Guest guest Posted March 17, 1998 Report Share Posted March 17, 1998 Dear members, I would like to add my comments, on the above issue. Certainly in the present day situation, one should not argue over the supremacy of Hindu Gods. We should unite and safe guard our religion to the from the external and internal forces. But there is a past there is a history. Most of us are ordinary business people and spend some of our time in reading religious books performing poojas etc. There are great saints like Sri Namalwar, Thiru Mangai Alwar, Sri Appar, Sri Sundarar .... who lived in the past and have identified some thing and which is not questionable. The technologies like software concepts can change over time, not the religion. Bhagwad Gita is still the same. Holy Bible is still the same so is Thiru murai and Thiruvai Mozhi. So instead of giving different pictures to the past by giving some proverbs or sitthar songs ( which never formed the base of neither the Saivam nor the Vaishnavam), we can do whatever things possible from the present day perspective to strengthen our whole society. Some of the things according to me (which worked out very well in many places In India) 1) Trying to collect funds for renovation any Hindu temple irrespective of these affiliations. 2) If our youngsters are attracted towards temples like Swami Ayyappan encourage them ( I find still some orthadox vaishnavities as well as saivities not recongnizing the Sri Ayyapa worship). 3) Trying to go to all temples around our area especially during the important days. ( We will get to know various people and can help within ourselves on religious activities). 4) Trying to totally eradicate the animosity still exist between our sub sects like Vadakali and Thenkalai. ( How can we talk of unity when we have suprem court case over the Thiruman (Namam) to a elephant of a particular temple ). Your's S.
