NEW DELHI: The famous Nataraja temple in the town of Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu will be managed by priests and not by the state government, the Supreme Court on Monday ordered.
A bench of justices B S Chauhan and S Bobde set aside the order of the Madras high court which had in 2009 transferred the administration of the 1000-year-old Lord Shiva temple to the government.
The apex court passed the order on appeals filed by the temple's priests and BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.
Swamy contended that an attempt was made after Independence to bring the temple administration under State control in August 1951 but the Supreme Court had held that the Podu Dikshitars had a right to administer the temple as a religious denomination.
Referring to the provisions of Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, Swamy had submitted, "Section 107 specifically bars the application of the Act to institutions coming under the purview of or enjoying the protection of Article 26 of the Constitution."
He contended that if there were allegations of misappropriation of temple's property then it should be dealt with under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and not by taking over the temple administration.
The state government in 1987 had appointed an official to manage the endowments and considerable assets and property owned by the temple.

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteVery proud of you. Infact it was a life time opportunity to see you at the Rotary function at Goa on 19th January. Sir last week there was an article inthe local daily of govt taking over the famous pandharpur Vitthal temple. Last november when i visited my experience was very bad. There was no basic sanitation in place the other temples are totally in bad shape and the prist were like extortionist. I also read on the net that the administation have sold hundreads of acres of temple land. The onlyvhope is you to look into this and bring a general law bringing in transperency.
Love from Goa
Prashant Nayak
please post Judgement copy with us
ReplyDeleteThanks
Fantastic Dr Swamy. Unfortunately, the mainstream media deos not cover such news or if they do, it is often a passing note. I honestly believe, there should be some kind of Hindu Temple protection committee, to which we can contribute some money and protect our temples which represent more than religion a sense of freedom
ReplyDeleteDr.Swamy, I am a great fan of yours and one who thinks India needs more men like you in politics.
ReplyDeleteI think they have had enough of actors and dynasties . If India is to go forwards it needs to have a real brainwash.
Kep it up I am always your supporter.
Sir,
ReplyDeletesome of bjp leaders like l k advani and susma swaraj are making some ridiculous comments on telanganaa , sir I am telling you, this will effect the party in telangana . In entire south india telangana is the only region where the bjp has some what cadre after karnataka . pls try to help the telanagana people by supporting the bill in parliament , pls dont play politics and dont even listen chandrababu naidu , he is a crook.
Great Mr. Swamy. You are one politician that Indians remember forever. Please do the following and we shall support you with whatever we can do:
ReplyDelete1. Changing the name of our country from India to Bharat.
2. Delinking govt and political parties from governing the Hindu religious institutions and it shall start with Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam.
3. Making Sanskrit as the Nation's Mother Tongue and make concerted efforts to spread its usage.
4. Protecting water and all natural resources on top priority.
Respected Sir,
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasant experience on hearing about your victories regarding the above case, as a practicing hindu would you please take up the case of pandharpur temple in maharashtra. It is very badly managed and recently people lost the case against government. It comes nowhere near the shirdi temple regarding the infrastructure. and it is the only temple in india where we are allowed to touch the feet of god. Please help us sir.
No words Sir , to express my Gratitude and that of the Hindu Community .I had , if you may kindly remember , requested you at Cuttack during lunch time on 7th July 2013 , when you came to kindly grace the Decade of 'Hindu Shatavdi' and deliver Dr Umesh Patri (Author of ' Peace Under the Shade of Swords' the book you formally inaugurated ) Memorial Lecture .And you assured that the case for release of Hindu Temples was to be shortly taken up .Our Congratulations,Best Wishes and Sincere Gratitude .
ReplyDeleteJai shri ram sir
ReplyDeleteI Am from Kalka Distt. Panchkula Haryana.
Sir there is a very old famous kali mata temple in our city.Which is overtaken by govt. A case is filed in court by old pujaris of mandir. Sir please provide the copy of judgement of nataraja temple it would be very helpful in this case.
Dear Dr. Swami,
ReplyDeleteDo you know the truth about Sonia Gandhi? I am sure y Indians do not know this. Sonia Gandhi is spy and she works for British Secret Service. Sonia Gandhi was implanted into the Gandhi family to get control over India's politics and government. This was done in a very clandestine manner. When Rajiv Gandhi was studying in England, Sonia Gandhi made flirtatious advances toward him, and hooked him up.
India's security is facing great threat at the hands of Sonia Gandhi. Her sole aim is not to allow India to become powerful. Sonia Gandhi will do her every bit to disintegrate India. She will create a divide between Muslims and Hindus. The very fact that Sonia Gandhi has nexus with Muslims (Shahi Imam of New Delhi), reflects she is anti-Hindu.
Sonia Gandhi wants to westernize India. She wants to bring Gay marriages and homosexuality to India. She wants to annul the death penalty to murderers.
Sonia Gandhi has no loyalty for India. She has no spirit of love for India as her motherland. She does not care about uplifting poverty. She will never work for the protection of the women against rapes.
Sonia Gandhi is the biggest enemy of India.
Sonia Gandhi is involved in the planning and abetment of the killings of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Madhav Rao Scindia and Rajesh Pilot.
Now, Sonia Gandhi will try her best to eliminate Narendra Modi. So India has to protect Narendra Modi.
Please take my these comments seriously and this should be investigated by RAW.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
Sonia Gandhi & the Gandhi family has done to India what Gorbachev did to the USSR
Deletewhy dont all the temples unite and restore the Nalnda and other learning instituts of Vedanta and the treditional way on a massive scale and produce angain the great people as it was in the past and that will be the most effective way to answer to all of them who are against Sanatna Dhrma
ReplyDeleteChaamy, nee romba ariwali, no wonder harward kicked u out.
ReplyDeleteTo go to Harvard is an achievement in itself..few fools are just capable of just critisizing in public forums:):).like you..
DeleteFools talk like this.
DeleteIt is great that Nataraja Temple is not attached to these political parties who alleges their origin to Periyar. A great Job, Well Done, Sir. Please associate with BJP Government and guide them in Commerce/Finance and Hindu Religious responsiblities.

