00:00This is another new thing.
00:05See, the quality of prasad is always quite superior and people,
00:10even if you get a small bite also, it's like a maha prasad to everybody. That's what we all know.
00:17It was done with a very great reverence.
00:20And especially the materials will be chosen for prasad is sourced from very, very trusted groups
00:26and trusted companies and which had been given by the last few decades.
00:32You want to get this particular material, grains, everything is sourced out in a very well-structured manner
00:39and no one has dared to violate that part and no one has dared to change.
00:44Even if they wanted to change it, then no one did.
00:48Imagine you need per month, per day, you need 15,000 kgs of ghee is needed to make prasad.
00:57These guys say, their claim is, why did we change the vendors?
01:02It is thousand rupees plus something and we have changed it.
01:06We have brought it down to, and they said we have to, the supply had given us around 360 to 400.
01:15The making of ghee itself is quite high, high price.
01:21So we understand how could they source such a cheap ghee.
01:26And later after a few months, when we are all wondering, maybe, I don't know, we don't know how could they achieve it.
01:34So we don't know they had sourced out from somewhere from Delhi, some other, I mean,
01:40somewhere in UP, I mean, Delhi area, part of Delhi.
01:46Maybe we don't know, maybe someone is there, maybe they said, we don't know.
01:50But they said people were saying, complaining regularly, smelling of something which is not the usual prasad.
01:55A lot of times people used to come to me and they said, see what's happening.
01:59Maybe you have to put prasad, I mean, some kind of lab testing.
02:03There are many things, such things, I think, I thought no one would be dare to violate, play with this kind of sentiment.
02:09I thought, never thought, thought of it, but we didn't give a, I was looking at other things in TTD.
02:16But when this particular issue came, when the new EVO came, we looked at it, I said we want to revive the TTD,
02:25I mean, whatever had been TTD, a lot of mismanagement had been done,
02:31misappropriation of funds had been done, they started a thing called Srivani Trust.
02:36And they don't know what these guys had done under the, I think, TTD chairman was Mr. Subba Reddy Garu
02:44and EVO was Mr. Dharma Reddy. So we had been consistently raising our concerns regarding the quality of prasad
02:52and regarding the functioning of TTD itself. And of course, other dharmic issues.
02:58But these guys, when we took the, when we formed the government, and I said we want to revive,
03:04we want to go back to, and we sent samples and we realized that this animal fat, fish oil, and of course,
03:13you know, beef fat and pig fat, fish oil, elements of both these things are there, all these three.
03:25And we are quite hurt, quite in a state of shock. And people have taken it for granted to play that kind of games.
03:36Here it is when people have no commitment and no value and no respect for the sanctity of a temple
03:44and if they take charge, this is what exactly happens. In the name of politicking, they did, went for some
03:51substandard things. And this one, that's the result of it. And on the top of it, there was a lot of,
03:58it's not just about prasad today, maybe there were a lot of liquors were supplied, non-vegetarian was supplied,
04:04and people were having parties there. And someone raises their voice, it will be with their muscle power,
04:11they used to keep them down. And all these things came out. I think there was a high time,
04:16that's the reason today morning I tweeted, I think it's a high time that everyone should come together.
04:22It's not about one prasad today. It's definitely shocking, it's hurt. I think we have to, because when governments
04:31and boards are not acting well, there should be some other monitoring mechanism in India, in Bharat.
04:37It should be Sanatana Dharma Parirakshana Board is the order of the day. It is very essential.
04:44That's what I feel. Because any kind of desecration happens to idols.
04:51The sanctity of the temple has not been maintained, like TTT Prasad. And whatever the Agama Sastra says,
04:58the practices, the devotional practices, the method you pray, when they are not being practiced,
05:05I think a lot of mere political employments come into the picture. So there should be, I feel,
05:10the reason why I had proposed for Sanatana Dharma Parirakshana Board is essential.
05:16The reason was, when you leave it to the political groups, there is more, such incidents are likely to happen
05:26on a regular basis, which to thwart it and to find a permanent solution or to find a permanent method to mitigate,
05:34I think Sanatana Dharma Parirakshana Board, I think we should constitute.
05:41Maybe I will speak to the Cabinet and Honorable C.M. also. I think I am personally, I think I will take it forward,
05:50this particular concept. And if you look at it, a lot of revolutionary concepts came under the leadership of Sri Sree B.N. Garu.
06:00And in the same manner, I think we will constitute something like Sanatana Dharma Parirakshana Board is essential.
06:08It is the order of the day and I will take it up in the next meeting, in Cabinet meeting with my colleagues and Honorable C.M.
