Once upon a time faith was some thing which came from heart and people were sincere at least to God.But now it has become a new way to hide your black money. The recent gift of a diamond crown worth rupees 40c to thirupathi by Reddi brothers is an example for this. Already He is covered with tonnes and tonnes of gold and diamond. But an interesting thing in this is, when the whole world is undergoing recession how come these people get so much money? and how did so much money come to them? Only that God knows the answer for this.

There is a saying “service to mankind is service to God”. If these people really have faith then this amount could be spent on some good deeds like building hospitals,sponsoring education for at least ten poor students,starting an industry or a company and giving employment opportunities. I am not telling money should not be given to show one’s faith but the amount is the one which matters. God never gives everything to the one who gives more to Him and nothing to the one who does not contribute much. All are equal before Him.

So there must be a limit in contributing to the temples. The temple authorities must themselves get into this and give an order that the amount should be limited if the contribution is in the form of gold or diamonds otherwise any amount can be paid but it must be spent on some good deeds like feeding the poor. If this is followed there will be some percentage decrease in starvation.
