Chapter 3. Karma-yoga - TEXT 5
As Arjuna enquires, Krsna now explains -
"na hi kascit ksanam api
jatu tisthaty akarma-krt
karyate hy avasah karma
sarvah prakrti-jair gunaih"
PURPORT : It is not a question of embodied life, but it is the nature of the soul to be always active. Without the
presence of the spirit soul, the material body cannot move. The body is only a dead vehicle to be worked by the spirit
soul, which is always active and cannot stop even for a moment. As such, the spirit soul has to be engaged in the good
work of Devotional Services, otherwise it will be engaged in occupations dictated by illusory energy. In contact with
material energy, the spirit soul acquires material modes, and to purify the soul from such affinities it is necessary
to engage in the prescribed duties enjoined in the sastras.
Inspired by Scholars, Preached by Priests and Supported by you
- 42000 devotees. Protectchilukurubalajitemple.com encouraged taking
up Devotional Services. A volunteer organization to protect and
perform Dhupa Dheepa Naivedhyam (incense Sticks, lighting lamps,
offerings to deity) in all those 32000 temples which are in dire
situation.
Temples are our only institutions where Traditions, Culture and
spiritual discourses are preached. From the ancient period temples
holding prime role in preserving and teaching lifestyle and also
played vital role in providing education, medical, moral values.
Temples are cultural centers which have kept our traditions alive
and introduce devotion and faith to generations after generations.
We have seen God in its idols, got peace in its environment.
The noblest element in a person is brought out by the technique
of spiritual living. It is, thus, not a question of option left
to people or a theme to be discussed as to whether it is necessary
or unnecessary, for it is the only meaning of all existence. Temples
that teach this science and art of life are the spiritual organisations
of the world and their existence is naturally a 'must' for the benefit
and the peace, plenty and prosperity of mankind.
Due to some departments and few selfish people motives temples have
become commercials centers few are totally destructed rest are closed.
Endowment department, a Frankenstein created by us, whose methodology is leading to dilution
of the sanctity, and piety of the temples. Authority in hands of different undeserving people
(Government) who are just doing their duty as a profession at temples than having bondage with
the temple has only created complexities, negligence leading to mismanagement.
These being reasons today 32000 temples are dire situation, minimum aradhana (rituals) like Dhupa, Dheepa,
Naivedhyam are not performed.
Let us join hands for sake of Hinduism
serve Temples, save Tradition.
Aims and objectives of Dharma Samsthapana.
1. Adopting temples which are in dire condition and maintain minimum
rituals like Dheepa, Dhupa, Naivadhyam.
2. Support to Archakas, those who are in ominous condition and quitting
Archakathwam due inactivity of Temples.
3. Prevent Hindus conversions into other religions. Organizing Spiritual
and cultural value awareness programs for youth to avoid them in
involving in antisocial elements.
