> Ha ha. They all get greedy. I wonder if there isn't a limit to their greed.
> Then there's the pandas in kashi and puri .. awesome amounts of greed there. Our tour guide/car driver said, it's the same at every Krishna temple in North India. They are after your money. :) > Compare that to some other temples - like the nellaiappar in tirunelveli. > When we were there some months back the priest was running short of supplies > for the puja and some people visiting the temple had to step out and buy > flowers, oil and camphor. Which is kind of sad .. IMO, Somanth was much better than Dwaraka, though I did like Bet Dwaraka (no photography there though). Gujarat also introduced me to the cult of Swaminarayan. I had heard about them, but never experienced their religious centers. Those guys have cornered the market in commercializing God, and I thought IS-Con was bad. ~ashwin
