Tirupati VIP Darshan Tickets Cancelled But Will It Help Devotees

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Board has decided to do away with VIP Darshan Tickets at the famous Tirumala Tirupati Balaji Temple. Currently VIP Darshan tickets are categorized into top priority, priority and general VIPs. Scrapping of VIP darshan tickets mean thousands of common people will enjoy darshan without waiting for long hours in queue. But will this be a reality in a temple where corruption is rampant?

The Hindu writes
 Senior management officials feel that the board has not only has succumbed to political pressure but has also opened the floodgates for black marketers through its hasty decision.
 The scrapping of the categorization of VIP tickets, officials fear, will see a spurt in the black marketing of darshan tickets and recommendation letters will be openly sold at all major hotels and tourist cabs in the district.

Corruption cannot be rooted out from Tirupati. Wealth is the problem here. Who provides money to the temple? The devotees. So we can stop this corruption.

Venkateswara is everywhere. Realize this and divert the money spend in donating and visiting Tirupati to help poor Hindus. Use the money in educating poor Hindu students, aim for poor homes, old age homes and establishments that will help Hindu women in your village, town etc. 

The corrupt won't go unpunished. They are suffering. Don't go by the looks, houses, cars, dress, gold etc. Life is a living hell for all of them. They never get proper sleep. Majority of them even do not get an easy death. They lie on bed in pain, suffering asking Venkateshwara to take the life away. Even their families are suffering - bad marriages, wayward sons and daughters, children born with deficiencies. The suffering is unimaginable.
