Why are 1000 crores spent on an idol ?

Q) రామానుజుల వారి విగ్రహం 108 అడుగులు అని చెప్పారేమిటి? 216 అడుగులు కదా?
A) ఆయన కూర్చున్న ప్రదేశం నుంచీ అసలు విగ్రహం 108 అడుగులే , ఆ క్రింద ఉన్న పద్మ పీఠం, దాని క్రింద భవంతులూ కలిపి 216. మాండ్యాలో విగ్రహం ఎత్తుతో పాటుగా చెప్తున్నప్పుడు Apple to Apple Comparison ఉండాలిగా , మాండ్యా విగ్రహం కేవలం కూర్చున్న మూర్తే 36 అడుగులు . అందుకే నండూరి గారు అలా చెప్పారు.

Whenever someone makes a video or blog on "Statue of Equality", people immediately ask 2 questions.
1) "Why are 1000 crores spent on an idol, why dont they use it for poor people?"
2) Why did they install a statue which belongs to a person of their caste? Why don't they install so and so leaders statue?
Lot of people are writing the same to our channel. When I took those questions to Nanduri garu, this is what he explained to me. I felt that it is useful for various people.

Samatha murthy idol is pioneer of developing religious tourism in India, which in turn attracts many tourists and spiritual seekers of sanathana dharma. Also its providing livelihood to many staff working there. So of course contributing to Indian economy by giving a strong message of equality. That idol does a 100% apt and useful work than useless workless fellows who have only work to comment and troll anyone just because youtube comment section is free. Praying to god that such fellows get good job soon and earn something for their family than sitting unemployed in my country, and recklessly commenting on some good works.

Chinna Jeeyar Speech at Statue Of Equality inauguration

The Statue of Equality, also referred to as the Ramanuja statue, is a statue of the 11th-century vaishnavaite Ramanuja, located on the premises of the Chinna Jeeyar Trust at Muchintal, Hyderabad. It is the second tallest sitting statue in the world. The project of building the statue was conceptualised by the trust to commemorate 1000 years since Ramanuja's birth Costing an estimated ₹1,000 crore (US$130 million), the project was paid for through the donations of devotees in a major part.

Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swami Ji's ashram has installed a 216-ft-tall statue of Ramanuja Charya, which has been named 'Samathamurthy'.
In 2014, ascetic Chinna Jeeyar came up with the idea to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Ramanuja's teachings by building a statue. The ground floor will be 6,000 square metres and will depict Ramanuja's life and philosophy. The temple, meant for daily worship, will be located on the 27,870 square metre second floor. The 1,365 square metre third floor will include a Vedic digital library and research centre. An Omnimax theatre in the shape of a planetarium featuring life stories of Ramanuja was planned. 14 models were designed according to Agama Shashtra and Shilpa Shastras. 3 models were shortlisted and improvements were made using 3D scanning technology. It was named 'Statue of Equality' by the trust

Solution for bad Omens

When a black cat crosses our path, it is an omen. Black represents planet Saturn. This planet causes failures and delays in our tasks and ventures. When a black cat crosses the path, it means that the particular task at hand would not be fruitful or would get delayed. It means that planet Saturn is not working favorably for him or her.
When one happens to experience such an omen, then one can sincerely offer prayers to God and light a lamp for Lord Ganesha to ward off the ill effects of planet Saturn.
It is good omen to see a cow, cow with calf, horse, elephant, before setting on a journey but a bad omen when a black cat comes across the path, according to saguna sastra.
