Temple mgmt is not mere standardization, secularization & centralization. It's definitely not only about counting Hundiyal. In fact focusing on only these is a SIN perpetuated against the temples. Temple management is about recognizing it's own unique culture,

Long Thread on #Mathura

This is a picture of the royal Idgah of Mathura taken in 1949, around the royal Idgah and around it the remains of a destroyed temple can be seen. Above these ruins is a notification board by ASI which reads as Krishna Janmabhoomi Apart from this...
The ASI board says that this is where Hindus believe the birthplace of their Bhagwan Krishna was This belief dates back thousands of years.

This place was once a magnificent Krishna temple In 1618 a temple was built by Raja Veer Singh Dev Bundela of Orchha at a cost of 33 lakhs.
Remember In those days for just 1 rupee 296 kg rice was available One can only imagine What would have been 33 lakhs during those days Aurangzeb destroyed the Krishna temple in 1670 And built this royal Idgah on top of its ruins.

Mathura came under British control in 1804.

Today newspapers reported that Hon'ble CM @mkstalin is to head the Advisory Committee for big HINDU Temples of TN.

Will the CM become a violator of the law himself !!??
@Indumakalktchi @ReclaimTemples @svbadri

What is the violation What does the #HRCEAct of TN say..👇
Anybody acting in furtherance of of the Act must be Hindu by birth and professing Hindu Religion, should have faith in God.
CM MK Stalin is a proclaimed atheist and non-believer of Hindu gods.
It is illegal for a committee to be headed by an unqualified person. As an elected representative, he is supposed to heed to the sentiments of devotees, respect and uphold the law of land.

We welcome CM if he takes the pledge as per Act.

Sanatana Dharma is to be recognised as a federation of different Sampradayas, each having their own authority and scriptures.

Different people with different nature, need different paths to self realisation.

All paths, their Gurus, their scriptures need to be respected.
Only half Gurus, fake Gurus and their disciples deride other Sampradayas than theirs.

This is the cause of all the infight within Sanatana Dharma.

Why can't all Sampradayas within Sanatana Dharma be considered as having equal status?
Another reprehensible deed is the attempt by some half Gurus to capture temples belonging to other Sampradayas and change the rituals there. They even try to change the bhava of the Deity too.

These unnecessary acts are done in the name of reform and revision.

A thread on the status of temples,

As we think #FreeHinduTemples is not just the issue. The Temple Problems are Multi Level & Multi Fold. Mainly the way they are preserved, renovated & cared.

The step motherly treatment of Hindu Temples can be felt from the photos Shared here.

1. These 1000 yrs old Ashapuri Temples built by Pratiharas & Paramars are yet to be renovated.
2. The mutilated Murtis from this temple complex lie in utterly neglected state in a small compound few Kms away. Look at the condition of Murtis @wiavastukala

Supreme Court will soon adjudicate on the ban of animal sacrifices for Hindu Deities in states of Tripura, Odisha, Himachal and Kerala.

In other states where the sacrifices has been banned by law or the courts, please approach the Supreme Court for a stay.

#ReclaimTemples Image
Annuling the animal sacrifice prohibition laws is important to reinstate virachara in all the Shaktipeeths and associated temples of the Goddess.

Also revival of the temples of certain Deities can only begin with blood sacrifices.

#ReclaimTemples Image
Attempts to curb animal sacrifice is a direct assault on Hindu Dharma and it is time to stop such efforts.

Pity state of Massive & Beautiful Bagawan Shiva (Suddha Ratneswara) temple in Ootathur - Near Srirangam & the Priest pathetic condition!
It's an architecture marvel & has the stamp of both Choza & Pandya Kings
Preist here is paid 3500/-PM to manage the temple!

He is also responsible for 7 ft tall Panchanathana Nataraja statue which is valued in crores!

Apart from this, some guys have put a petition on the poor priest for not keeping Ambal Sannidhi open!!

As a lone man,he could only manage one Praharam at a time
So he takes turns
Does those idiots know the devotion & dedication of the priest

His family has been doing Pooja to Shiva Bagawan of this temple for past 200 years, hence he is continuing.

Neivedyam too is made for Bagawan from 3500!!

Else who else will come to do Pooja for 3500?

The present trustees of Ayodhya Ram Mandir seems to be more devoted to @narendramodi than Lord Sriram.

It's an insult to Deity that construction of His temple will commence only when Modi finds it convenient to visit the temple.
POLL:

Basis their contribution to the RamMandir cause, whom you think is best suited to inaugurate RamMandir construction?

Please do vote, share and let know your thoughts.
If Narendra Modi doesn't have time to inaugurate RamMandir construction, the Mandir trustees should invite Lal Krishna Advani or any other person who undertook great struggles for Ram Mandir movement.

Views from Hindu Samaj should also be sought.

Thousands of Rath Yatras happen in Odisha which remains banned.

The state govt should allow all these Rath Yatras with the same conditions that apply to the Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra.

#ReclaimTemples
What was the legal basis by which the Supreme Court banned all Rath Yatras in Odisha. What was the legal basis by which order was reversed only for Puri RathYatra.

Why the order was not reversed for all other RathYatras in Odisha which remains banned.

Please let know your views
Rath Yatras which is conducted once a year is an essential ritual for all the Deities across the state of Odisha.

While Puri Jagannath temple which has patronage of rich and mighty have got some justice, it's being denied to thousands of other temples in villages across Odisha.

In many states in India it's a crime to sacrifice animals and birds for Hindu Deities, while sacrifices for Islamic Deity Allah is perfectly legal.

The act becomes a crime warranting arrest and imprisonment only when done by Hindus.

This is against the basic tenets of justice.
In Andhra, Telangana, Gujarat, Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan its forbidden by law to sacrifice animals for Hindu Deities.

There is no law against killing of animals or even sacrifice by Muslims and Christians. An act becomes a crime based on the religion of the doer.
The judiciary have also issued arbitrary orders to ban animal sacrifices at Shaiva, Shakta temples and even at the Shaktipeeths based on frivolous petitions.

The judges seems to be driven by an obstinacy that all the rituals must conform to the Victorian moralities they cherish.

The politicians here are the octopus which is feeding on Hindu temples and diverting the resources which is meant to uphold Dharma.

And each of the several hundred legislations mentioned are the tentacles by which they squeeze the Hindu temples and interfere in administration.
Please read about how Hindu temples were brought under their control by Indian politicians. The fight to free Hindu temples is the fight against politicians.
