In this era of scarcity and inflation; with people suffering for food, clothing and shelter; May be we should stop performing ‘abhishekam’ to idols in temples with edible items. Just plain water should suffice. The savings could be used to feed the poor and hungry. I am unable to buy the concept of ‘pouring’ milk over the idol; when a kid is sitting just outside wanting food. It means hypocrisy to me.

Each locality has at least two major temples; one for Shiva and the other for Vishnu. Temple authorities spend enormous amount in the name of functions. Everyone visiting the temple can be fed with the enormous funding the temple receives.? We can practically wipe out beggars in the state.

Root cause of every evil in society is Hunger. Wiping out the hunger of people without searching reasons actually benefits society. Introspect. Free food in temples thrice a day; everyday will not make people lazy; it would give them the energy and stability of mind and elasticity to think and earn a living, wiping out most of the evils in a society.

The best yagna is performed in the stomach of the poor and needy. Fill their stomach with food. No other yagna can match up. When a person's stomach is filled with food, it becomes an effective weapon that destroys most of the malice that is rooted in his mind.

Hunger is the greatest evil of mankind. Every vile thought springs out of a depressed mind linked to a starved stomach; especially kids.
