Ex-Head Priest Of Tirupati Temple, Ramana Dikshitulu Speaks To Republic TV | EXCLUSIVE Interview 

why cant politicans take retirement at 60 Age ?

Need of the hour: Temples must be independent of Govt intervention & regulation, much like churches & madrassas

He is speaking English better than Ap Cm.

Wow this priest has excellent English and communication skills.

I am from Bihar and am a very ardent devotee of Balaji. Bhakts from Andhra and Telangana, plz do not let politics ransack our religious pilgrimages. Om namo venkateshwarayah

When politics starts to invade religion..faith...spirituality...its a huge danger.

He speaks better English than CBN.. HAHAHA

Om Namo Venkateshaya 🙏🌺🌻🌼

There is lot of politics going on in appointment of ttd board members

CBN don't mess with Balajee Temple in Tirupati else you will meet the same fate how YSR met. Balajee temple is most sacred place and Hindu Religion highest Pride. Lord Balajee will punish anyone who is doing these thinks.

CBI should take initiative

Dear Anchor, Please allow other person to talk. U r talking more than him. what kind of interview is this ?

God is watching be careful 🙏

Temple funds should be used to protect and spread of Dharma. During ancient times king protect temple but don't own them. No one can own temple , temple funds should be used to subsidize sacred books of Hinduism like Vedas , upnishad, shartras etc. It should can be used to build news temple in villages , and for charity work. But no money can go to government.

Seriously we should protect this temple....and prevent political intervention...Chandra babu naidu be aware...dont mess with balaji...

All temples should come under separate organisations. Money donations should be used to build schools, temples and preach Hinduism to next generations... All Hindus should wake up. No church or no mosques are under govt control. pls think that.

Very bad way of conducting interview, repeating same questions take more time than the interview. Instead of diving deep into the issue, wasted time on repeating same question several times

She wont listen to him, !! And he is very clear that cm is responsible and still she is asking is it cm !! She should ask the proofs and bring that to court.. 🙏

Bloody rascals don’t dare to play such games with Balaji, you will be finished, Ramana Dixitulu is right there is something fishy happening in the temple, he knew it, tats why they sacked him, Naidu will pay price for hurting the chief priest, get ready, now Balaji will sack you...

Hindu jaag jaao

Dangerous cm of India

Ye Chandra Babu has been very dishonest eversince he deceived Great Ramaswamy

Ysr lost his life after he tried to pollute the param paavan sapthagiri mountains by planning a cathedral on the holy site.. I pray for tirupathi tirumala Timmappa Venkateshwara's wrath on all those that have tried to steal from the Lord's sannidhanam. OM NAMO VENKATESHWARA

Edu kondala vada venkata ramana Govinda Govinda 🙏🙏🌺🌺

9:00 about CM

Guru ji ne sahi kaha temple Ka paisha only use for tample aur devotie ke shuwidha ke liye use Hona Chahiye naki government ke policy aur political agenda ke liye DO CBI ENQUIRY.

Respected Anchor madam,truth comes very fast. Cm hiden in his house.

TTD Board & Chairman post has become a political rehabilitation centres since independence. During Raja Sekhar Reddy era he appointed a notorious liquor zar as Chairman and he plundered and looted wealth and also some stories going round at that time that this liquor zar presented to Sonia Maino another Italian mafia leader an antique green gems studed chain gifted by Sri krishna Deva Rayalu to Lord Benlateswara. An RTI application reported in The Hindu news paper way back in 2006 under caption 'Wither Srikrishna Deva Raya offerings' way back in 2006 asking nubrr of times king visited the temple, offerings made by him and state of offerings and the RTI was answrred that king visited 7 times and a list of items as per the details mentioned on stone ingredient and non of them are available. Raja Sekar reddy tried to please vatican by telling that Balaji is lord of two hills onlu not 7 hills and tried to build churches on other 5 hills and lord punished with most grisly death than any rakshas he killed earlier. Br. Rajasekar reddu also gifted 5 acres of temple land to Br. Anil kumar his son in Law also appointed Karunakar Reddy a Christian as Board Chairman and he appointed more than 1500 Christians in temple administration and tried to destroy citadel of Hinduism and died a horrible death in a helicopter crash on a hill. Present CM naidu is also not lacking behind in appointing non believer christians the present Chairman is s converted christian though he denies and another board member and MLA k. Anita declared her self as christian. Let us all wait for the justice to be done by Lord Venkateswara and sure his count down stated for the sacrilege and atrocities of present CM Naidu!

