There are many useful and informative content, one can watch, where committed individuals talk on the issues related to our Temple Heritage. It is vital that Hindus around the world know how the system has been working to destroy our Heritage. The 1st step in destroying our Heritage was in the destroying of the system of Temples around which our society was structured. This automatically led to the destruction of our Education system as well as the Economic system. So, it's important to understand the core concept of how our temples have been functioning for thousands of years. It's only then that we can work on reviving our temples and take them out of government control. Here we feature some significant talks on this subject

Govts & Courts alienated Temples from Hindus
Shri @trramesh , who is the President of the @indiccollective trust and a relentless campaigner against violations and irregular practices in temple administration, speaking on "How Governments and Courts alienated Temples from Hindus" at Kshetrayanam2020.
Indic Renaissance - the legal way
Sai Deepak tells us why he decided to pursue a career as a lawyer after studying engineering. He also talks about the reason for establishing the Indic collective trust and it’s efforts in reviving the dwindling “Indian way of life” through law.
In this talk, Sai Deepak tells us about the age-old tradition of temple administration by local Hindu communities. In doing so, he shatters the myth that the temple is a Brahmanical institution. He informs us that the temple is not just a religious centre, but also a social and economic organization that takes care of the livelihood of local communities. Therefore, the temple is central to the functioning of Hindu society and it is due to its multi-faceted nature that the temple has been the target of Islamic invaders and Christian missionaries.
Sai Deepak also explains the concept of temple legislation and how it has been misused to justify government takeover and subsequent abuse of thousands of temples in the state of Tamil Nadu. Surprisingly, only the temples of the Hindu community are controlled by the ‘secular’ government of India. He reveals how state officials, who are charged with the task of ‘protecting’ temples, work in concert with police officials and thieves and idol smugglers. On the whole, he builds the case that there is an urgent need for a massive overhaul of the structure of temple administration by the government.
He helps us understand:
- The Constitutional limits on Statist intervention in Hindu religious institutions
- The need to free Hindu religious institutions from the stranglehold of the Government
- The extent to which Courts have recognised and facilitated Statist intervention in Hindu religious institutions
- The alternative to State management of Hindu religious institutions
