Driven by the wisdom of scholars, preached by devoted priests, and supported by worshippers worldwide, www.protectchilukurubalajitemple.com (2004) champions the cause of Devotional Services. It stands as a volunteer organization committed to safeguarding and performing Dhupa, Deepa, and Naivedhyam rituals in the many temples that find themselves in dire straits, numbering a staggering 32,000.
Temples hold a unique place in our society as they are not just places of worship but institutions that preserve and propagate our traditions, culture, and spiritual wisdom. Since time immemorial, temples have played a pivotal role in shaping our way of life, providing education, healthcare, and instilling moral values. They serve as cultural hubs that have kept our rich heritage alive, passing down devotion and faith from one generation to the next. In the tranquil ambiance of temples, we have found solace and a connection to the divine through the sanctified idols.
The noblest element in a person is brought out by the technique of spiritual living. It is, thus, not a question of option left to people or a theme to be discussed as to whether it is necessary or unnecessary, for it is the only meaning of all existence. Temples that teach this science and art of life are the spiritual organisations of the world and their existence is naturally a 'must' for the benefit and the peace, plenty and prosperity of mankind.
Unfortunately, due to various factors, including government involvement and self-serving interests, temples have been reduced to commercial centres. Some have been destroyed, while others lie dormant. The Endowment department, which we ourselves have inadvertently created, has further eroded the sanctity of these sacred places. The appointment of individuals who lack a genuine connection with the temple has led to complexity, negligence, and mismanagement
As a result, today, a staggering over 32,000 temples in both Telugu states are in dire straits, with even the basic rituals like Dhupa, Deepa, and Naivedhyam going unperformed.
It is imperative that we unite in the name of Hinduism to save our temples and preserve our traditions.
Let us join hands for sake of Hinduism save Temples, save Tradition.
