Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev launches 100 tweet campaign seeking freedom of Tamil Nadu temples from Government control

Saints have to organise protests to free the temples from Government control – this is disgraceful for the Hindus.

It is the religious duty of every Hindu to keep trying till all the temples across the country are released from the clutches of various Governments.

New Delhi – Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev launched a ‘100 tweets’ Twitter campaign to make people aware of the dilapidated condition of temples in Tamil Nadu.

1. Sadhguru said in his tweet, “#FreeTNTemples – a Movement born of deep Anguish. Today I am putting 100 tweets, not to browbeat anybody, but just out of deep pain. Anguished cry of the community must be heard.”  In a statement he said, “Due to the unfortunate legacy that the predatory East India Company left us with, the Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu continue to be in the control of the Government. This has led to the deterioration and suffocation of glorious Tamil traditions. The HR&CE (Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department) which holds 44,121 of temples in the state told the Madras High Court that 11,999 temples have no revenue to even perform a daily puja.”
2. In a video tweeted from his official Twitter handle “It is heartrending to see these great works of art, the very Soul of Tamil Culture, the very Heart of the Tamil People, the very source of the Devotion which has nurtured this land, nurtured this language, nurtured our arts and crafts…everything! Everything that is Tamil is rooted in devotion, and the fulcrum of this devotion is Temple. Today, seeing them in such a pathetic state, where thousands of them are in ruins, unattended to, and others moving in that direction – it is time these temples are freed.”
