Dear Sekhar,
Now-a-days peoples dont find time to visit and have
darshan of Lord in a leisure manner. As like their
busy
work
schedule, they want to have a quick darshan and
leave the temple
immediately. Only because of this,
there is lot of problems in all the
temples whether
its
a Thirupathi or any small temple. According
to
adiyEns'
view, this trend should be changed. Everyone from the
family has to visit the temple often in leisure, and
spend the whole
day in any divyadesam by remembering
that divyadesa vaibhavam or alwars
pasurams.
But if you ask personally to any peoples they will
tell,
there is no time to spend leisure way in temples
as they were engaged
with some works. So, fault is not
only with archkAs or temple
authorities. The fault is
also with the peoples coming to have
darshan.
The second reason is that, in the olden days, the
temples
ran without any financial problems due to
generous offering from publics
and the government. But
now, the situation is worse. Except for some of
the
divyadesams like Sri Rangam, Thirupathi, most of the
divyadesams
were depending upon the donors
(ubayadhArar's) of high-class peoples
Hence whenever,
those persons visit the corresponding temples,
the
archakAs has to pay their due respects to those
donors.
One
incident happened in thirukadalmallai divyadesam
(adiyEns
place).
While some peoples were standing in queue for
darshan,
one donor with his family members came to temple for
darshan. Immediately, the archakAs responded them and
done all
upachArams and explained clearly the
importance of divyadesam and offered
prasAdams. By
watching this, the person who stood in the line,
commented that, ?archakAs will do service only for
rich
peoples, and
they are also longing for money!?.
Upon hearing this, the archaka
replied ?They had done
many kainkaryam to this temple including Utsavams,
nandavanam maintenance etc.,. Hence we gave respects
to
them when
they visit this temple. Why can't you stand
for sometime?, since you
came to have darshan of
Lord.? The peoples has to appreciate those who done
some kaimkaryams in running the temples. Adiyen
requests the public to
appreciate the peoples who
involved in servicing the temples like
sponsoring the
utsavams, poojas etc.,
One more common incident in
this divyadesam
(thirukadal
mallai) is that, here the temple authority
used to
charge for the entrance, since this (Mahabalipuram) is
a
tourist place. The motive behind this is that, this
may helpful in running
the temple for giving salaries
to workers, maintenance etc.,. But when the
tourists
asked for the entrance tickets, immediately they will
reciprocate and started commenting ?why should I pay
money for
entering into the temple? This is very
uncommon and should not be followed
in temples?. Only
these kind of poeples will comment, if any donors is
given respects inside the temple by the archakAs.
The peoples
doesnt have patience in waiting in queue
for some time. Always in hurried
! Hurried!!
Hurried!!!
Adiyen couldnt find any, and what they are going
to
achieve in this hurried world except having darshan of
Lord?
AdiyEns suggestions:
Why cant we utilise the waiting time in queue
for
chanting his namAs or remembering his kalyAna gunAs.
When adiyEn
stood in a queue, adiyEn could find the
peoples chatting all except about
emperumAn's lilAs or
nAmAs. Instead of watching around and cursing
others
of
their misbehaviour, utilise the most valuable time in
HIS
place by remembering his nAmA,swaroopam or lilAs.
Thank HIM for HIS grace
on bringing us to have darshan
during our life.
A good example
is that, in life of VivekAnandar, when
he was a boy and resides in
Ramakrishna Paramahamsar
ashram, VivekAnandar was chatting with his
friends.
At that time, Ramakrishna Paramahamsar entered there
and asked
about their discussions. They replied that,
they were commenting about the
boy who is not good!.
Immediately Ramakrishnar says that "Who is good
in
this
world? Everyone is weak in certain issues. Thats why
we took
rebirth in this dark world. DONT WASTE YOUR
VALUABLE TIME IN FINDING FAULT
WITH OTHERS!!. Utilise
by remembering the God always. Once the time lost,
we
cant retrieve it."
Actually the peoples thronging to the temple
DO NOT
follows certain rules like:
1)Those who come with
children's, they let their child
play inside the temple premises,
making sound, cry
inside the sanctum.
2)Sometimes adiyEn could watch
their parents bring
their cellphones inside the temples.
3.Even if we
see someone writing on the walls, we are
least bother about the things
happening. Many times
when adiyEn had darshan of Sri RengaNAchiyAr at Sri
Rangam, could see peoples writing (drawing?!) on the
walls or pillars
with the Manjal prasAdham. They dont
know about the value of that
prasAdham. Many times
adiyEn adviced such kind of peoples and let them
know
the value of that.
Like the above we can point out many such
issues with
the devotees who throng to the
temples.......
Finally adiyEn would advice that, please dont waste
your valuable time inside the temples, as we cant go
and have darshan
daily in temples like Sri Rangam ,or
Thirupathi, etc., REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS
THANK HIM
ALWAYS.
AdiyEn,
