Temple is a
centre of learning, practice and experience of positive prowess that could
configure, recharge and boost the neediest subtle resources of hope, courage,
will, ethical feed and transcendental aid. Being source of high level
inspiration, system of temple aims not only in individual development but also
cultivates, nourishes and safeguards understanding, peace and harmony in the
society.
Temple is not just an object of faith but a
systematic visible presentation of truth, unintelligible to perception and
intellectual pursuit. It is extolled to be an access model of ‘Supreme
inaccessible’ that which promotes faith into understanding and action.
Need for analysis
In this preternatural and exceptional deal of
divine force and order, scriptures and their explanatory and implemental
tradition serve as indomitable authority. They are the only channels for
comprehending divine immanence, deity manifestation, temple ‘structure,
infra-structure, operation, administration, assimilation and
remediation-restoration’ details. Hence, a thorough analysis of codes and
principles is necessary for the purpose of
- Evaluation of authenticity and screening
of interpolations
- Scientific Interpretation of equitability
and efficiency of temple science
- Obsoleteness and remodeling studies in
tradition and rules
Inculcation
In modern scenario, temples are more found to
be conflict and commercial centres. Lack of understanding of principles and
procedures, in the priesthood community, fuelled by intentional ignorance of
the visitors in knowing about temples, has made temples just shelters for
interim solace and marginal benefits, or resorts for recreational festivals.
Love and sincerity to serve and fear of sin and punishment, have been clouded
only due to lack of understanding.
Nescience and irresponsibility of public have
facilitated entry of spiritual and ritual illiterates to head, lead and conduct
temple operations and traders to administer them. Even learned priests have to
minimize and evade their duties due to ‘management and crowd pressure’ or
negligence fostered by absence of proper supervision and verification.
Eventually, both the sacerdotal and
administrative authorities focus on crowd attraction and extraction ventures
rather than sanctity maintenance and real, perennial benefaction of public. In
order to remediate these organizational maladies, a powerful and transforming
inculcation pattern should be initiated.
Radiance
It should be understood that the radiance of
the temple, a collective potential of order and discipline in all of its
components, is the force that which grants safety, prosperity and peace to
thousands of its believers, followers and loyals. But invariably, we see the
focus on externals and ephemerals and infinitesimal attention is paid in even
thinking about such a vital, fructifying factor and its restoration and
sustenance. Public should be vivified with such awareness as they are longing
beneficiaries. Those who are quality conscious and fight for consumer rights in
silly and simple purchases should never compromise in this mega purchase of divine
grace.
In order to reinstate active glory of temples
and to reassemble social spiritual strength, an Institute of Temple Management

empowerment of temple officials, priests, pilgrims, religious lecturers and
general aspirants, an exhaustive curriculum has been designed with the
