Pages referring to Jesus Christ & Christianity found in e-books category onto TTD's official website
Reportedly Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) witnessed yet another fresh row this week, as three pages referring to Jesus Christ and christianity were found in a book uploaded under the ‘e-books’ category onto its official website. Meanwhile the TTD manages affairs of the Lord Venkateswara temple, atop Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh.
Furthermore according to reports, the book called ‘Bhakti Geethamrutha Lahari’, written by Monda chinna Seetaramayya, a retired Telugu lecturer from Rajahmundry, was published under a grant given by the TTD for religious books. Even though pages 182, 183 and 184 were supposed to be on Sai Baba, according to the book's index, the chapter actually spoke about Jesus Christ. A S Santosh, President of Legal Rights Protection Forum filed a complaint to the TTD and other government officials.
Moreover the book published years ago was uploaded on the website in 2015, but this seems to have been discovered only now. Perhaps TTD Executive Officer Anil Kumar Singhal said that the authorities would launch an investigation and make sure that the content of each book is thoroughly verified before it is uploaded on the website and the links to various books were disabled on the website.
