Re: [www.keralites.net] World's largest Hindu temple to come up in Bihar

 

Thanks Bala Uncle (sorry if I offend you by calling you so, but that is what my parents taught me to call elders) you have a great vision. I would like to learn more about them. I also have learnt most the scriptures from all major religions and am trying to implement them in my life, sometimes successfully and sometimes without success. 
Now  to Mr Agrawal, I respect your intention, but a mosque or church are USUALLY built to conduct prayer services for a gathering. Sometimes it will be a big group involving thousands of people. To accommodate them, a bigger hall is needed. But for temples, mostly, people come to the temple for darshans. That is a moving crowd and people does not stay for long time. Namas and Mass are different which goes on for atleast half an hour. so they need bigger halls. 
 I am not forgetting Bhajans. But it happens mostly in Bhajan mandaps and not directly under the temple roof. 
If you remember seeing the pictures of Akshardham temple, most of the money is spent on the decorations and not on the basic building structure. Temples and other houses of worship is needed, but I am personally against the regalia put on them. It should be plain buildings. After all, people are coming there to worship and not for sight seeing. So, why do we need huge art work installations, or paintings etc. I never have gone inside a namas hall, but I have heard from my friends that it is a hall usually without any decorations. But in case of churches and temples, it is more of show off and less of prayers. This has to change. 
It is just my feelings, sorry if I have hurt someone by doing so.

Mr Agrawal,
what to say man if some one wnat to construct a mosque to accomadate 25,000/ for namaz. When I read the news about the temple what I really felt I wrote. See I have read scriptures/ puranas/ Ithihas/vedas and upanishad/astrology/ ayurveda as a  brahmin from kerala.I had all the family and financial back ground to learn all these in my school n collage days. After reading all these and good training imparted to me by late parents I follow 
a) never tell a lie even in the worst situation.
b) Never earn a pie in a wrong way.
c) never harm others even in your thoughts leave alone in action or words.
d) try to help others and dont wait for a chance to knock at your door to do good things. Keep your eyes and ear open you can see the suffereings and cry of others.
By God 's grace at this age of 62 I have to work to have two square meals. iam healthy and my family of my self wife and only son live happily with all contentment. V have no regrets and enjoy the tranqulity .
 e) Have you Mr.PG ever heard the bubbling sound that roams in the tummy of a starved person standing near by you. Get him some food and see the light in his eyes. you can see the same light when you go to a temple in the idol.
I too visit temple and do contribute. Becos it is also a social obligation in addition to spiritual.
All The best

Hi Bala, you are 110% Right...
 
UNFORTUNATELY THE CONCEPT OF SPIRITUALITY IS SO MUCH MIS-INTERPRETED. DO YOU REALLY NEED A TEMPLE TO BE SPIRITUAL?? IF THE TEMPLE IS SIMPLE AND HUMBLE, WILL THE GOD BE UNHAPPY??? 
WILL HE BLESS YOU MORE IF MILLIONS ARE SPEND WITH OUT HELPING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO ARE SUFFERING!!!   
 90% OF THE MONEY BEING SPENT THERE WILL BE FROM SUPER RICH WHO THINK THEY CAN EVEN BUY GOD... THEY HAVE NO ANY CONCERN ABOUT THE SOCEITY...

Another waste of money and time. If only the promotors of this temple think for a moment and construct either a good medical college and or some good education institution. 
or take 20 villages and improve them by giving basic amenities and improve the life of the villagers. God will bless them twice. 
I am a devout hindu and belive in God and not a rationalist.

World's largest Hindu temple to come up in Bihar

 

PATNA: Replicating the world largest Hindu temple in Combodia's Angkor Wat, the 
(BMMT) on Sunday said they will build a bigger temple in Bihar'sVaishali district. 

To be built at a cost of Rs 100 crore, the five-storied and 222-feet tall temple will come up at a sprawling campus spread over 15 acres at a place near Ismailpur village on Hajipur-Bidupur road, which will be christened as Angkor Nagar, BMMT's secretary and ex-IPS officer Acharya Kishore Kunal said. 

Land worth around Rs 30 crore has already been acquired for the purpose from locals, he said. 

The proposed temple will be named 'Virat Angkor Wat Ram Mandir' and it will house the statues of Radha-Krishna, Shiva-Parvati, Ganesh, Surya, Vishnu and ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu. 

It will take upto five years to construct the temple and another five years to give the final finishing touches to it, Kunal said. 

On selection of the specific site for construction of the world's largest Hindu temple, he said the place has mythological significance as it was said that the deities Ram, Lakshman and Vishvamitra had set their foot on the village and were welcomed by the King Sumati of the Vaishali kingdom. 

The 'bhumi pujan' for the proposed temple will be held tomorrow, Kunal said adding the temple was being constructed to mark the centenary celebrations of the BMMTs. 

The Angkor Wat temple was built in Cambodia in the 12th century during the rule of then Cambodian king Suryavarman (1141-1152 AD).
