Kadapa is a
very sacred place for all the devotees of Lord Balaji/ Sri
Venkateshwarluvaru.
Kadapa ,
which is the Entrance to Lord Balaji cannot be renamed with anyone or
anything. Renaming of Kadapa as YSR District by GoI and GoAP is hurting
the sentiments of Billions of Devotees. We strongly condemn the
renaming. We request all concerned to reconsider and restore the pride
and sanctity of Seven Hills, Lord Balaji and the devotees. We demand the
withdrawal of the Ordinance by GoAP immediately. Please review
and take appropriate action in support of Lord Balaji and keeping the
thousands of years of traditions of Tirumala-Tirupati.
Will we
rename Bharat if something happens to another leader at the National
level?

-----------------------------------------------------------
GoAP headed by Congress Party has to stop from abusing its authority and
desecrating a civilizational heritage contained in the name Kadapa.
Since this is a gateway to Tirumala Venkateswara, any change in name is clearly
intended only to hurt the sentiments of the population's religious
sentiments associated with Tirupati-Tirumala. Kadapa had many great
personalities - Annamacharya,
Vemana, Pothuluri Veera Bramham and many more.
From BCE , Kadapa has been the
recorded name from several sources which are available with the district
authorities and ASI. Devuni Kadapa or simply Kadapa is the starting
point of
Pilgrimage
to the holy place of Sri Venkateswar/Lord Balaji on Yedu Kondulu (i.e
Seven Hills). Kadapa means "Entrance to Lord Balaji's Abode".
kaḍapa. [Tel.] n. A
threshold. A gateway. (Metaph.) a house.
This is the entry on p. 234 of CP
Brown's Telugu-English dictionary. A name of such historic significance
should not be altered to glorify a recent holder of a public office.
We strongly protest the change in
name of Kadapa District to YSR District. We demand Kadapa District
remain Kadapa District.
We request
The Government of India
and Government of
Andhra Pradesh to reconsider keeping in view the historical and
religious importance of Kadapa and not to hurt the sentiment of Billions
of believers and followers of Lord Balaji/ Sri Venkateshwara.
