There should be no regional boundaries for temples.

EDITORIAL...✍

Now, devotees will take action on the Report….

There have been innumerable Committees in this Country. Lakhs of pages of reports on various

issues like public utilities, from toilets to schools, Agriculture to Finance etc. Maximum numbers ofthese reports remain unimplemented in this country. Successive Governments have continued with thebest traditions of democracy — when you can’t decide on an issue, just form a Committee. By the timethe recommendations come, the main actors have moved on to other issues that warrant more newpanels to study, and recommend the way forward. The latest recommendations of these panels are notbeing made for the first time. A lot of these issues have already been dealt with in the past. Thesesuggestions made with in-depth analyses by the committees, but die on the desks of Bureaucrats.

The temples’ Archakas and other Employees situation is unfortunately the sad story of onesuch experiment by the Government which was started in 1987. It went to the Supreme Court. TheSupreme Court appointed two committees namely, The Pay Scales Committee and the Archaka welfareCommittee. The reports were accepted by the Government and put before the Supreme Court in 1997.The Supreme Court ordered its implementation in 1997 itself. The Government conveniently ignoredthese recommendations and watched the Temples being shut down. Again in 2004, a new Governmentcame and an All Party meeting happened on the Archakas and their abysmal plight... Its report wasfollowed by the Select Committee report in 2007 which resulted in the Endowments Act being amendedin 2007. Again the Act remains unimplemented even after 9 years.

In 2010, the Archakas and Temple Employees went on strike in October 2010. In fact, theyhave been agitating for years together for redress of their grievances; everyone knows that the onlysource of income for the temples was from the devotees’ offerings. Archakas and temple staff have beendemanding better wages as per PRC, while seniors demand pensions as well; Contract employees aredemanding regularisation of services, while another section demands jobs on compassionate grounds.

The Government constituted a Committee in 2010 in view of one such strike by temple non-gazetted employees and Archakas of Vijayawada Kanakadurga Temple, Srisailam, Simhachalam,Annavaram, Yadagirigutta, Dwaraka Tirumala, Basara, Vemulawada, Badrachalam, and other templesprotesting that the Government fulfills their demands. The Government set up a Committee, vide G.O.MsNo. 1303, Revenue (Endt.I) Department, dated 20 October 2010, and modified the same later with G.O.Ms No.1395 dtd 24.11.2010 in which your Editor was a Member. It was asked to examine the feasibilityof the extension of PRC scales to employees working in temples. The Committee submitted its reporton January 5th, 2011 in less than two months time. Immediately upon receipt of the report, the very nextday, a G.O was issued extending PRC Scales to Executive Officers and other Employees working inTemples despite the Establishment expenditure being way above the Statutory limit of 30%. The otherrecommendations related to Archakas and Employees conveniently ignored.

We all should know that not one paisa comes from the Government to Temples, and hence theGovernment and its wise Bureaucrats need not sit on these reports on temples for years together. Manyissues still plague the Temples like retirement benefits, Hereditary Archakas succession rules and theirservice issues etc., but none them are being considered for implementing.

The State Government is taking 21.5 per cent of donations made by the devotees to temples.The Endowments Department is being run with taxes collected from temples. The salaries of EndowmentsDepartment Employees, Executive staff, Commissioner and the likes are being paid from these funds.While these employees were considered Government Employees, Temple employees are being treatedas second class citizens. Apart from the implementation of PRC, regularisation of services of Non-Muster Rolls and compassionate appointments were some of their main demands

The sub-committee gave its report to the government on better emoluments to all templeemployees numbering over 20,000 in the undivided State of Andhra pradesh on January 5, 2011 and itwas approved. It is not yet implemented. Archakas and Temple Employees again went on a strike in2015 and as usual one more Committee has been appointed and no one knows the fate of its report.

We at VAK and Temples Protection Movement have decided to publish the Government Reportof 2011 on Service issues of Archakas and Temple Employees. This Report will be taken to the Devoteesand we will educate them on the way the Contributions made by them in the Temples are being diverted just to pay hefty salaries to officers but making paupers of the Temples and its servants. The time has

come for a Large Devotee Movement and the publication of this Report is the beginning of the same.

