I was talking to my friend and he was pissed off that many of the Northern temples restored under ASI were not rejuvenated as living temples. I shared his frustration, but his wife chimed in that if that were allowed without strictures, the thronging masses might damage sites of incredible significance for the history of our religion. I think the historical living temples in the South provide some approach for a middle ground. I still am not sure how best to do this.
