Have comprehensive view of facts, before you talk or write by M Udaya Sankara Rao on 05 Jan 2010

Dear Sirs, Any Hindu temple having an annual income equal or more than Rs. 4 lakh is taken by the government in the name of ENDOWMENT DEPARTMENT. Why in a SECULAR country in India the people of other religions object to disclose their income and join the same Endowment Department as all are Temples. The real FACT is known to everybody. When the Parliament wanted to discuss thefunds received by Chiristian Missionaries and the utilisation aspect, even Mother Teressa objected to such a debate. Is it not an open fact that Mahatma Gandhi also deliberately criticised tshe conversions of Hindus to Chiristian fold in the guise of Hospitals and Schools. Pope Himself got treated by Doctors but not healed by Prayer sessions (we should remember). So, Brethern, you can not cheat a society for long. Definitely Christian missionaries convert poor people by such low means. We protest it tooth and nail.

My dear Viswandhav, No christian priests or a christian lay man try to convert anyone to christianity. why should they do that. yes They are helping the needy, educating the savage, feeding the hungry.. Somuch money is been collected in Balaji, Sabrimala, Palani or any other hindu temples in the name of God, Why cant they utilize those money for the poor. If they do it, no hindus will change their relition. and these poor people change their religion themself in order to be a true human and follow the idiology of christianity,

Balaji Temple by D.A.Eswar on 04 Jan 2010

Mr. Kumar doenot know there is Sri venkateswara University, Educational Insitutions and free food offered at Tirupathi. Govt. of AP actually uses TTD funds for development works and infrastructure. Chrisitan Intitutions are known for conversion of Hindus in to Chrisitans . Entire world knows except people like Kumar.

Dear Aks u are the average ignorant indian who does not know anything. As far as i know the complete funds of Sabrimala and all temples in kerala are directly handled into the GOVERNMENT TREASURY and fully under government control ( just to fool the people they have formed a DEVASAM BOARD) which is actually the Bank of Kerala govt. Please try to get better information before comming to conclusions.

RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE by Niranjan on 02 Feb 2009

WHEN THE SITUATION WILL BE REVERSED AND OUR TEMPLES AND PRIESTS ABROAD WILL BE ATTACKED, WE WILL BE HELPLESS BECAUSE NO GOVT. WILL HELP US. THOSE DAYS WILL COME WHEN OUR VERY GRAND TEMPLES IN USA WILL CATCH THE EYES OF THE COMMON PEOPLE WHO WILL WONDER HOW COME OUR TEMPLES ARE SO GRAND! THEN?

Religious Violence by viswanadhvv on 02 Nov 2009

Dear Niranjan, If by distributing food and clothing and then money if our priests in USA and UK try to convert them to Hinduism, I myself would suggest the western friends to beat-up those priests. I do not think our priests are trying to convert those people as being done by the Christian Missionaries in INDIA, Kindly try to use your VIVEKAM to discriminate the reality from unreal, the truth untruth.

Dear Aks: You are a stupid! by Ashwin on 04 Jan 2010

Dear Aks: You are a stupid. The money from the temples are taken by the government, but they don't take it from the churches since they want the vote from the so called SECULAR fellows. India didn't have any issues from the religion point of view. It all started when this missionaries came to INDIA.