0.37 she says , 'worlds richest temple'. It's not Tirupati , it is Swami Padmanabhan temple from Kerala state.

this big drama is playing only from the day this priest has met Amit Shah immediate next day after Karnataka elections.

Whey is she asking the same question again again...

how many of you recognized that this person looks like Universal Actor Kamal hassan.. :) :)

CBI enquiry will reveal all the details.

It is unfair to this politician Naidu. Lord Balaji will not leave you. Jai Venkateswara..

We will pray god Sri Ramana Dikshitulu .. Who are doing bad will definitely punished by God even if one is CM or PM .. My Lord Venkateswara swamy please save innocent people...

Why retirment for presit 65 years what about CNB AGE AND RETIRMENT IN POLICITICAN

Whatever u said is 100% right guruji. Now a days CBN420 looted everything

When did he came to know after dismissed of his chief preist what is the credibility of ramanadikshitul and also he allegedly after had meeting with Mr.amithsha

We supporting

OM NAMO VENKATESHAYA GOD SAVE MY CULTURE BY CULPRIT OF BAD INTENSION PEOPLES AND SAVE MY REGION MAY BLESS DEEKSHITULU GARU

They started again . since chandrababu naidu is not supporting bjp .so know they started this cheap tricks. Republic tv is supporter of bjp 😂

Mr CBN swalloed all Major temples Dimonds upon d Gali gopurams.

AP media doesn't able to see this big issue..

Balaji ko jai ho. Well done Arnab dear ♡

One of the cunning cm in whole india cbn

cm Naidu best in his administration so now point is ,he made desion to equal justice all priest he is not give opportunity to his sons he served long time as main priest ,he should not be lier as my concern, ,y now only digning all baseless allegation

Thala neenga vera lvl. I'm support with u

His life was so good,no corruption in TTD after he was out in TTD he says some comments on TTD and ap gov.u didn't see this type of corruption when ur working days in TTD tell ?

As Amit Shah is MP , how protocol will be eligible to him , He is not a Prime minister or else he is president of India .. so u went eagerly to meet Amit Shah .. protocol will be given as per constitutional bodies

Few years ago it was reported that they found treasures worth more of than a lakh if Crores at the Padmanabha Swamy temple at Thiruvananthapuram. Then, the Government came in, the auditors came in, the security came in, and the others. Now, no one talks about the treasure or what is done with it.

It is true

How much can BJP stoop low to defame CBN in AP . There were rumors that Dr.YSR tried to meddle with TTD and it didnt end up well. BJP would fare no different.

Stupid politics playing by Modi and Amit Shah.. Venkateshwara​ Swamy will teach you a lesson.. Don't play politics with using god.. Just remember YS RAJASHEKAR REDDY death..

Lot of money stolen by chandra babu naidu

You people are blaming him unnecessarily.he is innocent.lord venkateswara already gave a good answer to tdp leader.looks like he need another answer.think twice with whom are you playing

APART FROM TTD ISSUES, ONE THING I SHOULD ADMIRE IS THE FLUENCY AND TECHNICALITY OF ENGLISH TERMS USED BY HEAD PRIEST,,I THINK NAMO AND CBM SHOULD TAKE LESSONS OF HOW TO CONVERSE IN ENGLISH FROM THIS GENTLEMAN...OM NAMO VENKATESAYA

Hi Guys, BJP and all others will see the best reaction from Babu soon... Stay tune... Get ready with Ointments....

He didn’t raise this issue while he was on there.. now after retirement y he complained..? Ramana dikshitulu knows what is happening there..

TTD kept a retirement age for priests and from next day this head priest is talking to media. This does not deserve a debate in national media.

Yes yes BJP belongs to Hindu party. My dear friends, INDIA Belongs to Hindus. All xyz religions r neighbours & converted so,all d public has to support Hindus & BJP.

Chandra Babu naidu playing with God and His wealth.

