This is what the TVK Government told Supreme Court in the Tirupparankundram Deepa Thoon matter: " Courts should not interfere with ritual" What about this shameless @tnhrcedept violating the law and interfering with temple rituals every day? This Department which functions by FRAUD interfered with the following practices that were followed in temples. They continue to commit the following atrocities: a. Tried to change the date of Tamil New Year b. Tried to change the language of ancient rituals (will they dare to do such interferences in Mosques?) c. Built/building toilets inside the temples against agama practices d. Built Annadhana halls inside the temples against agama practices e. Built offices for Executive Officers who are present by FRAUD inside the temples - against Agamas against Heritage f. Built two huge Guest Houses inside Sri Arunachaleswarar Temple, Tiruvannamalai and are now shamelessly renovating it - against Agama Principles - against the ancient temple heritage g. Shamelessly interferes with Kumbabishekam rituals every time. h. Allow shops inside the temple premises - against the agamas of the temples and the law of the land. i. Unlawfully made servants of the @tnhrcedept as the sole trustees of many temples and decided many religious matters through them j. The unqualified fellows in the @tnhrcedept decide the agama syllabus these days. k. The incompetent, unqualified Department fellows interview persons for Agama and Vedic pundit posts. l. The HR&CE Act says Government can give "permission to melt" icons of Murtis. Only scoundrels could have come with such a law. m. The anti-Hindu fellows in the Govt and @tnhrcedept decided to reduce the 48 day Mandala pooja in Sri Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple to 3 days. Thanks to urgent intervention by Hon'ble Division Bench of Madras High Court which heard my petition on a Saturday, the 48 day ritual was saved. n. The misfits in the department destroyed many Ramayana panels in the name of renovation. o. Many ancient murals were destroyed by the useless @tnhrcedept fellows who have no idea about conservation. p. Many crores of rupees of HIndu Temples were diverted for non-temple purposes and even non-Hindu purposes in the last 40-50 years. q. By their failure to realise more than 95% of the due income from the temple lands and buildings, the TN Govt and @tnhrcedept have denied the Hindus of Tamil Nadu to profess, practice and propagate their religion. r. The @tnhrcedept banned special poojas in Hindu Temples in Tamil Nadu and special Annadhana on the day Ayodhya Ram Mandir was consecrated. s. The @tnhrcedept forces many temples to do Annadhana to honor late Chief Minister Annadurai every year on his DEATH anniversary. Annadurai called for burning of Saivite and Vaishnavite holy books in Tamil. t. The FRAUD department which has NOT gone out of Sri Thiagarajaswamy Temple, even after 60 years of Supreme Court Ruling - has deliberately reduced the daily offerings to Sri Thiagarajaswamy by more than 80% of what was originally offered. Yet it shamelessly takes 16% of the income of the temple as "fees". u. This useless department failed to protect a water body adjacent to Tiruvarur Temple known as "Senkazhuneer Odai" where a particular rare flower was grown for daily poojas. The water body was about 31 acres in size. Its gone. v. This shameless department had given the lands of Sri Gangadeeswarar Temple, Chennai to build a church - Salvation Army Church. The church is a chronic defaulter of lease amounts running to many lakhs of Rs. W. Two ancient temples are missing in Tiruvannamalai Town. and in their places shops are being run. X.

For constructing toilets in his office 3. For constructing reception area in his office. 4. For constructing canteen in his office 5. For buying photocopying machine for his office 6. For construction of library in his office. Y. This department closed a Veda Patasala that was functioning in Rameswaram Z. 5389 cows donated to Tiruchendur Temple went "missing" in an audit period and this theft was recorded by the Auditors of HR&CE Department. No action taken. Many ancient Murtis and jewels of the deities went systematically missing over the years. No FIR. No enquiries. Shameless fellows telling Courts should not interfere.