AMAZING WITH ORNAMENTS

Sri V.S.Karunakaran, Chennai

Anecdotes on Vishnu Sahasranama - 180

There was a very poor poet named OonpodiPasunkudaiyar in the ancient Chola kingdom. Trueto the saying that Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswathinever go together, the poet and his wife suffered alot due to poverty. On seeing their sufferings, thepoet’s friend suggested that if the poet goes to thepalace and sings the glories of the king Ilanchetchenni,the king will be pleased and will reward the poetwith enormous gold. Adhering to the friend’s advice,the poet went to the king’s palace and praised theway the king Ilanchetchenni Cholan destroyed thefort of Serupali village, defeating the forces of Bharatars

from the south and Vadukars from the north. Thatsong can be seen in the ancient tamil poetic workPurananooru (song no. 378) in the Ettuthogai SangamTamil Literature. The English translation of the song(translated by my disciple Dr.N.Venkatesh) is asfollows:The Chola Ilanchetchenni wearing fresh garland,

With a sharp spear and valiant horses,Defeated the Bharatars of south and Vadukars

of north; He, dwelling in a bright snow-like palace,

With walls painted like the dazzling moon,

When I, the poor poet from a hut praised his victory,Impressed with my poem, He poured tons of

golden jewels; When I took them home, my awestruck poor

wife,Wore ear rings in fingers, rings in ears,Like the red-faced monkeys in mount

Rishyamooka,Wearing ornaments dropped by Mother Sita,When being abducted by the mighty Ravana;

Oh! My family is such a laughing stock.On listening to this song, the King

Ilanchetchenni Cholan was so pleased that he orderedhis servants to bring a lot of golden ornaments innumerous baskets to reward the poet. The King thenpraised OonpodiPasunkudaiyar’s poetry and happilyrewarded him with all those golden jewels whichwas a pleasant surprise for the poet. He carriedall those jewel baskets home in a cart. The wholevillage was taken aback on seeing the poor poetriding a cart with loads and loads of golden ornaments.As soon as he reached home, his wife became veryhappy on sight of these jewels. She hadn’t seen

such ornaments till then in her life. She wanted towear all those ornaments herself and show off tothe rest of the village.

But being unaware of how to wear them, shewore them in a haphazard way, and went to herneighbourhood and showed those jewels to all otherwomen. But those women made fun of her as shehas worn ear rings in her nose, anklets on hershoulders, bangles on her ears, and necklaces inher waist. So all women started laughing but thepoet’s wife thought that they were jealous of herwealth and that is why those women are mocking

her. But a relative of the poet came there and sawher makeup. She took the poet’s wife home andtold her secretly that she had worn all the ornamentsin a disorganized manner and hence the ladies hadmade fun of her.

When she was just realizing the truth, thepoet entered the home after returning the cart thatcarried the jewel baskets. On seeing the appearanceof his wife, a scene from Ramayana flashed in hismind.

The Rakshasa Ravana abducted Mother Sitafrom Panchavati and carried Her in his

pushpakavimana. Sita was at a loss and had noidea of what to do. Then She thought of a plan;She collected all Her jewels in a small piece of cloth,tied a knot and dropped it down at Kishkindha whichwas on the way, so that, when Rama and Lakshmanacome in search of Sita’s whereabouts, this jewelbag might give them a clue. That jewel bag wascollected by Sugriva’s group of monkeys and sincethey had not hitherto seen such jewels, they worethem in a haphazard way - ear rings in nose, ankletson shoulders, bangles on ears, and necklaces inwaist. OonpodiPasunkudaiyar’s wife’s appearancewas as unsightly as those monkeys wearing those jewels in a disorderly way.

This analogy shows that ornaments will addbeauty only if we wear them in a proper way. Butthis does not hold good in case of The Lord SrimanNarayana. Whatever way He wears His divineornaments, He looks elegant, and whatever thingHe adorns, becomes an ornament for Him.

For instance, let us take the example of thedivyakshetra Mannargudi , a place full of champaktrees and hence called Shenbakaranyakshetra. Inthe Rajagopalaswamy temple of Mannargudi, during

Vennaithaazhialankara, the Lord adorns a rakkodi(usually worn in forehead) in His lower back. Eventhen, it is enchanting and devotees thronge to havedarshan of this rakkodi in Rajagopalan’s divine body.Another interesting aspect in this regard is, this rakkodi

in His lower back can be visualized only by viewingthe Lord from His back side. So even great renouncedsouls (sanyasis) wait to observe the enthrallingexquisiteness of the Lord from behind Him, ratherthan having darshan by standing in front of Him.

To quote yet another instance, when theelephant Gajendra went to a pond to pluck a lotusflower to be offered to the Lord, a crocodile caughtits leg. The elephant called the Lord for help. TheLord Hari was in a hurry to save His devotee. SoHe dressed up Himself in a disorderly manner withall the ornaments being adorned at the wrong positionsin His divine body. He inadvertently wore Mahalakshmi’ssari as His upper cloth and rushed to the pond tosave the elephant. Not only the elephant Gajendra,but also all the devas had assembled to have darshanof Gajendra Varada, and they all saw Him dressed

up in a disorganized manner, yet He appeared richand handsome.

