Hello friends, Have you ever heard film songs being played at any temple festival or celebration? If yes, then now this scene is going to change soon. The Madras High Court has given a historic verdict and made it clear that only devotional songs will be played in temples. Also, the court has also ordered the appointment of trustees as soon as possible for the proper supervision of the temple administration.
Why did this decision come?
This matter was related to the Sri VZ Varadaraja Perumal Temple in Puducherry. There were complaints of film songs being played in the temple during festivals here. A petition was filed on this, which said that playing such songs at a devotional place hurts its sanctity. Also, the administration of the temple was working without trustees, due to which questions were also being raised on its supervision.
What did the court say?
Understanding the seriousness of the matter, the court said in clear words that only devotional songs should be played in temples. The court said in its decision: “If any orchestra or musical program is organized during the festivals held in the temples, then only devotional songs should be played in it, non-devotional songs should be completely banned.” Apart from this, the court also said that the temple administration cannot be run for a long time without trustees. Therefore, the government should appoint qualified trustees as soon as possible so that the temples can be properly taken care of.
Relief decision for devotees
This decision will bring happiness to all those devotees who wish to maintain the sanctity of temples. The temple is only a place of worship and spiritual peace, not entertainment. When only devotional music will resonate there, the atmosphere will become even more sacred and positive.
What will happen next?
After this order of the Madras High Court, the administration will have to ensure that only devotional music is played in all the temples. Also, the care of temples should be improved by appointing trustees as soon as possible.
This decision of the Madras High Court is very important for every devotee. This will not only help in maintaining the sanctity of the temples, but the system there will also be better than before.
