In other relegious sytems in other countries, the people are well informed of their relegion, and they contribute 10% of their salary to the church. On the other hand, the average hindu has been kept in the dark. Let alone the average hindu, even the priest do not know how many puranas exist. Out of the 3200 temples in Andhra Pradesh, more than half are in the hands of igorant priests who are not even educated and are not even interested in learning about their relegion. > Today money collected from the rich temples > of A.P goes to the Govt > exchequer to pay hefty salaries to the officials. > Yet poor Archakas are left to fend for themselves. I agree that the archakas have to paid well. What we need is the priests replaced by qualified and well trained priests (such as those trained by JET Vedic Patasshala) should be offered the jobs. Please leave such reforms to well versed experts like our beloved Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Sriman Narayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji. With all glories to Lord Sri Venkateswara, and prayers for the continuation of the diety worship for thousands of yugas to come, Sincerely, Narender Reddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
