AP: 1500 years old Shri Bhavnarayan Rajagopuram collapses

Bhagyanagar(Andhra Pradesh): King Kimikant of Chole Dynasty had constructed temple of Shri Bhavnarayan at Baptla, Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh. Recently, temple’s Rajagopuram collapsed owing to utter neglect by the Government. (Will the Govt. be so indifferent towards a mosque or church? Had a mosque or church collapsed in such manner, the pro-Muslim / Christian media would have created ruckus that places of worship of minorities were in danger in India ! – Editor SP)

1. The temple was model of archeology during the period of Chole dynasty. It is the opinion of local residents that the temple collapsed only due to sheer neglect on the part of the Government. (Like the Government, Hindus are equally responsible for collapse of temple. Such incidents are occurring because Hindus are apathetic towards their seats of worship and are not united. There is no alternative to bring about a change in the situation by establishing Hindu Nation.- Editor SP) The sanctum sanctorum and acme of the temple were made of granite stone.

2. In the year 1885, the descendent of Amaravati kingdom, King Vasireddy Vyankatadri Naidu had carried out repairs to Shri Bhavnarayan temple. (Earlier, righteous rulers used to look after temples giving donations; but present demonic Congress rulers neglect temples so that they would collapse on their own ! – Editor SP)

3. In the year 1945, the temple was taken over by Archeology Department and in 1960, this Indian temple was taken over by the Government. The cracks developed in the walls of the temple were brought to the notice of Government officers looking after the management of the temple by local residents; but the Government paid no heed. (The anti-Hindu Government is only interested in the money offered by devotees in the temple and is not bothered about maintenance of the temples. Hindus need to fight against the Government for taking over management of the temples for the same reason. Would the Govt. allow church or a mosque to collapse in this manner after taking over its management? And if so, what would have been the reaction of Muslims? Are Hindus going to study the issue and take any firm action ? – Editor SP)

4. Mr. Chenna Reddy, the Director of Archeology Department has criticized the Government Department managing temples. He has also accused that the Government kept the Archeology Department in the dark about repairs of this temple. (It is the duty of Archeology Department to take care of old important structures. The Department should have taken action knowing that the temple was in dilapidated condition. Mr. Reddy should not now stop at just criticizing but should make efforts to send such anti-Hindu officers to jail for not repairing the temple ! – Editor SP)
