On January 8, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder of Isha, said that the Temples in Tamil nadu should be managed by devotees not by bureaucrats and politicians. In a tweet, Sadhguru wrote “Temples in Tamilnadu are in the clutches of Government Administration. Impinging on the sanctity of these powerfully Consecrated places of worship. Time Temples are managed by #Devotees, not by bureaucratic and Political forces. -Sg” and tagged Prime minister Narendra Modi, Cheif minister Edappadi K pazhaniswamy and Superstar Rajinikanth.

தமிழக கோவில்கள் அரசு நிர்வாகத்தின் பிடியிலுள்ளது. பிரதிஷ்டை செய்யப்பட்ட சக்தி ஸ்தலங்களின் புனிதம் சேதப்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. ஆலயங்கள் பக்தர்களால் நிர்வகிக்கப்பட வேண்டிய நேரம் வந்துவிட்டது, அதிகாரிகளாலும் அரசியல் சக்திகளாலும் அல்ல. -Sg@PMOIndia @CMOTamilNadu @rajinikanth

#வழிபாட்டுத்_தலங்கள் நியாயத்துடன் நடத்தப்படவேண்டும் எனக் கேட்பது எப்படி அரசியல் நகர்வாக முடியும்? என் தாழ்மையான வேண்டுகோள் – ஆன்மீகம் தோய்ந்த இக்கலாச்சாரத்தில், #வழிபடுவோர் கோயில்களை நிர்வகித்து வளர்க்கட்டும். இதில் அரசியல் நோக்கமில்லை. அவர்கள் 1947லேயே வெளியேறிவிட்டனர். -Sg

Why is asking for a fair treatment in terms of places of Worship a political move? My humble appeal is, in a Culture steeped in Spirituality, let practitioners manage and develop Temples for the community. No political intent. They left in 1947. -Sg #TemplesForDevotees

State control over temples in what is now Tamil Nadu had its roots in the British East India Company’s actions in the erstwhile Madras Presidency in 1817. After Independence, the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act of 1951 was passed. This law was deemed to be unconstitutional by the Madras High Court and Supreme Court.

Now, Tamil actor Santhanam who is actively appearing in film after film, came up with a tweet supporting Sadhguru. The actor said that he completely agrees with Sadhguru and wants government to free Tamil nadu temples. He also expressed his regression over temples being maintained without a single Pooja.
