In a recent statement, Sadhguru highlighted the importance of devotee-led management of Hindu temples, citing the Tirumala Laddu controversy as a cautionary tale. Expressing dismay over the desecration of temple prasad with animal fat, Sadhguru stressed the sacred nature of offerings and the need for devotees to safeguard temple traditions.
The incident at Tirupati Devasthanam, where reports surfaced of beef tallow being mixed in prasad, has triggered outrage among Hindu devotees. Sadhguru’s call for greater devotee involvement in temple affairs resonates with those who believe that religious institutions should be free from government interference.
Addressing the controversy on social media, Sadhguru condemned the act of forcing Hindu worshippers to consume prasad tainted with beef fat. He underscored the spiritual significance of temple management by devout Hindus, advocating for a return to traditional practices to uphold the sanctity of Hindu temples.
As public protests escalate and demands grow for the restoration of temple management to the hands of devotees, the debate over religious autonomy and governmental control continues to intensify. The unfolding saga at Tirupati Devasthanam serves as a stark reminder of the need to protect the purity and reverence associated with Hindu temples.
