Thread on a #freehindutemples experiment. Hindu Samaj is not ready for self-administering temples. Doing it prematurely will be disastrous. The closet DMK simps campaigning for #freehindutemples have NO CLUE about the post-temple-freedom reality. 👇
Post-temple-freedom reality of Chidambaram temple 👇 It's a shortcut of power over temples given to lemurs and padre govts. But malicious #freehindutemples fans like @ESBDelhi want precisely to handover temple control to ✝️Vatican!

DHARMIC CRITICAL MASS
.......
One of things that everyone needs to do is to sit down with the oldest member in the family and have a conversation. We must have the names of 4 generations at a minimum, if that is not possible, 3 on both maternal and paternal side

++
- both the pitru-varga / matru varga on the paternal side and similarly on the maternal side (Father / Grandfather / Great Grandfather / Great-great grandfather / Mother / Grand mother / Great-grandmother / Great-great-grandmother)

++
– a total of 16 names and four generations on each side now you have reached back about 350–400 years &that is good enough – start with including all of them in the pitru tarpanam (if you have got the adhikara now, those with fathers should not be starting the tharpanam).

A must read article on the #FreeHinduTemples issue. The whole system is set up to milk money from temples.

"So, how do the state governments manage Hindu temples today? Let us take Sri Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple, Palani, Tamil Nadu as an example."

theprint.in/opinion/indian…
"All hundi collections are deposited in the designated temple bank account. Of this, 14 per cent goes as administration fees, 4 per cent as audit fees (Section 92), 25-40 per cent as salaries and 1-2 per cent for prayers and other festival expenses."
"Between 4-10 per cent of the total collections go to the ‘Commissioner Common Good Fund’ (Section 97). Further, money is transferred to various popular schemes run by the government like free meals and marriages."

Swamy Dayanada Saraswati (Arsha Vidya) , Swamy Paramatmananda and Vishveshwaranand Girji Maharaj in 2012 filed a plea in #SupremeCourt seeking directions to #freehindutemples from governmental control in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh.
The plea contended that the legislations take away
the autonomy of the Religious Institutions and Denominations. Even the conduct of religious rites and rituals are regulated by the Executive Officers and by the Trustees appointed by the Government. #SupremeCourt
The PIL, stated that the proposed expenditures and budgets for conducting religious rituals have to be
CONSIDERED upfront by the authorities of the Department and the Government and ONLY AFTER MEETING WITH THEIR APPROVAL money can be spent for such rituals #freehindutemples

Brahmins are less than 2% of the population.

They are the most alienated and abused among all Indians. Still 50% of all @NobelPrize won by Indians to date were Brahmins.

80% of Top Global Indian origin CEOs running Trillion dollar & Multi Billion companies are Brahmins.
Still give #FreeHinduTemples & give it back to them and they happily give all of the above away and go back to serving the Gods & their devotees.

Brahmins have survived thousands of years of killings, loot, prosecution & utter disregard still it will not stop us from serving 🙏🏼
Lol, peacefuls are so triggered by this tweet. Glad to see that caste divide is used by them to convert. But how many of you Islam has one of the worst caste divisions and their sects have killed millions of their own faith? And it is ongoing.

Bashing Brahmins 24x7 is the only Job of Babus, Politicians and every Cult followers.

Why are they so afraid of Brahmins?
As a brahmin by birth I got nothing from the Govt.

No subsidy, no grant, no free seat or even loan. I didn't even know my Caste was an issue until I saw how Univ seats were being given to my friends who scored 40% while even 80% of Brahmins didn't get any.

What patriarchy? 🤔
All these so called atrocities they claim Brahmins did.

Are they sinister than Communist killing 100M? Or Muslim armies killed millions or Missionaries slaughtering natives?

Brahmins killed & temples were looted & left penniless.

What is this they keep claiming?

The temples are the place where people worship the divine lord. The architecture of the temples is more than just a spiritual approach. A lot of science indulges in the construction of these Hindu temples. Hindu Temples are the place where science meets spirituality to attain
the highest knowledge to strive for eternity. Every single facet, the structure created is a science that affects the preachers. Temple architecture is a highly developed science. The Structure of the temple from the placement of pillars to the size of the idols everything built
with a lot of science. Our body is a temple. Our ancestors believed in this saying. Thus, the temple constructed has a figure of a human body. The pillars placed in the place of arms while the entrance of the temple placed as the feet of the temple.

