One of the possibly worst blasphemous crimes in Indian history was committed in Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthana temples. The temple prasadham Tirupathi Laddoo which is GI tagged for its unique recipe, allegedly is made with fish oil/beef tallow. The use of low grade ghee for ingredient is to blame. The news has vexed millions of devout Hindus who are vegetarian from birth. Even meat eating Hindus do not touch beef. The non vegetarian Hindus also don’t visit temples on consuming meat. Temple prasad and house menu on auspicious days of the week like friday and saturday and also for festive occasions such as family weddings, Diwali, Pongal, special pujas and even for death anniversaries etc., see all Hindus turning vegetarian. Food is an extremely sensitive issue for Hindus. I don’t even eat foreign chocolates because they contain gelatin. Eat the vegetarian cheese. And avoid croissants because they are brushed with egg white. Plane food is another complex problem for us vegetarians. As veganism grains grounds around the world, we are able to breathe a little easier these days. We get at least the garden salad wherever we go. Otherwise, world is a very tough place for vegetarians to survive outside India which is an overwhelmingly vegetarian country.
So imagine having the temple prasad contaminated with fish oil/beef fat. This may be a possibility because the laddoo making is outsourced by the temple. Unscrupulous elements could be making a backdoor entry here to spoil things for Hindus. Already non Hindus are employed in TTD temples which goes against Dharma. Will churches and mosques ever employ Hindus to keep accounts and manage their affairs. Rajashekar Reddy and now his son Jagan Reddy are known for taking missionary activities to the nook and corner of Andhra Pradesh. Rajashekhar Reddy’s copter crashed right on Nallamala hills when he was still the CM. Crypto christians using Hindu names is very common crime in India : just like how Seetharam Yechuri the communist who passed away recently hoodwinking the masses of this country got his christian burial.
There are no written laws in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). There needn’t be one. We Hindus adhere to strict code of conduct when it comes to our faith and temples. Women with menses do not enter the temples for 5 days and even our Pujas at home remain closed at this time. Birth/death in the family bars us from having puja at home or going to temples for fixed no. of days. We don’t go to temples without showering (cleansing). Even meat eating Hindus do not visit temples after consuming meat.
Lab tests reveal the presence of animal fat in the temple prasad Laddoos. Tirumala temple is world famous for the laddoos alone apart from being the world’s third richest after Shri Padmanabha temple, Thirvananthapuram (Kerala, India) and Vatican.
We have none to blame in this case, not even the Pakistanis. But we have in our midst our own brown christian and muslim agents working against the native Hindus and against Indian interests = who will do whatever it takes to convert this country into one more wretched Latin American missionary mafia country or pariah of the Arabs playing stooge to the middle eastern countries. Being Hindu by character and DENYING CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM negating them totally is India’s biggest problem which is now the world concern.
As for Hindus, it is time we too as a community and culture move away from Sarguna way of worship to Nirguna where we don’t have to involve ourselves with matters not concerning our inherent faith. Hindu Dharma is getting increasingly steeped in rituals with the substance getting lost in the process. The discipline both physical and mental and the decorum are for a higher purpose. Every single practising Hindu must remember this ultimate truth. We are seekers who are here with temporary costumes: both memory (birth life and relations) and body being the set of clothes we don on for one of our earthly sojourns. Our Atman alone is ours to take back with us with the essence of this lifetime added to us in the form of Karma. We are going to shed our memory and the body both. We are going to get a fresh pair of clothes in our next birth by way of a new memory and new body. So let us leave trivial matters to where they belong. Of course the laddoo matter is very sensitive. Its outrageous that someone could willingly inflict such a psychological damage on a massive population. The perpetrators of such a heinous crime must not go unpunished. In fact we need to treat this criminal offence as war on India. Yet it is wise to leave things at that and move on. May the custodians of law take up the matter. Everything else is immaterial, only the saaraansh of our bhakthi/faith counts. The more we focus on superficial matters, the more we shall lose track of our original goal and purpose in life. Our journey must not get stuck at a point with matters such as this laddoo for instance. These are hurdles in our path, nothing more. If Dharma has to die, then the world will come to a complete standstill. Dharma more than anything, is the much needed balance. With that self assurance, don’t look back but move up your spiritual life.
