What was the remark made by Kanchi Acharya?
We can do business with Kanchi Acharya and Shaivates.
If it is a valid remark we can discuss about it.
It is important to have good relationship with Kanchi Acharya as he is the 
school of thought and a good peedam for a few centuries.

Vaishnavite seers criticise remarks by Kanchi Acharya 

By Our Special Correspondent 

CHENNAI, MARCH 16. Vaishnavite seers and mutt heads
today strongly criticised the reported remarks by Sri
Jayendra Saraswati of Kanchi in Hyderabad on the
internal affairs of the Venkateswara temple at
Tirumala. 

In a strongly-worded statement released at a press
conference here, Sriperumbudur Embar Jeer, Melkote
Yatiraja Jeer, Vanamamalai Kaliyan Ramanuja Jeer,
Sriperumbudur Varada Yatiraja Jeer and Kanchi Azhagia
Manavala Jeer said the Sankaracharya was in no way
connected with the internal affairs of the
Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). They said Sri
Tridandi Sriman Narayana Jeer made suggestions to the
TTD for restoring `aagama' modalities and traditional
customs and practices as reestablished by Sri Ramanuja
and his disciple, Sri Anantaazhvaan, in the 11-12th
centuries AD. As the Jeer's suggestions were given to
preserve and enhance the temple's sanctity, the Andhra
Pradesh Chief Minister and the TTD received the
suggestions in the spirit with which they were made
and agreed to implement them. 

Rituals at Tirumala were being guided by Vykhanasa
Agama, with which the Kanchi Acharya had no
connection. He had no locus standi on the affairs of
the Vaishnavite temple, they said. 

The Kanchi Mutt head would agree that no Vaishnavite
seer would be given any role in the affairs of Siva
temples. Legally too, as confirmed by a Privy Council
judgment, one had no right to interfere in the affairs
of temples belonging to other sects. The Jeers said
they would not encourage or be party to any derogatory
comment, which would disrupt harmony amongst Hindus.
The common people were not interested in divisions
between Vaishnavism and Saivism that would lead to
confusion, they said.
