I have been thinking to put down why #FreeHinduTemples is important, with the story of @srigokarna temple!!
The thread may look bit lengthy, but it is very important for all of us to understand why it is important.
Deity & devotee: is temple! No role for govt here!

.@VVV_University is coming up with such a vision & is making an honest effort to bring in the forgotten knowledge forms to forefront again!
Let us support it & give a try once more to bring back Takshashila - the knowledge rich university!

High time we change education system - study our own ancient subjects - which are believed to be far more advanced than present day science-commerce -arts -political forms!
Let's go to our roots,let's enrich our nation -in turn the world with right knowledge - & humanity!

Why we are holding on to such education still? For the jobs! But there is this shocking study which says - children will not even have right skills with this education in few years! Which MNC will hire such a resource in their company? It is alarming!

Even though we want, most of us can't! Take me for example - I don't know our own language - Sanskrit in which most of our ancient work is there! How can I imagine to study it when I don't know the basics?
Ironically, I have to rely upon 'English' to tell these!

Our education system was completely destroyed by British and we still are holding on to it! We are not even considering to go back to our roots - to our ancient scriptures!
(Thanks to NEP, hoping it will try to change it)

But then we realized it and we started to fight against it
Finally, after the years, we indeed got our 'Independence' back as a nation; but is it in real sense?

That was their plan; they wanted to make us dumb, backward, poverty rid Nation to bring the nation into their rule - the path they chose to this was to break our culture and unity!
The result - we let them do it!

Look at the words of Macaulay:
They came as traders; we let them as atithi devo bhava - that was our culture! But we didn't realize their wickedness to rule us until our own culture started getting destroyed!

But when they came to our land while exploring world, they were stunned by richness; saw how civilized we were;saw how good our society was; saw how brilliant we were!
This induced them the urge of ruling us - the greatest of greatest nation - Bharat!

This was the fate of Bharat and us! This was the time when we, our country and our culture was invaded by foreigners!
They wanted money; they had a wrong assumption that they were great, they started the civilization!

There was slavery everywhere; there was racism everywhere; there was no freedom to live the way we want on our own land - not just for a few days or months, but for centuries!

.@srigokarna ದಲ್ಲಿನ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳ ಪರ್ವ:
ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಾಧಾರದಂತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಪೂರ್ವ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ರೂಢಿ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ದಿನ ನಿತ್ಯದ ಪೂಜೆಯನ್ನು ಮೂರು ಹೊತ್ತಿನ ಬಲಿ, ಪ್ರಾಯಶ್ಚಿತ ಹೋಮದೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಡೆಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. "
Finally, @srigokarna is a classic example of why temples shd not be handled by Govt!
Development-revival of age-old traditions etc have been done and continued to do by
@ShankaraPeetha now. Look at the standards set in Cleanliness & Quality benchmarks set