Periyazhwar says in His PeriyazhwarThirumozhi (1-7-9), “Krishna! When you return homeafter rearing cattle, the sand dust raised by the

cattle would be deposited on Your face. But eventhat appears as a decoration to Your divine faceand it gives immense joy to me.”

So, the greatness of the divine body of theLord is, whatever He adorns, His divine body addsbeauty to them. Whatever He wears, it becomesan ornament. Irrespective of the way He wears them,He appears rich and handsome.

That is why He is called Srimaan – one whois rich with ornaments. Nirukti puts this crisply asfollows:

ut√ÆßÓmÃ©úuÙ:ÆÏ O :»y™ÁåΩ ÃtÁÀ™wo:Those who want to have a wealthy and pleasingpersonality, as if decorated always with amazingornaments may meditate on the form of Lord VisaBalaji at Chilkur and chant SRIMATHE NAMA:

Madhura Vijayam - 53

Story so far: The story based on the 14 th century incidents, was written by Sri Venugopalan which is

based on the historic facts elucidated in Madhura Vijayam composed by Maharani Ganga Devi, Chief Queen of King Kampanaraya. Two young menVallabha and Duttaset out on an expedition to locate the idol of Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam, which was saved by four Kodavas from being ransacked by Muslim invaders. After several adventures the two boys, with the help of Chenchu tribes found the idol along with one Kodava who protected the idol for more than eighteen years deep inside the forest of Chandragiri.Lord Ranganatha was brought to Tirumala and King Ranganatha Yadavaraya the ruler of that place patronized the upkeep of the idol with daily pujas.Coincidentally Sri Gopanna, commander-in-chief of the Vijayanagara’s mulvoy province reaches Tirumala in search of Lord Ranganatha and he promises Vallabha help of Vijayanagara to restore Lord Ranganatha to Sri Rangam which enabled Vallabha break his fast unto death. Vallabha and Datta turned to Kancheepuram on their way back, ensured safety of Manjari with her neighbors after the death of Singazhagar who was the key energy behind the expedition and left the town with disguised Vaishnavas as the fort doors were closed as a defense to an impending attack by Vijayanagar army. The disguised Vaishnava leader was no other than Camphor merchant who revealed that he was the head of Intelligence army of Vijayanagar. Dutta, Vallabha and the Vijayanagarmen managed to kill all their pursuers and escaped to the foothills of the mountain

on which Sambuvaraya’s fort exists where at the behest of Camphor merchant Vallabha and Datta enter the Rajagambhira fort as Gem merchants to rescue Makaravizhiyaal. They spot her in the palace while selling gems to the queen. Datta wanted to abort the mission and go while Vallabha stays firm. After some mutual arguments the parting friends unite again to the mission and get trapped in the palace attempting to meet the princess.Meanwhile at Vijayanara Bukkarayamoved by the events has convened a high level meeting with his son Kampana Raya, Gopanna, Salva Mangu and other subjects to discuss the course of action on conquests to south and have decided to taken on Madhurai Sultan in spite of Bhamanis power always threatening them

across Tungabhadra. As a first step Kancheepuram was conquered and Kampana Raya’s army is now advancing towards Rajagambhiramountain. Vallabha and Datta have been who got trapped in one side of the fort got rescued by princess Madhurangini and her aides..When Vallabha heard the vessel fall down he becamealert . He thought that Madhura is signaling somethingto him. He urgently went inside and swiftly climbed theflag post and sat on the loft hiding place where he couldnot be spotted from bottom. As expected by him aftersome time some lady guards came in and looked forsomeone. When they could not find they stood for sometime and left after searching here and there.

Sri Ranganatha Travel Part – II

“I told you already that the girl has become mad. Sheis constantly speaking to herself. I said to you this you

did not believe me. Now see for yourself. Are you ableto realize?!” asked a lady guard. The other lady responded“yes. She has become mad!”When they left, Vallabha became more curious. Therewas a clear sea like noise outside. ‘What is this? Whata bad time! I got trapped here. I feel like eunuch ’. SaidVallabha to himself.‘I should escape from here, go out and join the fightbetween armies happening out side. Will that bepossible?. What can he do single handedly? I am noteven aware where Datta had gone. Even if he hadescaped, he would not have gone out of the fort. Thatis impossible at this stage. Would he have been capturedand beheaded by the kings guards? It is fearful to thinklike that. I should have listened to Datta. If I had not

