Sri Sri Ravi Shankar demands committee of spiritual leaders to manage temples amid prasadam row

Speaking on the Tirupati Laddu Prasadam row, spiritual leader and founder of The Art of Living, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said, "We have read in history books how in 1857, the sepoy mutiny happened. And now we see how the sentiments of Hindus are deeply wounded by this laddu. This is something which cannot be pardoned, it cannot be forgiven. It's malicious and it is the height of greed of people who are involved in this process. So, they need to be punished severely. All their assets should be seized & they should be put in jail, whoever is remotely involved in this process...We need to check not just the laddu but every food product. What about the ghee that is available in the market? Is anyone checking what they are putting in it? All those who adulterate food & put the mark that it is vegetarian and put any sort of non-veg stuff in it, should be very strictly punished...For the Temple management, we need to see that it is under the supervision of saints, swamis and spiritual leaders...We need to have a committee of spiritual leaders - both north and south, they should oversee. Let there be a person from the government side as well but he has to be playing a minor role. But major decisions, supervision and everything should be done by religious boards like SGPC, like the Muslim body, like Christians body..."

Hope and pray Swamiji's words come true! Hindus need to wake up!!!

[santosh]

Culprits should be taken to court and prosecuted

[happybuddha]

The government should be dragged to court! If they are managing all the temples, then they have failed !

[Nishkala-bssx]

Gurudev is right. Free hindu temples!!! Also if this were any other religion, there would be much outrage about minority. Why are we hindus sleeping? Not enough salt in food.
