Chilkur Balaji Temple head priest C S Rangarajan and Representative of Ahobila Mutt Sri P Srinivasachary met Visakha Sarada Peetham seers Swamy Swaroopanandendra and Swamy Swatmanandendra, who are presently in Hyderabad. The priests handed over Ahobilam Lakshmi Narasimha swamy prasadam and Chilkur Balaji Venkateswara Swamy Prasadam with Garlands and Sesha Vastrams to the seers.

Later, the Seers held discussions with the Priests on a range of issues like the successful culmination of Deity Rights issue in Gyanvapi dispute…this is addressed through the discovery of similarity to Shri Padmanabha Swamy Deity, Kashi Vishwanath Deity in the form of Avimuktheshwara is by custom, usage and tradition Ruler of Kashi from times immemorial which has force of law under Art 372 and the Deity is a Ruler under Art 363 (2)(b) on whose behalf and with consent the instrument of accession was signed by Kashi Maharaja. The relevant papers have been filed in the Supreme Court in the Gyanvapi case.

This discovery it is hoped will solve the Gyanvapi dispute amicably. Further, the repercussions of the recent Ahobilam Temple Judgement by the AP High Court was also discussed.

The Ahobila Mutt representatives were very grateful for the pro active role of the Vishaka Sarada Peetham in Temples Protection issues and requested HH, the Seers to advice the Endowments Minister and Officials in the Government of AP to refrain from extending the Litigation to the Supreme Court and frame a policy of Autonomy to Temples run by ancient Mutts. Swamy Swaroopanandendra was very receptive to the suggestions and assured his support.
