The Kanchipuram Varadaraja Perumal Temple, where the world famous Athivaradha arose, is also one of the 108 Vaishnava Divya Desams.
Northern-Southern
In this situation, there was a conflict between the Vadakalai and the Southern sects in singing Divya Prabandham whenever any festival was held in this temple. This situation continued especially during the annual Brahmotchavam.
Divya Prabandham
In this situation, the related case was held in the Madras High Court and the Madras High Court gave a solution by exempting both parties from singing Divya Prabandham.
The temple administration has announced that koshti should not be sung and a notice to that effect has also been pasted in the temple.
Brahmotsavam
In this situation, since the day this year’s Brahmotsavam started, the problem has been arising between the two sides. In that way, on the fourth day of Pramotsavam, Varadaraja Perumal got up on the Sesha vehicle and crawled through various streets and got up in the Gangaikonda Mandapam area as usual.
Northern-Southern conflict
In this situation, Dada Desikar ritualists chanted Mantra Pushpas and performed the worship as usual. While Prabandham had been exempted from singing Prabandham, the Tengala sects who could not tolerate Dada Desikar chanting Mantra Pushpam also sang their protest and there was confusion and conflict.
Charity Department
In order to prevent any mishap, the police intervened between the two sides and told the people of the South Division that the orders of the Hindu Religious Charities Department are applicable only in the temple. If there is an order for this, show them, otherwise we will stop singing if we give them a written notice and they left after chanting the mantra for them.
Devotees suffer
The devotees are suffering day by day as they are not able to have darshan of Sami as there are heated arguments between the two sides and they are talking in an awkward manner.
Daily problem
They are forced to vacillate between the two factions, where the temple executive officer or the bellman keeps the peace without informing them of the orders and the police intervenes only when there is a law and order problem.
Devotees demand
The devotees are lamenting how fair it is for the high officials of the Hindu Religious Charities Department to maintain peace without any interference in a situation where problems can arise every day. The demand of the devotees is to issue orders and take action in such a way that there is no disturbance.
