Infuse wisdom through materialism ?

Talk a lot about Classic Marxism and stage a big protests in the name of communism, but pay a visit to Sripuram temple to see the architectural marvels and decorations in dazzling expensive yellow metal, the gold and finally boast your spectacular glimpses to others. This is the recent fad amongst most of the big(wigs\ots) !

The temple is situated at the foot of a small range of green hills in a place known as "Malaikodi" in the city of Vellore in TamilNadu,India.

The salient Feature of Sripuram is the Lakshmi Narayani temple or Mahalakshmi temple whose 'Vimanam’ and ‘Ardha Mandapam’ have been coated with gold both in the interior and exterior.

The attainment of material pleasures is regarded the utmost stature as per the Sripuram history. This comes as a stark contrast to what Karma yoga preaches, for it focuses on the adherance of the duty without expecting any fruit in return. Karma yoga is a spinning disk of detached actions.

The conceptualization is to embark on a journey to infuse wisdom through materialism says Sri Sakthi Amma. This would perfectly imply one to not practice detachment from the web of materialism thereby forbidding one in attaining samadhi !

A perfect negation on the preachings of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 (verse 10), follows as below:

Verse 10

vita-raga-bhaya-krodha
man-maya mam upasritah
bahavo jnana-tapasa
puta mad-bhavam agatah

Translation
=====
Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me—and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.
=====

The core importance of the temple at Sripuram goes further to say :
" So even though the world comes to see the temple, before they reach the temple, they will see Amma’s messages also; there will be message from holy texts like Gita, Quran and Bible"

How does the holy texts from Gita hold good here in the ken of materialistic preachings?

An iconic Sripuram temple claiming to be the world's only Golden temple built of gold to its entirety, preaches towards the attainment of materialistic pleasures and fulfillment of one's needs as opposed to the preachings of Karma Yoga.
