Temple Management in the Agama-s, by Dr. Deepa Duraiswamy gives a wonderful overview of the traditions of Saiva Agamic temple worship predominant in Tamil Nadu.
"The author is a management graduate from IIM Kolkata and hails from a traditional Adisaiva family. Such a background gives her a unique advantage to present the subject with the authenticity, intimacy and the rigour it requires...
It proposes the temple to be viewed as a service organisation and a non-profit, non-business entity in the modern management parlance, outlining that the temple, just like any other organisation, has its own unique requirements of the four types of resources.. The author has attempted to blend non-compromising traditional beliefs and a modern management-oriented approach without getting into any unnecessary conflict.."
P.S: If the author is in FB and is in your friend's list, please tag her in the comments.
Thank you Indic Book Club and Indic Academy for sending me the book.

    Whatever the view both centre and state will not allow the temples to have free hand. They will control the society indirectly by choosing administrative judicial press religious heads to toe their line

    Thanks, Subbuji.

    I would also point to a related article by the author for a souvenir volume published by http://www.ssvt.org. 
    The author, Dr. Duraiswamy, is a great knowledge source for temple resources, and an excellent communicator of intricacies of agamic temples..


    This has been obtained from the link for the larger volume at:
