"There are 2,07,000 temples in Karnataka & the total income of these temples are Rs 72 crores per year. Only Rs. 6 crore is spent by government for temples, 50 crores for the madrasas and 10 crores for the churches, 6 crore for other activities. In a period of 5 years, 50,000 temples will be closed for the want of funds in just Karnataka alone."   -Sri Sri Ravishankar, 2005

 

Temples in India are under Government control. Only 18% of revenue generated is said to be given back for temple maintenance, while remaining 82% is used for other purposes by Govt. at their discretion. Looting, massive sale of temple lands, demolition, encroachments is occurring all over AP, Kerala, Maharastra, Tamil Nadu & Karnataka. As a community it is our duty to protect temples to save our religion, art, culture and traditions.

What are the Funds Used for?

 

 

 Funds are used for awareness campaigns and legal expenses. Several illegal sales of temple lands were challenged in High Court and put on hold.  Kamal Kumar Swami of GHHF walked 3500 Kms (padayatra)  visiting temples in hundreds of villages bringing awareness.  This culminated at Tirupathi in Jan 2008 attened by 10,000 devotees including many Saints, Dr. Subramanian Swamy and others.  Currently he is conducting second padayatra for 5000 Kms to end in Tirupathi in Feb 2009 (expected to be attended by 50,000), bringing attention to the plight of Hindu Temples to devotees, media and the Govt.  Future action plan is to challenge this discriminatory law in Supreme Court of India.
