessary steps against discrimination in Harati.


Why don't you put Telugu Names to Sevas such as Tirumanjanam, Tiruppavadai etc, whose meanings are not known to many.
Krishna Moorty, Tirupati

EO: Ours is Dravida Tradition. Telugu, Tamil, Kannada there are all Dravidian Languages. Vaishnava Tradition is continuing in Tirumala Temple since the days of Ramanujacharya. Tirupati itself is a Dravidian word. Instead of leaving them for non knowing their meanings, come, lets us learn them. Instead of changing the words, we will take steps to enlighten their meanings.


Raghuram, Tirupati
Bath Rooms at Rs. 100/ Cellar Darshan Q are bad
EO: Instructions issued to Sanitation staff

No CC Cameras in Compartment No 17 in 2nd Q Complex, resulting in possible irregularities.
EO: Instructed Vigilance Department to take immediate action.

A tree is obstructing to view Ananda Nilayam while passing from Vykuntam Q Complex to Lord's Temple.
EO: Instructed Engineering Department to remove the tree immediately.

I like to sing Annamacharya Songs. I have 60, 70 Bhajan Groups working under me. How can we take part in Metla Utsavam during Annamacharya birth anniversary?
Rani, Bapatla

EO:You can take part in Metla Utsavam in May. Write a letter to Medasani Mohan, Director, Annamacharya Project for joining in Annamacharya Saranagati Mandali. I would also put a word to him on your behalf.


Darshan for those participated in Metla Utsavam took place after midnight. It has created trouble.
Sailaja, Tirupati

EO: Last tike Metla Utsavam started at 8.30. This year we will start it at 7 in the morning itself to avoid difficulties.


Money is collected for garlands for performers of Harikatha at Ramachandra Pushkarini. Kindly check it.
Kodandapani, Tirupati

EO: Immediate steps will be taken.
