Praying Outside Temple Will Not Reach God, Says The Richest Temple In Karnataka

The Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple in Dakshina Kannada is said to be the richest in Karnataka with Rs 96 crore annual income. Sevas done in the temple forms the largest chunk of its revenue.

The temple in a public notice has warned devotees and said that the ‘sevas’ or rituals done outside the temple will not reach the gods or bring any fruits to them. It released the advisory as it learnt that some vested interests were exploiting the situation to garner monetary benefits by misguiding the devotee to perform the said sevas outside the Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple premises.

“Any sevas performed outside the temple will be purely privet, unauthentic and will neither reach Lord Subrahmanya nor deliver the goods intended. Further it will be a fraud and negation of the tradition of the Kshethra,” the temple said. The age-old temple asserted that it had no branch. “The temple administration categorically avers that Kukke Sri Subrahmanya Temple has no branches locally or anywhere in the country,” it said.

Among the high profile devotees of the temple include cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Javagal Srinath, Ravi Shastri, Venkatesh Prasad as well as actors Amitabh Bachchan, Shilpa Shetty and Juhi Chawla.