taken up to help the Karpoora Kantha, we could haveby this time reached Sathyamangalam. There we couldhave met my mother. I could have narrated to her allthe happenings in detail. Poor lady! It has been sixmonths since I saw her. She would be stressed withthe separation. Even she would have lost weight andgone down in her energies. She should be thinkingabout me and often shed tears for me. I should havegone to such a great lady and say ‘Mother! Look HereI am back and am with you again’ and made her enjoyin the ocean of happiness. Instead of doing all thesegood things, I went to help someone and got trappedsomewhere. Datta! Were you right in warning me? Yousaid not to get distracted on my way! Have I not heededto your advise nor to my mother’s warning?’When he was having such depressing and confusingthoughts in his mind he comforted his mind and triedto pacify it in the following way.‘Looking back, I have done all these for Lord Ranganatha.Yes, that is for sure!. If Lord Ranganatha has to reachSri Rangam there has to be several political activities.There has to be war with Sambuvaraya and MaduraiSultan. If all these wars end favourably to Vijayanagarthen only we can re-establish Lord Ranganatha inSrirangam. If these have to happen correctly we haveto do several preparatory work. This expedition of savingthe Princess of Madurai is one among the preparatoryworks and has to be successfully accomplished. Wehave been given this important responsibility by theVijayanagar Intelligence army chief. Therefore this workis also part of the mission for Lord Ranganatha.’When he was thinking, suddenly he heard a low voice“Sir! Sir!”.Vallabha immediately came down from the flag postand went to the place near the roof top and called“Princess!”“Sir. I am here only” said Princess Madhura“What happened to you your highness? Why is yourvoice low?” enquired Vallabha.“They have chained me and my legs. I can only walkaround this room. I cannot cross this room.” repliedPrincess Madhura.

“Princess! It is difficult to hear this. When I, a man andwarrior is here, how can I be of no use! Please tellme! I will come up and do any kind of help and favorto you. It is a shameful feeling for me to be actionless”said Vallabha“Sir, don’t do anything in a hurry. The whole palace is

under turmoil. Sambuvaraya king and family have arrivedfrom Kancheepuram. Everyone is very angry. If theycapture you they will kill you immediately. Thereforedon’t do anything in haste. What will happen will happen.I have belief in the Lord of Thirukkurungudi. He willhelp” said the princess.The whole sweet voice of the princess was soothingto him. Rather than the meaning of the words, the soundof the words themselves have touched his heart andfilled sweetness. It was like a small joy given bysomeone when one is under terrible distress.When he was thinking like that, suddenly the waterbirds where flying on the sky and leaving fast in herds.Suddenly there were sounds of war trumphets, drumsand many other devices (Nagaara, Dundhubhi, Ekkalam,

Semakkalam) all together. It was like a sea of sounds.Vallabha asked “Oh! Princess! Are you able to seeoutside? What is happening there? What flags are youable to see?”“Sir!, Sir!” called Princess Madhura several times. Latershe became silent and after some time she said “Sir!I have now chosen a nice place in the room and havesettled. I can see what is happening outside. Oh! Mygod! The whole fort is under siege. A sea of army isoutside the fort attacking it. Sir! Sir!, you asked aboutflags. I can see the flags of the army outside. Thereis embossing of Varaaha (Vishnu’s pig incarnation)in the flags. They must be the Vijyanagar army men.Correct? Only they have Varaaha in their flags. Correct?”enquired Madhura

“Yes, Yes princess! Who all have come? ” askedVallabha.“Sir!Sir!” Her voice was full of happiness. “Sir! Sir! Idon’t know who is who! I can see majestic commandersof the army mounted on horses. Each one of them ishaving a flag with Varaaha. All of them are wearing fullarmour. The horses are also wearing armour. They

look like strange animals!” said the Princess.

“Oh! Princess! Pricess!” interrupted Vallabha. “I am unlucky.I am unable to join them and break this fort of Sambuvaraya!Princess! My body is getting activated and enthused withthis and is longing to do this” said Vallabha.

In reply the Princess said “Sir! Don’t become emotionaland nervous. Don’t be a victim to anxiety. Please wait foropportune moment. The Lord had sent you here I think.If not I would have been in distress. It is good that youare with me and guarding me!” after than she shoutedwith some excitement “sire!...sire!... and later became silent.Vallabha was worried again. What could have happenedto her. Why did she become silent. What made her excited?Each second became an era for Vallabha. Later shecalled with a sweet voice ”Sire!”“What is the matter Princess?”“I was about to fall down from the parapet wall. Butsomehow I could protect my self and save back” repliedthe pricess.“Princess! Be careful! Save yourselves” responded

Vallabha.“I am now having good grip. I am able to see the warfront with good clarity. I can see the royal elephant withgoldenarmoury coming majestically. There is Varaahaflag on the top of the carrier (Ambaari) of the elephant.The horse men are standing around it with spears inhand protecting it. He must be the king riding theelephant”!? asked the princess.“Yes princess! He should be the king. Only he will comeon top of the elephant like that. Princess, I am unfortuane.Even I cannot see the war front. The walls of this roomare blocking me.“Sir! Don’t worry. I will look and keep you informed” saidthe princess.When she said it that way, somewhere he felt her touch

at the bottom of his heart.“The words, I will see and keep you informed made himfeel that she has linked him with her. There sounded akind of oneness feeling and trust in her voice. Did shetell this with such a sweet realization or did she utterthese words unconsciously?’ wondered Vallabha.

