A PLACE TO PRAY & WORSHIP GOD - HINDU TEMPLES

Nothing is free in this world, not peace of mind, Not the prayer to the god, to visit the temple you have to pay. Years ago there was only one community (Brahmin )handling and managing the temples and for the expenses of the temples they need donations and had very small income from the temples. They know all the ritual activities with hindu religious and Brahmin do this activities in Sanskrit language only. Multiple language country India never used this Sanskrit language other than ritual activities and all the worship done with or without translated meaning of Sanskrit.


But the time has changed now, with rising economy , with rising every one's income, the race has begun now for getting rich, Everybody running for new car, new house and try to make maximum money possible. Money comes with lots of trouble also rose the instability of mind. There are huge crowds coming in the temples, In this race they need peace of mind. The crowd bought big donations to the temple and income of temples have lead to bad intention of temple's organisers.


If you are looking for new business, Making temples is very good business, ready steady and cash income from temples. All you have to do is you should have land at proper location OR should have enough political contacts to capture good location in your city to build a temple. First of all make one 2 x 2 feet small temple called deri and as you are very busy person to do lot of work, hire Poojari (a person who is Brahmin by birth and know all activities to pray god.) do to all routine jobs with temple. Gradually step by step you have to enlarge the size of temple, you don't have to worry if you are blocking the road. Within a year you will find a big, marble fitted, flags on the top and crowded by the lots of Indian hindu people temple in the middle of the road. The every visitor come in the temple with trust by his heart, put some money in Box in front of God or Goddess and the Income starts.


Criminals, the land mafia and anti-social elements exploit religious sentiments of the people to grab "public land" through the construction of such places of worship, A large chunk of land thus remains under illegal occupation and in middle of road blocking the traffic. Indian court had also ordered to demolish such illegal construct, but political activities and religious sentiments of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and others creates the riots in the city. Land-grabbing is one aspect, but the problem turn out to the different direction. In any Indian religious place, In the name of religion, money making minded people set up around the temple to generate their incomes, these people includes all of them sweet shops (prasad), flower shops and others. More over, beggers are biggest nuisance outside the temples.


Is there really possible to get peace of mind in such crowded. polluted, dirty places ? The intention of religious service provider is not right as they talk about the peace of mind, connection in god and their interest in making money only. If you visit religious places around India you will have numbers of bad experiences for paying money (in name of daxina) forcibly for religious activities done by local people. Some religious had made new temples by their income of donation as a mean of only family entertainment places, it is difficult to find any spiritual activities over there. Now if we consider this spiritual activity as a business, this type of business should be very transparent. They must disclose every income and expenses of temple.


What a single person can do to stop unethical act around temples.

• Never give donation to the temple which are illegally constructed or do not keep the temple clean.
• Do not buy anything around from the shops outside temple if they had blocked street or their shops are dirty.
• Never encourage the beggars by giving change instead find some organisation to rehabilitate them.
