Dear Members, 
The temples in Tamil Nadu were built by the kings and all the temples were 
provided with enough lands by the kings to cater to the day to day poojas, 
Uthsavams and other related celebrations in the temples. They were actually 
centres providing employment to all categories of people like Vadyagars etc. 
But now most of the temples are without any land as their lands  have been 
swallowed by the politicians. This process was started when the present ruling 
party assumed power for the first time in the state. Most of the temples are 
now run by the locals. It looks as though the present order is to weed out the 
qualified preists and bring their own kith and kin to finish off whatever is 
left in the temples.

Dear Memebers
The Government of Tamil Nadu has approved the order to make any 
'qualified' person to become archaka. There is a long way to go, of 
course. First it needs to be published and objections obtained from 
public. Then the implementation.For that the Govt. has to find 
institutions to 'qualify' 'anyoneq' Questions as to where are such 
insitutions, 'who' will teach and 'what' are the qualifications. To 
do that the Govrnment as in other cases, would form Commitee and 
everyone knows what happens to the Commitees and their 
recommendations. Assuming recommendations do come, litigations on 
them are not ruled out. When the question of which Thiruman should 
adore the elephant takes ages in the Court one can imagine the web 
of legal battle on these issues. In the meantime the Govt. will 
have a thousand other day to day problems to face than to run after 
qualifiying 'anyone' for the job of the lacklusture priesthood.
At the end of the day, the malady lies in the temples being 
under the Government. The day the HR and CE ministries were 
contemplated the wisemen like Rajaji and others should have 
resisted and stopped that move. The damage has been done and which 
ever Government comes here after, the issue would remain alive for 
reasons other than real interest to implement. In the meantime the 
existing practice would be continuing.
