Temple authorities can consider conducting many more sessions than what they do currently on the teachings of the Geetha , Ramayan & other ethihasa purana's in simple terms to benefit different sects of people.Simpler the approach without dilution of the content, better the take away for thecommon man.If someone can do something about it,it is great!

Initially, temples were built or formed due to real bhakti. Overtime, when they become famous (obviously, with increased population], more donations flow in, which inturn results in charity organizations linked to the temple [like that of TTD]. For the grants/legal processes, the temple authorities have to rely on politicians/business-magnets. So, it is expected that those external/higher authorities have control over those temples. As long as people benefit from those charity orgs [colleges/univ/disabled-schools/marriages etc], we shouldn't dwell more on the politics.

But , on the public side, these temples focus on the religious activities. Even, general public have less attention to spirituality, thus those ritualistic worship/poojas etc. [esp. result oriented, for the grant of boons] come easy for them.
Most of the modern generations have ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder]

. Why else even the general public/people are interested in accumulating wealth, ornaments for their grand and great-grand-children, when their own kids would send them to old-age-homes? People are focussed on greed, attachments, these people cannot listen, pay attention to any subtle messages of spirituality.

In life, we encounter happiness and sufferings which are like passing clouds, but we are set on some goals on our duties, like settle our kids in their life. Every parent should realize that after all that 'fury and sound', they would become indiviudals again and should have helped one's own 'Self' to be free from repeated bondage. If they don't adopt spirituality and train themselves ahead of the future, they feel isolated, disbled, depressed etc. and all that past-glory (money, career, kids etc.) won't help them.

I agree, these temple orgs.(plus the learned scholars, but real practitioners, not anandas or babas) should focus on spiritual discourses, feeding the minds and the souls, on the knowledge of self and permanent reality, rather than memory based rituals/slokas/flawed-quotes, and the latter ones/worship should be the product of one's one diligence/sincerity & understanding.
