Shree, Rangarajan ji is a qualified scientist as well who left his plush job before coming back to temple to preserve the line of succession of family priests. You should see his lifestyle. Very humble small quarters behind the Chilkur temple. There are many such priests in India who get the least recognition and governments are trampling over the temples and treating them as slaves. Temples need to be free of Government control I think the greatness is realised when you are away from that beauty. In US we have temples and a good number of devotees aid and assist in every temple activity. Some times the events start at 6 in the morning and go all the way to midnight. With so much in India surely temples can be made participatory. One of the problems of government control is exactly that it alienated people from participating and makes classes of privileged individuals who try to take advantage of the elite benefits they get. Just look at Tirupati temple. Why the hell does government officials and ministers get protocols and preferential allotments?? Some SC judges make it a habit to spend every weekend on the hills at the cost of TTD. Why should TTD use our donations for their lavishes and not even protect the temple from protecting the religion. After all the donations were given only to propogate dharma. Not to feed these dacoits so shamelessly

People ask how it is that Hinduism survived despite 800 years or more of atrocious Islamic rule? My answer is the unique *temple centred* communal culture (whether village or city) which is strong even today, coupled with the homogenising practice of pilgrimage across the length and breadth of India, along with the calendar of colourful Murti Poojas serving as the central theme, chiming with the average Indian’s spiritual quest for liberation which saved Hinduism. There is an old maxim in Tamil *கோவில் இல்லா ஊரில் குடி இருக்க வேண்டாம்* _Dont live in a place where there is no temple._ This is why so many temples have mushroomed in many parts of the world where Hindus live. All Hindus expect Hindu customs and traditions in the land of their birth to flourish without impediments and be an example and inspiration, especially to Hindus outside India. Wish you the best in all your endeavours.

This is a very important upload by PGurus. In the Holiest Abode of Lord Ssiva Thiruvannamalai also one can see the pathetic way Sri.Arunachalesvar and His Consort ApeethaKuchambal get dragged in a tractor. The very தேரோட்டம் of திருவிடைமருதூர் Temple had come to a halt for several years. It is only owing to Sri.DayanandhaSvamigal 's ( of Arsha Vidhya Gurukulam) immense effort தேரோட்டம் could be revived. It is we the people who pay the price in the form of drought , diseases & various troubles by neglecting OUR Temple Rites & Rituals. Hindus should wake up & realize how various political parties are our main enemies. Thank God certain Hindu Svamijis have taken a forthright stand this time asking all Hindus to vote for Sri.Narendra Modi's BJP. Sringeri Acharya refused to bless congressi rahul gandhi & whoever accompanied him. Film shootings inside Temples should be banned pronto. Tamil Nadu is notorious for such unholy acts.

Very very sad situation! This requires a multi pronged approach. First and foremost it is the devotional mind that has to be created, there seems to be no proper preaching or giving of knowledge in the temples and mathas and associated institutions, and along with the current Macaulay westernised education system it is leading to a distancing of devotees from the spiritual knowledge and traditions. As Shri Rajiv Malhotra said a visit to the temple has become a transactional deal making not a spiritual knowledge exercise. So a temple should also become a place for spiritual learning or teaching with various proper programs and related facilities like dharmashalas and transport, or outreach programmes organised in different places. Secondly teaching and learning of Sanskrit will be a major contributing factor because as the language is learnt there will be simultaneous dissemination of spiritual knowledge and traditions. There must be many people looking even thirsting for such programs Thirdly a proper programme to replace government control by a suitable management structure which will take care of the actual spiritual and traditional activities by actual devotees. Fourthly an educational and awareness programme to study the techniques applied and counter the aggressive conversion projects being carried out by various denominations and religions which should not be ignored. Also there seems to be an association of Hindu sadhus and Gurus which should be active and strengthened. The rath yatra for Jesus is just one of the training and techniques applied,apart from classical dance with Christian stories, dressing in traditional style with tilak etc etc is to lure people who cannot recognise this, to their religion without making them feel culturally dislocated . Shri Rajiv Malhotraji has written and spoken about this well designed program and training of which we should be aware and counter.

In Thiruvallikkeni, Chennai, Sri Padha Thangis are local youngsters, school/college going and office goers. This is purely on honorary basis. During Brahmmotsavams, youngesters from suburbs like Mylapore, Nanganallur, Chrompet , Thambaram etc. also join Those employed abroad in Gulf, US, UK etc make a practice to avail Holiday and do this Kaingaryam. So this can be done through locally. As Sri Iyer pointed out, since we have social network medium, those places where this kaingaryam lacks cane be met with by sending volunteers from other places.

I submit my deep appreciations to Panditji for bringing out the nature of difficulties in maintaing our ancient temples as per long held traditions... For the remedy , we have to get the Govt out of Hindu temples like it is for other religions..if this is done , everything else will on its own get fine by the sheer devotion of people in the village or towns as the interference by Govt officials dampen the spirit , enthusiasm and devotion of them..

1. Money plays a vital role 2. Hindus even family levels are not united. They dont feel the vibes. 3 the dieties should..most importantly should start acting. 4. Please tell the beauty of all these utsava to our kids. 5. Sub divisions like iyangar, iter etc should go & all embracing acts should happen. Nothing wrong in worshipping. 6. Talk about all social , religious & mamy more to include people.even their loneliness will vanish. Encourage all. Tx for raisingthis topic

the priest seems to suggest that there is a shortage of people to take the urchavar ... they could make an announcement, asking for people to volunteer on that particular day the urchavam is held. ... i think there will be a lot of people to do that if urchavam happens once in a year or so..

KCR is an idiot.He is busy making illegal money for his family and joining hands with Anti Social elements like Owaisis brothers. He even does not know who to talk and give respect to others. He is the most idiotic person I have seen in my life.He should first learn manners. Secondly he and his family are involved in massive corruption and the people of Telangana have elected a wrong person who is playing with the sentiments of the Telangana people. Their is no difference between him and Congress .Both are highly corrupt.

Have nothing against idolatry: we all practice it by keeping photos of our parents etc. However, in Gita, the word, “Murtayah” appears only once: where Krishna says I am the seed-giving father and Nature the womb: so, let carry the burden of our siblings across the world who are less blessed with resources and even the animals we force to carry our burden by keeping them tied up in their stables and feeding them only as long as they can be “useful” to us.
