Welcome to the commercial zone #Meenakshi temple

Can you feel peace,devotion,silence&positive energy when you enter into a temple?

In case,you feel disgusted when you have been encountered by some sort of  nasty things there..then what happens next?

Oops!!This blog post was born.. :-)  


Meenakshi Temple,one of the prestigious wonders of the entire lot gives Madurai-a separate place in the elite historical club.


But...................................................
Last week....I went to this temple and was standing in the queue..There was a digital board scrolling such as.....................



Money has acquired the new power of marketing god in the form of Dharshan...
Paying Rs 50/100 and worshiping nearer to god and paying much more and worship even lot closer seems so awkward..


 This practice even affects the pride of Meenakshi temple and makes me so sad,especially as a Maduraite..
 The transformation of an orthodox&conservative temple to a commercial temple is so indigestible..
I emphasize another thing....the so called "Poojaris"....
When you do not give any offerings to them( Soodam thattu kaanikkai),u immediately gets discriminated...
Also at the temple shop(Kovil Kadai)....the cost of a particular item is double that of the shops in Puthumandapam..

On the contrary lets overlook the Chidambaram temple...The temple under DHEEKSHITHARS...
Equality is maintained at all cost...A hundiyalless temple always is so special.The feel of going to this temple soothes.

In these two equally poised temples...somethings are unavoidable...but somethings..sometimes...I can't bear too...

Temple is a place for worshiping and certainly not for money making..
