India is a country of temples
Even today crores of rupees are wasted after construction of temples.
The idea is not to oppose anyone's belief or faith However, when God resides within us,
For Him why this colossal waste?
God, who abandoned His kingdom and His immense wealth, does not need pompous, artistic or grand temples to place his deity inside.
This is utter mismatch.
When a deity is consecrated in a temple which resembles a palace, it appears as though He who has abandoned his palace is forced again to stay in a palace.
God appears better clad in simplicity.
How would Gandhiji look in branded outfits? Does the Lord of simplicity need palatial temples?
