Big donations might have come from his family with prayers to get Kanimozhi unscathed from 2G scam.

what is so great about TamBrahm? I bet most of the donations would have come from non-brahm. Please stop being discriminative in the interest of Hinduism
D. goel pkl. afternoon 4.20pm Wednesday, july 11, 2012. Thishigh ferlvour towardsGopalaswamy in Chennai demonstrates thatSouthern indian mind set isvery deeply embeddedin the Vaishnv culture of Radha-Krishnacults. Peopledes[pite otherwise highly analytical and criticakl in their understanding ofcivilization seem to support thegreattraditrions ofAlwar /Saints andBhakti of Radha and Krishna even now , whenskepticism seems to make a buifeenroad in our north indian Vaishnavism at Mathura or Brindavan.

Re: karunanidhi makes lot of offerings to this temple
by Krish on Jul 11, 2012 09:32 PM
Frankly, how does the personal belief of Karunanidhi affect us? So Jayalalithaa is more pious and outwardly hindutva- how does it matter? Yes, if MuKa swindles temple gold then we have a problem
How these brokers(priests) have discretion n spending the money?
1. Make it golden to attract more people hence offering. 2. Make cinema hall like timing to suit them. God doesnt need break. 3. Like balcony , box , first class you have different pass for darisanam.
These priest only consider people who offer more money. They consider money more than God or devotee.
IF GOD HAPPEN TO COME DOWN TO EARTH THESE prie$ts DOESN'T HESITATE TO ASK THE GOD MONTHLY RENT TO STAY IN TEMPLE.

Anand and Prashant.. Not sure what is your concern .. did the temple management asked you to give money ... people who are managing the temple did not l.ot money from anybody.. they like their God and they are doing what ever they can

Devotees money be used for needy people. God doesn't need gold for self it needs people be happy. 60 crore are BPL.
Its greed of some people in temple. Nothing about God or religion.

This is a temple & not church or mosque to plunder all donations. Every rupee of donation is taken away by HR&CE dept. If you donno something better keep quiet instead of revealing your illiteracy here.
