    God does not  require golden chariots & diamond crowns. This is dead investment. Instead of this spend those funds on school & hospitals. We have living examples like Dr. Veerendra Heggade & Adichunchanagiri Swamiji. Hope Udupi Swamy's will learn some lessons from them.

    Beautiful pictures[daiji] all looks so nice i think lord krishna would have liked to see more needy people been helped by the sponsors of this Ratha. we sould all remember that at this devoloping stage of our country there are so many in need of proper shelter, food, education, etc etc so why not indulge in helping activities.