AHOBILAM AND AHOBILA MUTT - 46- M.V.Soundara Rajan

This is spring season and we have already begun towitness Brahmotsavams in various temples.Mahamakham recently concluded in Kumbhakonam,where we saw along with lakhs of devotees special

Brahmotsavams in all the temples there culminatingwith Chakrasnanam in Kaveri and Mahamakhasnanamsin Mahamakham tank. There are many templeBrahmotsavams in March-May time frame. At Ahobilamthe Brahmotsavam will be starting shortly. At ChilkurBalaji temple Brahmotsavam will be falling in the monthof April. In this context we would like to bring to thereaders of VAK a nice article from VEDANTA DEEPIKAI(SAMPUTAM 3, P84) on the Greatness of Brahmotsavamtitled BRAHMOTSAVA VAILAKSHANYAM.

BRAHMOTSAVA VAILAKSHANYAMIt is known to the whole world that for the welfare ofthe universe, Brahmotsavams are conducted with pompand glory by various devotee philanthropists in manytemples where Lord is resident as Archamurthy. It isdue to their great devotion and care that theseBrahmotsavams become glorious. For the benefit ofmankind Lord has bestowed these events without anygive away at almost all places where devotees exist.The Brahmotsavams are meant for many living beingswho cannot worship the Lord inside the temple dueto physical disabilities.

F™Ê \åÊ “ão N tÁDußzflÆoz nƒtuqå˘Ázƒ| ∫o! q™Áú“Á @ENw ufi™üz™∫ÃüƒÁ“\Á uƒƒwnƒ∫yƒyqmƒyuYÃãouo: @@(Oh Lord! When are these people going to be drenchedin flow of your looks out of compassion which will eliminatetheir tiresome coming out of life in this world- samsara).As described in the above sloka, Lord’s look during

the Brahmotsavas on all the living beings will bringin some respite to the living beings facing severaldifficulties in the worldly life (Samsara). Therefore weare grateful to the great souls who have institutionalizedand helped such opportunities to occur to the livingbeings who are looking for salvation and satisfactionof their purpose of life. However, in today ’sBrahmotsavam practices, are there components whichare able to provide us the differentiated experienceto the devotees as envisaged by the sages? It is anitem to examine. In this context, we are not getting asatisfactory answer. Although, in general, the currentday Utsavams are full of worldly glitter as per theallowance and attractions of current times which maybe tolerable, there are at least two main behavioral

items which are intolerable in front of the Lord andneed to be avoided:1. We have to show humility and egoless worship to

the Lord. In front of the Lord we have to surrenderour ego and desist discriminatory feelings. We needto understand that the Lord who is the master ofall has nothing as unachievable desire for him.There is nothing that Lord is going to benefit fromus. In front of him should we not eliminate thediscriminatory thinking of elite vs non-elite and goto him with full humility like we behave in front ofa king or an intoxicated elephant.

ÆsÁÆÏƒÁåÊ∫Á\ÁåÊÆsÁY™t“uÀoå Ê@? Lord is not looking for

any donations from us. He is only looking for

devotion. úfiÊ úÏ…ú Ê ¢ ¬Ê oÁzÆÊ ÆÁz ™z ßMnÆÁ üÆXZuo@ ot“Ê

ßMnÆÏú”o™»Áu™ üÆoÁn™å:@ It is said by the Lord inBhagavadgita, whoever offers Tulsi leaves, flowers,water with devotion I receive those offerings withaffection. When the Lord is expecting our devotion,should we become prey to anger, desire and egoand fight in front of him like animals and uncivilizedbeings spoiling the whole devotional atmosphere?should we go after false pride and receive all thehonours in front of the Lord? Should we demandfor VIP treatment in front of the Lord? Will the Lordbe happy with our behavior? Should we not allowequanimity of all devotees in front of the Lord? Shouldwe not display the natural sattva (humility) qualityof a devotee? Should we behave in a way eventhe uncivilized tribals appear more civilized than

us and resent our behaviours? Should we useintolerable language in front of the lord andphysically fight like animals? Should we forget ourdharma and think, speak or act in a deplorable way?A Bhagavatha (devotee) should never do this in hislife. These kind of non-devotee behaviours arecurrently displayed in the Utsavams recently. Theyneed to be avoided and we must display mutualbrotherhood and goodness behavior. We must letother devotees have darshan rather than us. Thiswill be a behavior honoured by the Lord.

