Temple administration not government’s job: Sri Sri

Opposing any move towards acquisition of temples by a

government, spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar has

said that if such a step was indispensable, it must

not apply only to places of worship of any one

religion.

 

“It is not the government’s job to look after the

administration of temples.

 

Moreover, if those in power think that it is a

necessity, they must take care not to give an

impression that the government is interfering in the

matters of sacred places of only one religion,”

Ravishankar told media persons in Allahabad on Sunday

night.

 

The spiritual guru, who was in Allahabad to attend the

last rites of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi of Transcendental

Meditation fame, also said that incorporating

spirituality into modern education was the only answer

to the ills plaguing the world ‘like terrorism,

casteism, parochialism and shocking instances of

people with brilliant academic and professional

careers getting involved in heinous crimes.’Recalling

fondly his five-year-long association with Mahesh

Yogi, he said: “I owe my spiritual advancement to the

encouragement I received from him in my early youth.”

 

Ravishankar also blamed farmers’ suicides in various

parts of the country on ‘environmental degradation

brought about by mindless use of chemical fertilizers’

and said his Art of Living Foundation was working

towards promoting organic farming by actively

involving itself in 30,000

villages.http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/feb/11sri.htm
