If temples are turned into places to bless people for becoming successful in material ambition then how can this be called " to extinguish the fire of conditional life of repeated birth and death?" Lord Caitanya's mission is to save us from repeated birth and death, to take us out of this material ocean and not to become successful within this material ocean.
"I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet."
Yes. No place for doing puja's for automobiles as mentioned above. What a load of superstious crap. If you want to bless the energy that is your car juat use it in Krishna's service. No higher blessing is possible for anything or anyone.