2. During Brahmotsavams many devotees bring inmany selected and high quality materials for Lord ’spooja. If this is out of devotion, this is a very nicebehavior and will lead to Lord’s happiness. However,

if one brings them with a “show off” mindset anda mind set of his own sensual pleasures then thesemay not be appreciated by the Lord. We shouldavoid going after sensual pleasures duringBrahmotsavam and only focus on Lord as devotees.If the articles for pooja are pure as per shastrasthen even if they are brought with different intentions,since they are acceptable and pure it will not leadto a major sin for the person who brings it. If someoneforcibly tries to adore items not prescribed by Shastrato the Lord then it will become harmful to the personwho is responsible for this. There are instancesand practices of bringing in devadasis and goingafter them for sensual pleasures during theutsavams. These behaviors are deplorable. These

days even the learned scholars are turning a blindeye to these type of behaviours. They should alsocome forward to advise the devotees correctly.

Let us pray to Lord that in places where we go andhave his darshan during Brahmotsavam, he makesthe place devotional and remove the impurities of desire,anger and ego from the devotees so that we can havea nice Brahmotsavam as per Shastric practices.Dear VAK readers! The above was the English translationof an article which appeared in VEDANTA DEEPIKAI during1913. Even after more than 100 years we are seeingthe same behaviors. Let the above article open our eyesand make us good devotees. (To be continued)

NEWS Gold-rich temples weigh monetisation,

but ‘melting’ a dampenerThe gold can be deposited even in the jewellery form, butit gets melted and the value is determined after testingits purity.

As the government seeks to monetise gold worth anestimated USD one trillion lying idle, all eyes are on theirbiggest repositories — the temples — but many of themfear that ‘melting’ of the ornaments donated by devoteesmay hurt religious sentiments.Officials at a number of rich and famous temples acrossthe country said they may not be able to immediatelyparticipate in the scheme, while a few others said thescheme was worth exploring but a final decision was yetto be taken.For some temples, including Sree PadmanabhaswamyTemple in Kerala and the Shirdi Sai Baba temple inMaharashtra, the ongoing court cases are coming in theway.The interest remains lukewarm among major temples

in Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana and Rajasthan amongother states, while a few in Andhra Pradesh, West Ben-gal and Gujarat have shown initial interest.However, most of them are concerned about issues likeloss of value in the melting process and the religioussentiments of the devotees who donate gold ornamentsin the name of the deities of the respective temples.The Gold Monetisation Scheme, an ambitious initiativelaunched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month,aims to bring an estimated 22,000 tonnes of gold lyingidle with households, religious institutions and othersinto the financial system in return for a regular interestpayout and the market-linked appreciation value.The gold can be deposited even in the jewellery form, butit gets melted and the value is determined after testing

its purity. The depositor can choose an option to get backthe gold at a later date in the equivalent of ‘995 finenessgold or Indian rupees’ as they desire, but not in the sameform.Among various temples in Gujarat, the famous Ambajitemple has ruled out depositing its gold for the schemeat present, while Somnath temple has prepared a pro-posal in this regard and a final decision would be takenby its trustees.Dwarkadhish temple in Devbhumi Dwarka is yet to takea call, but the chairman of the temple trust committee HK Patel said the scheme was worth giving a thought.The famous Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai also ap-pears interested in exploring the scheme as it is lookingat options to utilise its 160 kg of gold reserves, out of

which about 10 kg is already deposited with a bank.The high-level Investment Committee of Tirumala TirupatiDevasthanams (TTD), which manages the world’s rich-est Hindu temple of Sri Venkateswara Swamy, will alsomeet soon to discuss the issue of depositing its goldunder this scheme.Kanakadurgamma Temple in Vijayawada, the secondrichest temple in Andhra Pradesh, however has no plansto participate in this scheme, while neighbouringTelangana government has not taken any decision asyet on participating in the Scheme.

