There are 2,07,000 temples in Karnataka and the total income of these temples are Rs 72 crores. Only Rs. 6 crore is spent by government for temples, 50 crores for the madrasas and 10 crores for the churches, 6 crore for other activities. In a period of 5 years 50,000 temples closed for the want of funds --Sri Sri Ravishankar

Temples in India are under Government control. Only 18% of revenue generated is said to be given back for temple purposes, while remaining 82% is used for other purposes by Govt. at their discretion, by massive sale of temple lands, demolitions, lootings, encroachments occurring all over AP, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, etc. As a community it is our duty to protect temples to save our religion, culture, arts and traditions.

What are the funds used for?

Your donations are used for supporting our massive efforts to protect our religion and save temples. Funds are used for awareness campaigns and legal expenses. Several illegal sales of temple lands were challenged in High Court and put on hold. Kamal Kumar Swami of GHHF walked 3500 Kms (padayatra) visiting temples in hundreds of villages bringing awareness. It culminated at Tirupathi in Jan 2008 attended by 10,000. Currently he is on 2nd padayatra for 5000 Kms to end in Tirupathi in Feb 2009 with large crowds, bringing attention to the plight of Hindu Temples to devotees, media and the Govt. Future action plan is to challenge this discriminatory law in Supreme Court of India.
