Temple built for Google in Tamil Nadu, thousands throng to express gratitude
In a nod to Google’s omniscience (all knowing), omnipresence (ubiquitous), and arguable omnipotence (all-powerful), a temple has been built for the Internet giant in Tamil Nadu’s Karur district under the initiative of the Google consciousness sect, a religious movement founded on the theological doctrine that Google Swamy has the answers to all questions of life, ranging from the profoundly spiritual to the completely banal, and that one must submit to Him with complete faith for spiritual salvation. Within hours of the opening of the temple, thousands of Google devotees, from D grade scientists and domain experts in various fields such as ichthyology and philately, lined up in serpentine queues to pay obeisance and express gratitude to the wise one for bailing them out on innumerable occasions.
The moving force behind the temple is Swamy Vajranand Saraswati aka Sachin Gowda, a former research analyst, who after countless hours of googling for information for various projects, finally had the epiphany that Google is God and vice-versa. “If I were to encapsulate the sect’s core philosophy, it is this,” recalled Swamy Vajranand, “stop thinking for yourself, let Google baba do the thinking for you.”
The temple’s sanctum sanctorum houses an anthropomorphic representation of Google Swamy while results of search queries on a range of metaphysical topics such as “what is the meaning of life?” and “what is life?” adorn the temple’s walls. Devotees have been instructed not to drop coins in the hundi but click on Google ads by way of offerings to the Lord. There is also a special mediation room in the temple courtyard where devotes can log on to Google Plus to meditate in complete isolation and tranquility on Google’s awesomeness, undisturbed by pesky chat requests or cluttered time-lines. People with an appetite for the more abstruse aspects of the new religion can also go through the Google Search algorithm to understand the workings of the Lord.
The faith based initiative has been welcomed by Google founder, Larry Page, who has been exhorting people to not do evil for a very long time. “And by that I mean not succumbing to the temptation of being led astray by fellow human beings with all their foibles and frailties on accursed social networking sites, whose name I would rather not take,” said Page.

Why do you have the picture of the Sringeri Shankaracharya? Couldn’t it be anonymous?

Why do you have the picture of the Sringeri Shankaracharya and the 8th century Sharada Peetham temple? Completely unnecessary.

Good article, but the choice of image should have been better. It is not a great idea to have a famous personality for that.
While there is enough liberty for diversity of thought, it should not interfere with other thoughts.
Hope you will be sensitive enough to identify that, as much as you want others to be sensitive about your sense of humour.

I have been a great fan of this site.
Just to re-iterate, fun is not dangerous as long as it doesn’t offend others.
No one said, why did you say that there was a “temple” built? That is creative liberty.
But using some one else’s picture while they stand for certain philosophy is not fair.
There is a thin line difference between humour and offence. The reason why this site is great is because it understands that difference well.
Hope every one who is calling others as “fanatics” etc etc., understands the concept and truly understand that spirit.

All Religions are just a means of societal control, originally orchestrated as a mandate of human life by scumbag rulers who wanted to rule by ‘divine right’ and suck the lifeblood of their’god-fearing’ unquestioning subjects. To the people who take offence to purported ‘religious slight’, if there “really is a god” he couldn’t care less about what people “say” or ‘think” of God or divinity on the internet, a god that doesn’t care about real issues would really not give a flying fish for “perceived slights”.
All fanatics, Islamists,Hindus,Christians, Jews at-all can run home and cry a river. Religion is the reason the world is on fire and has been for centuries altogether.
