Numerous Public meetings, expert debates, maha padayatras and propaganda for protecting temple were hosted. As a result of the persistence and selfless efforts by devotees globally, Supreme Court conferred the AUTONOMOUS STATUS to Chilkur Balaji Temple.
But its NOT the END, our struggle still continues for total liberation all Temples. Temple money should be USED for Temple Development ONLY.
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.
Let us join hands for sake of Hinduism
save Temples, save Tradition.
Aims and objectives of Dharma Samsthapana.

The Temple
The presence of Omni potent and Omni present power of lord is depicted in the form of an IDOL and the same is sanctified and installed as a deity by Yaga, Homa, Veda, Mantra, Yantra rituals at the place where we all call a temple. Regular performance of rituals, chanting of Vedas and sacred Mantras, offerings to the deity by praying will enhance energy within the Temple and also it will be contributed among the devotees who pray seeking bliss and peace into their lives.
Role of a Temple in the Society
Most cities in India were built by Kings, architects and craftsmen were ordered to build a temple first and then roads, drinking water wells and other amenities to raise a city. Temples were not only meant as places for worship but also thrived as institutions of Tradition, Culture and Spiritual awareness. Various discourses on these subjects were enjoyed by popular at large. The Temple premise held prime role in preserving and teaching lifestyle and also played vital role in providing Education, Medicine, Nourishment, Hospitality and Moral values.
Temples are the Cultural Centers
Temples were cultural centers, keeping our traditions and arts alive such as Burra Katha, Hari Katha, Classical Dances, Stage Plays, etc. and introduce devotion and faith to generations after generations. A temple is the source of power, source of solace, source of knowledge not only to the self but to the society, community, locality, region, and to the Nation. In one word the temple is a treasury, the idea that we were contributing to the temple was actually a reversal of temple contributing to the populace for social good.
Temples the Scientific hubs
The Konark Surya Bhagawan Temple in Orissa, Guruvayoor Sri Krishna temple in Kerala, Sri Ranganathaswamy temple in Srirangam, Sri Subramanya Swamy temple in Tiruchandur, Musical Pillars of Vittahala Temple in Hapmi, Floating Pillars of Veerabdhra Temple in Anantapur and the Thousand Pillar temple in Warangal many other ancient temples have been known to be the hub of scientific studies. The Architecture, Scientific, Meteorology, etc. secrets still remain mystical for present Hi-technology Scientists.
