(Querist) 08 June 2015 This query is : Resolved 
Respected Sir,

I am from a Town which is near to Chennai. In our town one famous temple is there , after renovation work on the temple, the Consecration ceremony held on yesterday.

the day before yesterday it self i and all other devotees were went to the temple as usual.

the Consecration ceremony planed on 7-6-2015 at 5.15 to 6.15 am

the temple authorities were kept so many banners of advertisement, which show that the Consecration ceremony held on 7-6-2015 at 5.15 to 6.15 AM ,all the devotees are welcome.

Before temple Consecration ceremony, it has some events which starts from early morning 2.00 am , this will also know by the temple authorities and devotees like us.

So I and some of the daily visiting devotees were went on 7-6-2015 at 2.15 am to participate from the beginning event ,when we enter the gate the police men asked the Badge of the temple.

I and other daily devotees were refused to go inside the police men told that the temple authorities were directed no one will be allowed with out temple badge till 8.30 am.

I and the daily devotees were surprised and we are not allowed to enter into the temple
which means the temple authorities were given temple badges only for VIP for entry to the temple, not for the public.

As per the temple authorities direction the police men were not to allowed the public into temple till 8.30 am .

even after finishing Consecration ceremony the public like us were allowed to the temple.

The temple authorities did not informed this to the public so the public like us came to the temple from 3.00 am onwards but the ordinary devotees like public were not event allowed to enter in to the temple till the Consecration is over.

This is not fair that the temple authorities were planned to celebrate the Consecration ceremony with only VIPs and avoiding the public till the Consecration ceremony is over till 8.30.

The right of ordinary devotees like public,
were restrained with out giving any prior notice.

Now I request to get your advice

1)This type of temple authorities behaviour is good or not.

2)Whether the law supports this type of anti public activity.

3)This type of situation will not come here after in any temple ,so what type of action is recommended by you.

Note : The temple has so many VIP Contacts so they think that they can refuse the public no one question them.

Kindly provide the information which will help the public

what temple authorities have to say.

Whether the temple is being administered by private parties or Endowment Department? Indian courts are already burdened. They are not in a position to take up the many cases which are important in nature and poses life and death question to the parties. Better you ignore this type of things and do not prompt litigation as you will not fetch anything out of it except wasting money, energy and time.

Whether you were interested to become a part of the ceremony or wanted to perform puja / worship?

Practically we should not conflict for ego or otherwise at a place where we worship. We go for devoting and for blessings and let others manage the functions / management.

Spiritually god is not the property of temple men, it is of all.

For the shake of faith we should always forget such events of mismanagement.
