Equality Re-established in Vaishnodevi

Today Vaishnodevi management has decided to pull off their decision of giving reservation to visit the temple to those who pay more amount than aam aadmi. It is not a chart buster news but really significant in many matters. Nowadays most of the big temples in India is having this kind of arrangement.

These days man made temples are no longer is a place of devotion, they are place for money making now, at least in India. Some temple gets crores of rupee in a single day. And these money making places is being utilized (rather misused) by big people. Big people like politicians, bureaucrats (they are really big in india) and Amitabh Bachan & family every time ignore the queue (obviously by paying money) and visit the temple. I do not know why they go to the temple if they can not spend some time for God. Religion says that for God everyone is same. So why temple pujaris are creating difference when it comes to see the God in temple. If one wants to religiously see the God, (s)he has to be in queue like others. These so called pujaris/pundits call themselves the caretaker of religion and they only creates this difference. How can anyone believe in those whose words are different from their act.

Personally I don't visit so many temples due to this reason only. Tirupati is one of them. There is so called "VIP" queue where by paying some bucks you can ignore the queue of aam aadmi and directly visit the God. Vaishnodevi management has done a correct thing by pulling off this VIP queue. Other temples should have follow suit them. At least when it comes to religion, reservation should not come by any means.
