If India is a secular country, why the GOM controls its finances? ( MM, 9/6/11) It should be left to the devotees to run the temple trust just like the SGPC – Shri Shiromani Guruwara Prabandhak Committee. The devotees of Siddhivinayak and other temples should take it up in the High Court and agitate, if necessary.
In the meanwhile, with donations reaching Rs.50 crore per annum, the temple trust should help Municipal Schools and Municipal Hospitals provide better education and better health to the poor in the city. It can adopt a few schools and hospitals in its vicinity to see its impact on he city's education and health.