Om namo venkateshaya❤

Last time Chandrababu Naidu tried to play with Lord Venkatesha, he got badly shaken with a naxal attack. He even warned the late CM, YSR to not play with the Lord ... Now, CBN has forgotten that and repeating the same mistakes

Lord venkatesha will teach a lesson to TDP in the form of Pawankalyan

If anyone wants to safeguard TTD please call TTD people before starting interview with this person as he spoiling TTD image and dont encourage it. Everyone knows that archaelogy dept tried to take over few temples in tirupathi and now as this did not work they are trying to use this kind of person who is lustful for money to grab hold of TTD.

Point On Sacking Ramana Diskshithulu : There is an Order by Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2012 (Congress Govt.) Priests has to retire by the age of 65 years. TTD made this order based upon Rule of 1202 of GMOS 611 of GO 1171 of State of Andhra Pradesh. Then the chief priests of TTD Shri Narasimha Dikshithulu, Ramachandra Dikshithulu, Bhaktavatsalam lost their jobs. They have approached High Court of AP and obtained stay order with a clause of not to pay any salary to them. Then they have requested TTD thru applications for the salaries, on humanity grounds TTD started paying their salaries.After this incident, Ramana Dikshithulu along with another 9 "mirasi priests" approached court for granting them the priest hood of tirumala.then court directed TTD to take them based upon the vacancies and eligibility. By that time 53 priests are in place out of 43 (Due to stay order they got 2012), so TTD informed there is no vacancies as of now. In 2015 Ramana Dikshithulu approached court on "contempt of court by TTD", the Government in 2015 (TDP) then given an order basing upon 1956 TTD Act(Mirasi) the minimum age for priests is 25 yrs & max is of 65 yrs. If people above 65 years retires it will create some vacancies to fill it up as per court orders. Loot Of TTD Properties allegations as per Ramana Dikshithulu: Justice Wadhwa committee, gave a clean chit to TTD in January 2012(Still Congress is in power), saying that all the jewels of Lord Venkateswara were safe in the temple lockers and as per the jewellery records maintained by TTD since 1952. Justice Wadhwa committee, also mentioned that Records are from 1952 onwards only, before 1952 there is no records of Donors, and no records of Jewlery donated by Krishna devaraya. Till 1987 (TDP is in power) the jewelery is in pocession of Chief Priests only.In 1987 they have handed over to TTD. Pink Diamond : The allegation of Pink Diamond of srivaru,which is sold out in Geneva. Now let me put the picture here, In 2001 Brhamostvam, on garuda seva day Srivaru decorated with Ruby Necklace donated by Mysore Maharaja in 1945.When the procession is going thru madaveedhi, some of the bhakths thrown chillar(coins) towards srivaru, which damaged one of the RUBY in the necklace, the priests identified it, obtained those damaged Ruby Particles and handed over to TTD (Pic enclosed). In 2009 Justice Jagannadha Rao committee validated and approved it, Government has issued GO also for the same. In 2010, Mr IVR Krishna Rao (who is ow in BJP/YSRCP), the EO of TTD at taht time given an detailed report to the Government. (In 2009 & 2010 Congress is in power). Coming to the loot point, In 2008, Congress CM Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy (Catholic Christian) appointed B.Karunakar Reddy (Catholic Christian) as the chairman of TTD, From that day onwards we are hearing lot's of gossips/rumours of missing jewelery and properties of Srivaru. What will happens if anyone touches/steal the property of Srivaru : No one has a courage to touch the properties of Srivaru for telugu speaking people, not even the mudupu (the one's they take oath to donate to srivaru). Some incidents happened or Rumours you guy's can decide. During Congress government, Christian Missionaries started distributing pamphlets in Tirumala. There was permission given for Muslim University in Tirupati. YSR Ex Chiefminister once annouced that only 2 hills comes under Tirumala Hills. ( Same slogan of Ramana Dikshithulu, sounds familiar) Thought of using the remaining 5 hills either for mining or for christian missionaries. YSR Signed this GO and died on the same day in Tirumala Hills region only due to helicopter crash. The first thing Rosaiah as CM did is to cancel that GO.

