Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 02:32:55 -0700 (PDT)Srimahavishnu Vinjamuri <vsmvishnuRequest for withdrawal of TTD panchangamexecutiveofficer_ttd Dear sir, I was shocked to see the Telugu panchangam of TTD at your website www.tirumala.org, which starts with "mahalakshmi ganapataye nama:". According to the general Hindu belief, mahalakshmi is the wife of Lord Srimannarayana and NOT ganesha. Hence writing "mahalakshmi ganapataye namah" at the beginning of the your calendar offends the sentiments of several Hindus in general and Vaishnavas in particular. So my appeal to you is to withdraw the panchangam immediately. Thanks and regards V. Srimahavishnu The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Search Marketing.

Even according to non-Vaishnava schools of thought, Lakshmi is a form of the universal mother Parvati. Hence identifying lakshmi with Ganapati is unethical and abusive by any yardstick. The way TTD have printed it is rather ridiculous and humiliating. They have written in sequence " Sriyai namah, Sri mahalakshmi ganapataye namah, Sri lakshmi Venkateswarabhyam namah " , thus questioning the supremacy of sarvEsvara Lord Srivenkateswara and anayArha Seshtavam or exclusive belonging of Mother Lakshmi to Srimannarayana. This is how the official Thirumala temple panchangam which enlists various festivals and thirunakshatrams is published, pooh-poohin at the very fundamental traditions that are followed in the temple. adiyen ramanuja dasan Vishnu , Mohan <mohan0128@> wrote: > > The concept of " Lakshmi Ganapathy " has become popular of late, with > virtually no justification at all within Vedic thought.
