HR&CE Dept. should not behave like owners of Temple
20/05/2012 09:57:24 G Vijayalakshmi

It is a matter of grave concern that the TN Housing Board is contemplating construction of houses on temple lands. These are not Govt lands,but lands donated to temples by devotees for their favourite deities, and as such they were meant to be used only for
religious purposes.How can any Govt misuse the trust of the devotees and use the land for non-religious purposes?

The HR&CE Dept of the Govt is at best only a Trustee and should not try to behave like the owner of the temples. The Govt has no right to sell or transfer the assets of the temples to any third person,which would amount to committing breach of trust. The HR&CE is duty-bound to collect the rents at market values from the people who
are occupying temple lands, and evict encroachers. The funds accrued should be used only for the upkeep/maintenance of the temples and for promoting Hindu Dharma.

It would bode ill for the people who freely enjoy temple lands/properties ,because it amounts to cheating Ishwara Himself,who is the owner of those assets.The TN CM Jayalalitha who had promised to retrieve temple properties must also ensure that those properties are not misused by various departments of the Govt.

In this context, I would also like to state that a secular Govt has no business to administer only Hindu institutions. Hindus have as much right to manage their own institutions, as much as Christians and Muslims have. It is a well-known fact that the Church is the largest owner of properties in India, next only to the Govt of India. Not
withstanding the huge amounts of foreign funds coming into India from abroad for these christian and muslim institutions, Govt is doling out benefits to these so-called minorities, who are in majority all over the world, thus handicapping the Hindus. This is certainly contrary to the principles of Dharma. The Govt is guilty of pursuing adharma for selfish gains.

Vijayalakshmi 23/05/2012 21:53:16	HR&CE I agree that foolish and self-opinionated Hindus themselves are responsible for the present plight of Hindus and their temples being in the clutches of the Govt.Recently the TN Govt has brought in a Bill to bring certain Mutts('Samadhis and 'Brindavanams'as it called them)under the HR&CE.I did not see any reaction from the concerned people.The problem is,Hindus react late.By then the damage is done.But some of them act in haste,and persist in their tom-foolery.For example,Hindu Makkal Katchi's handling of the Swami Nityananda controversy.How could they pronounce judgement on him?One person even petitioned that the Govt take over the Madurai Aadheenam.It is disgusting!It is older Hindu organizations like the VHP which should prevail upon these misguided people to exercise restraint,and put some sanity into them.

The Truth 21/05/2012 17:58:13	There must be a Hindy body to resolve Hindu disputes "Hindus have as much right to manage their own institutions, as much as Christians and Muslims have". But the problem is that whenever Hindus have disagreement netween themselves, they run to the courts, which gives government the control over the Hindu temples and trusts. Why cannot Hindus solve the problems amically between themselves, without taking help from a third (often hostile to Hindus) party? Those who don't think of their community first, should not cry crocodile tears afterwards.
KSV SUBRAMANIAN 20/05/2012 19:17:12	The the more anti-hindu you are the more secular you become that is the Secular Mantra Do you want to be secular. Start the day with abusing hindu community, their practices, beliefs etc. To establish your secular credentials start with abusing Modi. Hindus are incompetent or rather cannot be trusted to administer their temples and religious institutions - so the government think. So they have taken over their temples and run them as government undertakings. Govt.is not accountable to hindu community. Have you seen any accounts published by the Devaswom Boards. Everything is a mystery. In fact they are not accountable to hindus. The politicians accuse British of Divide and rule policy. But they have perfected to an art. They divide hindu community in any perceivable way to usurp their temples, institutions. Divided hindus are worse than any minority community in the world and has become third class citizens in India. They are satisfied with the crumbs thrown at them.

Dr. Babu Suseelan 20/05/2012 10:47:34	Spiritual Blindness of Phony Secularists This can happen only in India. Why, because Hindus are passive, inactive, indolent, tolerant and are in deep denial.All over India, Hindu wealth, Temple land is taken over by pseudo secular governments and handed over to Muslims and Christians. In Kerala thousands of acres of temple land is given to Muslims and Christians by The Islamic/Christian/pseudo secular government. These phony secular governments have no passion for justice, fairness, and commitment for humanitarian and Hindu causes. This form of injustice is brutal and unfair. Temple lad grab is continuing because Hindus are not severely protesting. Hindus have to confront the corrupt politicians and denounce complacency. Hindus have to be real active and assertive. Hindus must act without being abashed or apologetic. It is about facing up to anti Hindu attitude and lack of self esteem. It's about coming out of the closet. I think it is about to tell the truth without fear. Dr. Babu Suseelan

Muslim-exclusive IITs and IIMs, Muslim-exclusive Kendriya Vidyalayas, Muslim-exclusive scholarships and banks and the rest exclusive to Muslims. Are such Muslim-exclusive institutions solutions for the problems of Muslims? Or being exclusive is the very cause of their problems?