Kanya Vandanam: Little Indian goddessChilkur: People need not to travel to far away templesand bow their heads to idols for seeking blessings. Theyhave Lakshmis, Saraswatis, Parvathis and Bala Tripurasundaris right near them. With this as theme, as part of

Nari Swabhiman Movement, on Friday 35 students ofGovt Primary School in Chilkur were honoured. As chiefguest, Chief archaka of Chilkur Balaji Temple Rangarajanapplied turmeric and parani to the little girls of the school.“Caste , creed and social status are all in the mind. Whenyour mind is free of such negative thoughts, every personis seen on the same level and every child is as preciousas your own,” said Rangarajan. Emphasising on the needto address the burning issue of female foeticide andtreatment of the girl child was the chief topic. Socialmedia, political greed, cultural references and modernday cinema has completely changed the true spirit ofthis motherland. This is the land where a girl child wasworshipped as a divinity. Ancient traditions believed thatby taking care of your girl child and promoting her health,

happiness and her spiritual being, are the biggestblessings from nature.India boasts of 940 females every 1000 males. But whereare those 60 unborn? And what kind of lives are the 940females living. Are they socially aware? Physically healthy,emotionally happy? Educated ? Spiritually enlightened ?What is the quality of their day to day life? These andmany other girl child related issues were discussed atthe event. True empowerment lies in the quality of life,we as a society provide the girl child. Is she beingvictimised? Tormented, traumatised and abused? Howcan we change the mindset of common man?Centuries of cheap, commercial and sexual referenceshas left a scar on the scared aura of feminity. Its hightime media, social platforms and all individuals erase

this negative propagation of women and bring to light,the true beauty behind dignity of respecting the wombwe owe our lives to. This initiative has been taken up by,CS Rangarajan ( Chief archaka of Chilkur Balaji Temple). Indeed a rare contribution of gender sensitive promotionfrom the most revered community of society.

(Metro India 13.2.2016)THIS TEMPLE HAS ALL-WOMAN TRUST BOARD

They won the hearts of villagers with their selfless serviceEven as eyebrows were raised when some womendevotees dared to break the age-old tradition of ‘No entryfor women’ at some places in the country and questionthe gender bias, Andhra Pradesh has become the firstState to have an all-woman trust board for a small, butpopular Sri Sitaramaswamy temple in Guntur district .

Though the presence of women on temple trust boardsis not rare, including the prestigious Tirumala TirupatiDevashanams board, this is the first time the villagers ofSingupalem and their sarpanch have decided to bestowthe responsibility of running the temple and developing itto the motley group of women.It was in recognition of their selfless efforts for the upkeepof the temple and its development through donationsfrom villagers.The six-member team led by 57-year-old S. Visalakshmitook oath on Wednesday to discharge their duties astrust board members for a period of two years. Thetemple, which did not have a trust board for the last 10

years, was managing to barely survive with meagreannual income of about Rs. 2 lakh that came from the15-acre land of the temple. The temple had no funds forits maintenance and, one day, the house of the templepriest too collapsed.It was then Ms. Visalakshmi, wife of a farmer, resolved to

do whatever she could to improve the temple with herown money about two years ago and slowly more women joined her.The women team managed to raise Rs.10 lakh entirelyfrom the villagers and their kin, besides Rs.50,000released by the Executive Officer Sambasiva Rao, andconstructed a small quarter with Rs.8.5 lakh for the templepriest. The rest of the amount was used for providingamenities such as tap connection with motor pumpset,inverter, replacing old electrical wiring, sprucing uppremises and decorating it. Happy with the support shegarnered from the villagers, Visalakshmi , chairpersonof the trust board, said that it was the collective effort.“Everyone in the village wanted our temple to be the bestone. Our temple is famous for the way we organise

Srirama Navami and Sita Kalyanam and other annualfestivals. Every household joins in the Srirama Navamifestivities and different rituals as if it ’s a wedding in theirown family.” Mr. Sambasiva Rao said that when theEndowments Department decided to revive the trustboard, it was sarpanch Premaji and village elders whoproposed to MLA Anagani Satyaprasad on constitution ofan all-women temple trust board. The MLA, in turn, took itup with Endowments Commissioner Y.V. Anuradha, whoinstantly agreed and issued the order on January 22.

(The Hindu 18-2-2016)6 WOMEN TEMPLE TRUSTEES

In a groundbreaking shift from age-old tradition, the trustboard of a temple in Repalle, Guntur district, now has sixwomen among its trustees, creating a history of sorts.