ReplyDeletePART 2 - ADVISE FROM AN ISRAELI AGENT- NOT CAUSE FOR ALARM BUT CERTAINLY CAUSE FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN
ReplyDeleteNow for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months.
Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people on board will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke -- that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.
For example:
1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.
2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked!
Every strategy we have is reactionary.
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates.
Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.

ReplyDeleteDear sir... some useful information that may help enhance our security systems.. sending in parts as the document wont fit in one page... regards..
ReplyDeletePART 1 - ADVISE FROM AN ISRAELI AGENT- NOT CAUSE FOR ALARM BUT CERTAINLY CAUSE FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN
Scary... what a fearful way to live ..we are reactive ...perhaps because we are not programmed to think like terrorists.
To all our friends in America: Be vigilant... not that we are in safe territory...
IF ONLY...
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie 'Munich' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard, and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.
In a lecture in New York City he shared information that EVERY American needs to know -- but that our government has not yet shared with us.
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed, and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11, a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.
Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months.
PART 3 - ADVISE FROM AN ISRAELI AGENT- NOT CAUSE FOR ALARM BUT CERTAINLY CAUSE FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN
ReplyDeleteIn Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as, rural America this time. The inter lands (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.
Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. Government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts. The world is quickly going to become 'a different place', and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don't have to be concerned about being nuked.
PART 4 - ADVISE FROM AN ISRAELI AGENT- NOT CAUSE FOR ALARM BUT CERTAINLY CAUSE FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN
ReplyDeleteOn an encouraging note, he says that Americans don't have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their destiny'.
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, 'homegrown', having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. He says to look for 'students' who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand a thing about them.
Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will inevitably face. America still has only a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel's, Ireland's and England's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to pay attention to, and trust 'aware' citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies'. Our government thinks we 'can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well 'trained' that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag!' The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.
PART 5 - ADVISE FROM AN ISRAELI AGENT- NOT CAUSE FOR ALARM BUT CERTAINLY CAUSE FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN
ReplyDeleteThe area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.
Unfortunately, America hasn't been yet 'hurt enough' by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it's their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.
Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were 'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)
He stresses the importance of having a plan, that's agreed upon within your family, of how to respond in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the schools too, develop plans of actions, just as they do in Israel.
Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan, that in the event of another terrorist attack, EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., will immediately be cut-off, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.
How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak to each other? You need to have a plan.
If you understand, and believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send this to every concerned parent, guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whomever. Don't stop there. In addition to sharing this via e-mail, contact and discuss this information with whomever it makes sense to. Make contingency plans with those you care about. Better that you have plans in place, and never have to use them, then to have no plans in place, and find you needed them.
If you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever occurs -- good for you!
PART 6 - ADVISE FROM AN ISRAELI AGENT- NOT CAUSE FOR ALARM BUT CERTAINLY CAUSE FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN
ReplyDeleteIf you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever occurs -- good for you! However, in the event something does happen, and even more so, if it directly affects your loved ones, then this e-mail will haunt you forever.
Telling yourself after the fact, "I should have sent this to so and so, but deleted it as so much trash from old Bill Jones, plus, I just didn't believe it", will not change anything. You were alerted, had the chance to do something, and instead of erring on the side of caution, you chose to disregard, if nothing else, a sensible, valuable warning.
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE STANDING TALL...
BE CAREFUL YOU DO NOT FALL...
Israel are showing a way for good travel.
