Anjanadri is Adobe to Anjaneya







The pontiff of Kurtalam Siddheswara Peetham Sri Sri Sri Siddheswarananda Bharati Mahaswami affirmed that the Valmiki Ramayana had clearly mentioned Anjanadri of Tirumala as the birthplace of Sri Anjaneya Swamy.

 

He was addressing a two day international Webinar hosted jointly by the Sri Venkateswara Higher Vedic Studies Institute of TTD and National Sanskrit University which commenced on Friday in Tirupati.

 

Participating in the video conference Sri Bharati Mahaswami said the Brahmanda Puranam also affirmed the fact in addition to other Puranas which hail Anjanadri as the birthplace of Sri Anjaneya.

 

He said the Kishkinda theory lacked puranic and traditional support materials and persons who had no knowledge of Puranas were unfit to talk and make comments on the holy concept.

 

In his presidential address the TTD EO Dr KS Jawahar Reddy said soon after he took charge at Tirumala, he received several e-mails about Anjaneya Swamy birthplace and when he posed them to pundits and learned persons they too concurred and provided puranic evidences.

 

He said TTD set up a pundit Parishad in December 2020 for comprehensive research on Puranas, history, and geographic and Archaeological data and affirm Anjanadri as the birthplace of Hanuman.

 

The pundit Parishad also visited locations in Jharkhand, Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra wherever locals claimed as the birthplace of Hanuman. Finally on the auspicious day of Sri Ramanavami day on April 21 this year, TTD published a booklet with all authoritative evidences gathered by the pundits Parishad. The report was kept open for public debate inviting suggestions, objections etc.

 

TTD also organised a discussion meeting with a few but their unparliamentarily approach and the language they used was condemnable. TTD is ready to conduct another round of debate, if necessary to remove misconceptions etc.

 

Speaking on the occasion Dean of Mahindra University Law college Dr Madabushi Sridhar said there was enough proof of Anjanadri as Hanuman birthplace including an Oxford university publication of 2007 - "Hanuman’s Came". The reference to Anjanadri has been there decades ahead of the TTD study, he added.

 

Acharya V Muralidhar Sharma, the Chairman of TTD pundits Parishad and the Vice-Chancellor of National Sanskrit University said the webinar was being conducted to spread data on the findings of TTD Pundits Parishad which will soon be brought out in form of a book. He said without Puranas the concept of Indianism will be blank.

 

Jeeva director Acharya Samudrala Ranga Ramanuja Charyulu said everyone should read and digest the content of Puranas, Venkatachala Mahatyam, Venkatachala Itihasamala etc. for more information on Anjaneya birthplace.

 

Among others Pune Deccan College Project Director Acharya Vempati Kutumba Rao, ASI retired Director Dr K Muniratnam, Acharya Shankar Narayana, Ex-Deputy Director of Archaeology and Museum, Sri Jadhav Vijay Kumar, A Prasanna Kumar of Center for policy studies, E Singara Charyulu; History Researchers Sri Gopikrishna also spoke in the marathon webinar.

ZEE5 today kickstarted the campaign to entertain the Telugu audience ever more than before. On the occasion, the guests also spoke about ZEE5's free vaccination drive, Sankalpam.

ZEE5 seeks to not only entertain the audience but also desires to see them in good health. In keeping with its social outlook, it has come up with Sankalpam to help the people of Hyderabad tide over the pandemic. The free vaccination drive is a 10-day affair that began today (July 30). And the first day saw a huge response. The drive will conclude on August 8.

Satyadev said, "I entered the OTT world with 'Gods Of Dharmapuri'. It turned out to be a trending show on ZEE5. My film '47 Days', too, was released on ZEE5. It's a great thing that they have taken up the Sankalpam drive. We are all waiting for cinema halls to run like before. If people have to overcome the fear of the pandemic, they have to get vaccinated. ZEE5 is rightly giving them access to vaccines for free. 'Thimmarusu', my film, is receiving a great response in theatres. Theatres will function fully once the vaccination percolates. Coming to ATM, the name is quite appealing. ZEE5 is full of rich content."

ZEE5 Chief Business Officer Manish Kalra said, "Besides giving the best content in different languages as per the viewers' tastes, we are also socially conscious. We have undertaken this free vaccination drive and it's getting a great response. As a responsible organization, we have taken up this drive. ZEE5 is a popular brand in Telugu. With the ATM campaign, we hope to reach out to our new patrons. Those who can't watch TV can download the ZEE5 app and watch their favourite content."

Megha Lokesh said, "I am proud to be associated with ZEE5 Sankalpam. It's a fantastic initiative. The ATM campaign will make my serial 'Kalyana Vaibhogam' all the more accessible to the viewers. Thanks to ZEE5, the serials and shows can be watched any time."

Deepthi Manne said, "A lot of people have died because they couldn't receive the vaccination. Sankalpam is a huge initiative. And I am happy to be a part of it. ZEE5 has previously taken up a lot of drives before, like by giving clothes and essentials to the needy. And ZEE5 is now ready to dish out entertainment in other countries as well. ATM is a good step in that direction. I am a fan of ZEE5. I request the people to download the ZEE5 app."