The Endowments Department has just re-constituted theBoard of Trustees for Sri Sitarama Swamy Temple inGuntur. Sajja Visalakshmi, Kolli Jayasree, Sajja Aparna,Yarlagadda Parijatham, Samudrala Raja Kumari andYarlagadda Rama Devi are the six women who wouldhelm the affairs of the temple.These six women are known for having collected aboutRs 10 lakh to construct the archaka quarters in the village.They also offered to collect more money for constructinga slab and for enhancing security in the temple. SambaSiva Rao, Executive Officer of the temple, said, “This isthe first time in the temple’s history and in the State thatsuch development has taken place and perhaps this isthe first time in the country too.”The initiative to nominate the women was taken by

Commissioner (Endowments) YV Anuradha. SajjaVisalakshmi, one of the six women appointed astrustees, said, “We are allowed to perform pujas and aretreated equally with men here. I am very grateful to allthose who believed in us and took this decision, ” shesaid. C S Rangarajan, a senior priest of Chilkur BalajiTemple in Hyderabad, said, “This is the first time in theTelugu states that such a decision has been taken.”He also said that it was a great decision taken by theState to give the management of a temple to women,especially when there is so much of debate going onabout the entry of women into the temples. This is agreat example of respecting the feminine gender, he said.

“The six ladies had collected money for constructingarchaka (priest) quarters. Even the biggest temples inthe country have not done something like this.The ladies have understood the importance of archakasand the need for looking after their welfare,” Rangarajanadded. The nomination of women as trustees is otherwise

viewed as a symbolic one, as temple authorities in ourcountry are usually perceived as conservatives who areardent believers of age-old traditions like barring womenfrom even entering some of the areas of temples,particularly the sanctum sanctorum.One such temple that did not strictly allow women tocome near the main idol to offer prayers until recently isthe famous Shani Shingnapur temple in Maharashtra.The shrine has always barred women from entering thesanctum sanctorum of the temple, where the rock idol ofLord Shani is installed. The temple’s trustees were inthe eye of a storm in November last year when a womanattempted to enter the area where the idol of Lord Shaniis installed. The ‘violation’ caused the trustees to perform‘purification rituals’ which kicked up a controversy and

outraged several women groups across the State.(Metro India News on February 18, 2016)SOLUTIONS FOR POSITIVE CINEMA

Telangana government to help raise the fundRangarajan wanted daily puja fund system beingimplemented at Chilkur Balaji temple to be followed inevery Hindu temple as it was approved by the SupremeCourtIn a statement, Rangarajan explained his areas of focusto redress the issues related to archakas. He said that awelfare fund of Rs 1,000 crore should be raised for thesake of archakas and requested President PranabMukherjee and the Telangana government to help raisethe fund. Efforts are being made to get a part of the fundfrom Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), he said.The TAS president said that the Samakhya will makeefforts to strengthen the rituals in the temples to ensureand retain due respect for the temple priests. In this

direction, the priests should be given training to excel inlanguage apart from Agama Sastra. Then only, the priestscould get their due respect in the society, Rangarajansaid.Provision of training on various aspects in addition to theagamas and improved ability to communicate in alanguage that the devotees can understand should betaken up so that each archaka can become a communityleader. Archakas need to be motivated and reformed sothat they can propagate the cult of devotion rather thanget more commercial and materialistic in nature.A congregated approach with devotion as commondenominator for their betterment should be plannedperiodically so that temples can be restored to past glory.Focus should be put on the remuneration aspect of

archakas which is pitiably low. The recommendation ofthe Committee on service issues of temple employeeswhich analysed the archaka remuneration threadbarehas to be implemented and in this regards theorganisation should play a very constructive role.One of the major recommendations of the committeewas for a very strong Dharmika Parishad to oversee theworking of the department as envisaged by the SelectCommittee and this should be pursued vigorously.Rangarajan wanted daily puja fund system beingimplemented at Chilkur Balaji temple should be followedin every Hindu temple as it was approved by the SupremeCourt.As a result of the puja fund system, income sources fortemples will be developed, thus improving the conditions

of the priests. He said the High Court Division Benchclearly articulated that temple income has been exemptedfrom income tax and the banks are making TDS oninterest from FDs. There is a need for the Samakhya totake necessary steps to stop this so that such moneycan be used for archaka remuneration and welfare, headded.Rangarajan said that the Samakhya will take active roleto ensure implementation of recommendations madeby pay-scale committee after discussing thoroughly onthe issue of temple employees. He said that the priestswere moving to courts challenging the EndowmentDepartment as there was no solution to the existing

problems. “It should be rectified as the priests areburdened financially,” he said.As part of the welfare of temple priests, the Samakhyawill ensure that benefits from Archaka Welfare Fund reachthe beneficiaries in a smooth way. Special initiatives mustbe taken to help the poorest of the poor among the priests

to get health benefits in view of increasing healthcarecosts. Rangarajan said that the Central governmentshould take steps to implement the Central EndowmentAct as per the recommendations made by CPRamaswamy Iyer Commission. The Samakhya will alsoexert pressure on the Centre to approve the Central TrustBill which was presented in the Lok Sabha in 1968,Rangarajan said. (Metro India 4-2-2016)