While folks are busy talking about the emotional aspects of #FreeHinduTemples I wrote this article in 2018 on temples and job creation: (1) opindia.com/2018/07/sam-pi…
While I might not be qualified to comment on this, in my humble opinion #FreeHinduTemples can actually lead to a mini economic revolution of sorts, provided the government encourages them to use their excess funds to provide ancilliary services. (2)
So while the temple gets taken care of , the land around the temple can host other facilities like Bhojanalaya, Aushadhi Kendra, Gaushala, Pustakalaya etc. Heck we temples can have attached schools, research centres, vedic math centers and startup incubation centres. (3)

Read Scriptures but don't interpret it from Bollywood perspective

Bcoz

Love us not all about lust or sexuality

Raas Leela is not a Rave Party

#FreeTNTemples
#FreeHinduTemples
What is use of the Scriptures if

U don't comprehend it properly or in right interpretation

Without having any Spiritual Experiences

Only mugging & cramming as information purpose

Only driving force is hate but not Love for Someone

#FreeTNTemples
#FreeHinduTemples
Mira bai
Ram Krishna Paramhansa
Mahrashi Valmiki
Kabir

didn't read Scriptures for their enlightenment

Because realisation is don't mean gathering information it is all the way other dimension

Beyond physical, beyond five senses or mind

1. On 01/03/2021 we have filed a representation before the @CMofKarnataka and HRCE Commissioner pointing out several issues of financial misappropriation, mismanagement in Sri Kukke Subramanya Temple. The representation has been filed by our lawyer @ShreehariK.
2. Temple books haven't been audited for last 5 yrs. Previously audit was conducted for FYs 2008-09 to 2011-12 in 2015 & for FYs 2012-13 to 2014-15 in 2016. The Audit reports pointed out numerous inaccuracies, errors, mistakes apart from instances of mismanagement.
3. Some of the issues highlighted are:
a. Non-preparation of Budget for each year prior to commencement of the year.
This indicates non-maintenance of regular books of account and thus lack of data for preparation of budget.

This new controversy regarding #FreeHinduTemples reminds me of our Supervisor who a few years ago had bought a plot of land on the outskirts of the city & built his modest house.

Slowly as other houses were built & occupied the talk of a temple came up.

That was 5 yrs ago.
The then 30 odd home owners & now around 45 are still discussing, arguing with tempers running high over the ‘logistics’ of putting up their place of worship.

What began as an idea to bring together a community has in fact split them right down the middle with the local MLA
taking sides.

So the plan is on hold.

At the same time, with not even a dozen Believers in the neighbouring area, a small mosque came up almost over night, without much ado.

The adjacent empty plot is used for Namaaz & Azaan is heard 5times a day through the locality.

The source of hatred towards Sadhguru protected on SM by a certain section of Hindu Traditionalists seems to be based on him successfully galvanizing massive public support to #FreeHinduTemples!

No wonder the British were able to divide and rule us so easily in the past 🤦‍♂️
Did Sadhguru ever say he is the one to start a movement like this? NO

Did pioneers of the movement to legally & constitutionally free Hindu temples, like @trramesh or @jsaideepak say so? NO

Did anyone get this kind of public support before or did anyone prevent them? Perhaps No
Did Sadhguru or his team ever publish anything like them being the only custodians of temple freedom movement? NO

Did many Dharmic gurus from across the country support this endeavour? YES

Then why is so much angst & acrid behaviour towards Sadhguru from some sections alone?

You "follow" someone long enough on twitter - their ugly underbelly becomes visible....not so different from real life - is it?
Had puzzled me always, why certain handles swearing by Sanatan, has weirdly latinish names. Others had suspiciously Hollywoodish ones!
It becomes clear now, as like a hungry horde, they are attacking @SadhguruJV, all on the back of his vocal support for #FreeHinduTemples.
Clearly, the agenda is to pose as sanatanis for as long as possible, and whenever any notable appears to be adding critical mass to true Sanatani unity, run a vitriolic campaign against them.
I ignored the intuition that kept raising the red flag at the names these handles++

I have been thinking to put down why #FreeHinduTemples is important, with the story of @srigokarna temple!!

The thread may look bit lengthy, but it is very important for all of us to understand why it is important.

Deity & devotee: is temple! No role for govt here!

1/
Along with establishment of @ShankaraPeetha at Srikshetra Gokarna 1300 years ago by Adiguru Shankaracharya, the administration of @srigokarna was given to SriMatha with notes:

अतित्रष्ट यतिश्रेष्ट गोकर्णे मुनिसेविते। महाबलस्य च लिंगंच नित्यं विधिवदर्चनम।।

#FreeHinduTemples
2/
In between, the Mahabaleshwara temple @srigokarna which was supposed to be administered by @ShankaraPeetha got covered by the premises of Muzrai department by mistake of the government.

I am actually not surprised that there is a tirade being built up against @SadhguruJV.
The same was done when he started his rally for rivers.
The latest rant - a 10 minute section from a 4 hr video, is being used to vilify him in totality.
Why?

Only one thing comes to mind++
++ He is lending his weight to the #FreeHinduTemples #FreeTNTemples issue.
It can no longer be dismissed as coincidence.
He, like every other human being, has his faults, and if he says something that is not correct, he can be called out.

Can someone find out the occassion++
++of the said video? Is it a recent video? Or is it an old one?

If it is an old one, how come it has suddenly surfaced at a time when he has started openly supporting freeing of Temples?

Are trad Hindus being cunningly played by forces inimical to Sanatan Dharma?
