Please post if appropriate. This is supposed to be an

" eye-opener " . It does not deal specifically about

Tatvavada. Thanks in advance.

 

Namaskara,

 

This is a message forwarded by one of my colleagues.

It is a social cause which we have to collectively

bring a change about if we need to preserve the rich

and ancient Hindu heritage back home.

 

Shocking facts about Hindu Nationalized Temples:-

 

There are as many as 2,07,000 temples in Karnataka and

the total income of these temples amounts to 72 crores

and only a sum of Rs. 6 crores is being spent by the

Government for their upkeep. On the other hand, the

Government spent a phenomenal amount of Rs.50 crores

for the madrasas and Rs.10 crores for the churches,

and for the Hindu temples only a partly sum of Rs.6

crores is being spent.

 

Why the Church was and is the biggest landlord in the

country and gets protected because of the Societies

Registration Act of 1860, which was enacted by the

British only for the purpose of protecting the church.

All of them had taken the protection of this Act.

 

The draconian law of Karnataka affecting the

Matadhipathis and Acharyas - Many Acharyas have

highlighted the problems faced by them because of the

clutches of the Endowment Act. In the year 1992-93,

the Government of Karnataka, in the process of

bringing a common law for all the five sub-regions in

the State, as per the directions of the Supreme Court,

came out with a draconian law as per which a

Matadhipathi, an Acharya, who we treated as equal to

God, had to take permission for making any expenditure

above Rs.100 and that permission had to be got from

Government official of the level of a Tahsildar and

not even at the level of an Assistant Commissioner.

 

In 2002, the State received Rs 72 crore as revenue,

returned Rs 10 crore for temple maintenance, and

granted Rs 50 crore for Madrasas and Rs 10 crore for

churches. Hindu friends protest that this

studiedneglect of temples under the direct control of

the State Government could cause as many as 50,000 of

the 2.6 lakh temples in Karnataka to close down within

five years. Many ancient temples are in extremely poor

condition, and their managements and priests carp

about inadequate funds. Even salaries are not

disbursed regularly, and priests are forced to survive

on donations made by devotees in the aarti plate.

 

There is a move to take away Tirumala temple lands and

distribute them among poorer sections in the name of

social justice. Around 3,000 acres of temple lands

have been identified for takeover.

 

70% (Rs. 50.00 Crores) of Hindu Temples money is

diverted for Muslim Madarasas and Haj by Indian

Government. 5,000 Temples in Karnataka to be closed

down due to lack of funding and maintenance. During

Kumbh Mela in Nasik each Hindu was forced to pay Rs.25

to Rs.50 for a dip in the holy water. Congress, BJP

and Siva Sena said nothing about this (while giving

money to Muslims and Christians). Today, if a Hindu or

Sikh wishes to visit holy places in Kailash Mansarovar

or Gurudwara in Pakistan, leave alone subsidiary, they

are forced to shell out large amount of money to visit

their holy places (while Islam enjoys massive 70%

share of Hindus hard earned money to visit Haj in

Saudi Arabia)

 

The Congress Government of Karnataka has made another

breakthrough in appeasing the Minority Communities in

Karnataka. The Government passed a bill in the

assembly that all private owned temples and the temple

comprising of trustees in Karnataka must pay minimum

tax to the Government every year. Failing to which,

the authorized people of the temple would be liable

and or would be prosecuted. This law is being passed

in order to generate income for the development of

Madarasas and provide subsidies to Haj Pilgrims in

Karnataka
