Online petitions collected to be sent to Government
Hyderabad, March 10, 2006
The protest of devotees against the decision of the Endowments Department to take over Sri Balaji Temple has gone hi-tech. The number of signatures on the online campaign is increasing every minute with devotes from India and abroad responding to the online petition placed on the net through the website www. ProtectChilukurbalajitemple.com.
The website was launched by a devotee Kishore describes the unique feature of Chilkur temple as the only temple, which does not have a hundi or tickets for performing puja. The online campaign title 'Protect Chilkur Balaji Temple from Endowments Department' seems to have opened a new channel to devotees to pledge their support and endorse the online petition to be submitted to the President of India, Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Leader of Opposition, Lok Sabha, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and Chief Justice of High Court.
Chilkur Balaji Temple is a unique temple in the state of Andha Pradesh. The temple is probably the only temple where there are no hundis to collect donations from the devotees. The Temple, located few kilometers from Hyderabad, can be reached by Buses run by the local public transportation system. Busses start from various parts of the district of Ranga Reddy though many prefer to catch one at Mehadipatnam. Many devotees consider the temple not just a mere Hindu temple but as a pilgrimage spot. Devotees in large number visit the temple that the temple compound is almost always full of devotees who perform pradakshanas.