Thanks Republic TV

😂😂 dear BJP when you can't compete election , taking cheap direction to create some disturbance in AP . We are not northindians that you will fool us .. 😂

Oh my god.....that priest was retired recently because of his extreme arrogant behaviour and this rep tv is giving all he wants to get back to the government in his way. If he knew that the ornament was lost in 2001 when he was the head priest also then...why hasn’t he made it a news then or anytime after....did his memory come now

Most of the Andhra politicians looted TTD. What the head priest may also be true.

om namo venkateshaya💐💐💐

Mr. Ramana deekshithulu got exposed in the end. What's the mistake in using temple fund to develop another temple as far as both belong to same God? But deekshithulu wants every penny unde his control. Because only then he can loot the money which babu didn't allowed him to do.

Who the Hell is Amit Shah. Is he the Prime Minister of India or any Govt Dignitary. If he is president of a Party which Shastra tells the chief Priest to take him to the sacred places where not commoners are not allowed

When board is made a rule of retirement but hereditary rules are to be followed. Political interference in the form of TTD Board Chairman has to consult all the concerned and take decisions. Some decisions to demolish 1000 pillars structure is gross violation of rules

India is never a poor country n few indian PPL r poor n creating a atmosphere of poor so it's the High time to come out of it

Republic tv is modi keep

Mission destroy opposition by bjprepublictv starts How many crores were paid to u for the same?

When amit shah came to tirupati this temple politics takes place....and after bjp lost in Karnataka.. Don't play politics with temple amit shah..

what is being reported and the national level is totally different from what has really happened. the head priest was not dismissed on flimsy grounds and he too knows whose words he is parroting.

BJP k agent republic TV

Domb host, asking the same questions even following multiple affirmations by the priest.

He is a fake person foolish debate why don't he raise the point before why he is raising now why he given VIP treatment to Amit Shah he is just a MP in TTD rules there is no vip special treatment for MPS why should be given special treatment for Amit Shah

Never expected chandra babu to show his power and caste feeling even in the job to serve God. We may need more decades of Liberal and free thinking and public support for the true and honest priests of TTD to serve better to Lord balaji. A PhD in molecular biology Dr. Ramandikshitulu garu isn't lying for sure I believe . Having touched the feet of Lord balaji he would speak only truth and wise matters.

Aum Namo venkateshaya !!!

Only Balaji could save him self and pilgrims...Om Namo Venkatesaya...

Om Namo shri venkateshya

There is one point to be noticed here..Central govt passed orders to investigate sculpture in TTD for Archeology department.But TTD has resisted to give permission..Now, this story begins ..rest God Knows 🙏

what kind of a priest he is...if he knows all these over the years then y didn't he came out...now bcz of his forced retirement policy of 65 years...he formed personal grudge on the TDP GOVERNMENT and blaming the government and CM for everything...this governemnt has lost its power from 2004 to 2014....then y he is not blaming the previous government...the intentions are pretty clear...i.e to weak the strong government in the state..and the ANCHOR NOT EVEN ASKING THESE KIND OF QUESTIONS...AND SHE DELIBERATELY FRAMING THE QUESTIONS IN A ONE SIDED WAY......i think MEDIA SHOULD NEVER EVER TAKE ONE SIDE IN DEMOCRACY....ITS A VERY DANGEROUS THING IN THE DEMOCRACY......I THINK WE SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE THESE KIND OF MEDIA.....and i am writing not to take support of TDP government....but i think ....these kind of politics and media is growing day by day...which is not good for our country....and guys pls dont waste ur time and life in watching these kind of stuff....concentrate on your lifes...lets make the country stronger...by developing ourselves...on our careers...i pray to god that...pls bless my country and people...for not to be fall to these kind of traps and trash....I HOPE MEDIA AND POLITICS WILL BECOME HONEST VERY SOON.........JAI HIND

He is telling it was happening from long back but why he opened his mouth now ??? And republic TV isn't questioning about this ??

Those who theft god’s money, definitely his life comes to an end..Please responsible politicians be careful..

Treasure hunting , destroying temples, and stealing treasures is prevalant in andhrapradesh,.and karnataka.... Look at penukonda fort....... Look at the temples around..... Look at the fort and temples at...pavagada...... All dug up and destroyed by greedy treasure hunters... #shame .....

Before TDP they used to get 5 percentage of income of temple to their account after NTR became CM...he abolished it started giving salary to him and saved lot of temple money
