* There are as many as 2,07,000 temples in Karnataka & the total income of

these temples amounts to 72 crores. Out of this, only a sum of 6 crores are

being spent by the Government for their upkeep. On the other hand, the Govt.

spend a phenomenal amount of Rs 50 crores for the madrassas & Rs 10 crores

for the churches (from Govt. funds) In a period of 5 years 50,000 temples

will be closed for the want of funds. --Sri Sri Ravishankar *

* Temples in India are under Government control. Only 18% of revenue

generated is said to be given back for temple purposes, while remaining 82%

is used for other purposes by Govt. at their discretion, by massive sale of

temple lands, demolitions, lootings, encroachments occurring all over AP,

Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, etc. As a community it is our

duty to protect temples to save our religion, culture, arts and traditions.

* Funds are used for awareness campaigns and legal expenses. Several illegal

sales of temple lands were challenged in High Court and put on hold. Kamal

Kumar Swami of GHHF walked 3500 Kms (padayatra) visiting temples in hundreds

of villages bringing awareness to more than a million people. It culminated

at Tirupathi in Jan 2008 attended by 12,000 and was covered extensively in

the media. Currently he is on 2nd padayatra for 5000 Kms bringing awareness

to 10 million, culminating at Tirupathi on Feb 16, 2009. Prominent saints

such as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Swami Dayananda Saraswati along with more than

50,000 people are expected to attend at Tirupathi. Future action plan is to

challenge this discriminatory law in Supreme Court.
