Prabhupāda: Tirupati is establishing Gaṇeśa temple. That is against Bhagavad-gītā. Bhagavān says that kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānā yajanty anya-devatāḥ (BG 7.20). The rascals who are very much lusty, lost their intelligence, they worship other demigods.
Acyutānanda: The Rāmānuja sannyāsīs have had all their authority taken away from them by these...
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Acyutānanda: All their authority in the temples has been taken away by the government committee.
Prabhupāda: Just see.
Acyutānanda: Just ritualistically in the morning the sannyāsī comes and opens the door. He holds the key. We met him at Rangaji.
Prabhupāda: Rāmānujācārya sannyāsīs, they have no influence over them.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: (break) ...to me that the actual purpose of this Tirupati government committee is eventually to do away with all religious function.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's their real plan.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
