Tirupati - Mr. Commercial
The bits and pieces of Tirupati are commanded and controlled by TTD personnel. The actions & reactions that happen in Tirupati belong to them. These people do this with the only belief that the eternal power Mr. Venkatachalapathy won’t step in anytime.

Does he aware of the recent commercial coloring of this divine land.

There are not many hoardings hanging around the city. No advertising bhagvans, at least. Around the Sannadhi Street, you could see the attractive hoarding, which is much larger than others (by TTD people, of course). It has the professional touch of lighting, coloring and designs. It consist none other than the list for the day to day urchavams, special darshans with the PRICE. There are many people starring at this hoarding. They could be planning for their turn to pick one of them and pay their etc. All popularized temples, follow these methods. An anaconda line for payless darshans and short & luxurious queue for paid darshans. Tirupati, not an exception being the second largest in the world. Only GOD can step in to regulate.

Business. The business always evolves and ripples around the core component. Here the core component is again Mr. Venkatachalapathy. You could see the same content of people in shopping complex and inside the temple. This may not be wrong, with business owners and devotees. I feel, it is more of commercialization for this divine land.

Corruption. Many of the entrants into Tirupati would have faced. It starts from the booking, darshan and wherever people rush in. It happens just near the Mulasthanam too.

brammam okatte, para brammam okatte - Sri Annamayya. For whatever reason he has scripted is now taking place. Good to know the participation of money has thrown out all this. The only PLUS, I could see.

Mr. Venkatachalapathy, if you aware of the above, do you have any ideas to eradicate any of these?
