Tirupati Pilgrims Return Without Darshan

TIRUMALA, INDIA, January 18, 2003: Thousands of pilgrims returned home
recently without darshan of Lord Venkateswara, because the waiting time
for the Sudarshan tickets exceeded 50 hours. Although the
Tirumala-Tirupathi Devasthanams had geared to meet the rush of Ayyappa
devotees, the arrangements fell into disarray. Angry devotees raised
slogans against the TTD management and the Andhra Pradesh Chief
Minister. Thousands of pilgrims, particularly those who had bought the
special tickets, were upset at the long waiting hours and wanted to
collect the laddus provided free with the tickets.

In Kaliyuga, this 50hr wait is not even the process.
What is the use of visiting Tirupati, then returning to never do hari-kIrtan or hari-kathA at home?
Solewear at best.
