Why must State Govts Control Temple Funds in a Secular State

[Guest guest]

Namaskar Mitra,

 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said (Art of Living Foundation), "There are as many as

2,07,000 temples in Karnataka and the total income of these temples amounts to

Rs 72 crore only a sum of Rs. 6 crores is being spent by the Government for

their upkeep. On the other hand, the Government spent a phenomenal amount of

Rs.50 crores for the madrasas and Rs.10 crores for the churches, and for the

Hindu temples only a partly sum of Rs.6 crores is being spent". (quote from

Arsha Vidya Newsletter of Dec 2003)
