Have u ever been to Tirupati - Lord Balaji Temple OR even the Sai Baba temple at Shirdi. What is the first sight that greets you. The hymns and calmness of the temple OR the shouts of the agents who ask you for a room, or money for quick darshans.
Personally i feel that temples should have some calmness around them so that people going in there do not feel that they have come to be looted or more so being pestered. Everything is viewed in terms of money, agreed that money is important but why do we call temples as temples?
Everywhere there are blalant misuse of money and the rates demanded. The agents think that they are the only one from whom we can get help and no one else. All this happens under the nose of temple authorities but well who takes notice...they also get commission.
Every temple today is a way of making quick bucks and not to satisfy a devotee. What one expects is a calm and sancit environment with peace of mind. But i doubt if anyone gets it.
I dont want to continue on the topic as it gets more dirtier day by day and i dont want to hurt anyones' sentiments !
This scene of commercialization has changed my mindset about such big temples.
