In Narendra Modi's Varanasi  "Bharat Mata Temple" Weeps in Neglect 

Mother India has just saw "sahasra purn chandra darshan" lying uncared in a deserted complex in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Varanasi. 80 years ago, Mahatma Gandhi inaugurated "Temple of Bharat Mata" on October 26, 1936. Thus the mother is 80 years old having witnessed 1000 purnimas, a very special occasion in one's life. It is certainly very special as the 1.25 billion sons and daughters, in these days, are engaged in a fierce debate whether to chant  "Bharat Mata Ki Jay "
Well known nationalist Shiv prasad Gupt , who started famous  Hindi newspaper Aaj, was the builder of this unique temple, having  a map of Greater India carved on marble  in the main hall of the temple. During his Japan visit he saw a similar memorial there and decided to build a shrine in the glory of Mother India. Mahatma Gandhi happily accepted the invitation to inaugurate this national monument. 
Introductory material about the temple say that copies of holy books of all religions, Gita, Quran, Bible etc were placed  in the foundation of the temple.
Mahatma in his inaugural speech said, " Everyone who loved Mother India was welcome to the shrine to offer his or her worship according to his or her light and capacity."
Light in the period of blackouts!
