TEMPLES AND TREDITIONS

 

 

 

 

There was an article in the newspaper about kanchi seer interfering

in the traditions of thirumala temple. The Vaishnava head china

jeeyar had asked the kanchi seer to keep away from commenting on

thirumala temples as he does not belong to Vaishnava traditions. I

think we must keep the temples out of all these controversies. There

are many people who come and worship here. They do not belong to any

particular tradition say Saiva or Vaishnava. All these philosophies

should be restricted to only discussions and to individual mutts. The

heads of mutts should not insist on a particular tradition to be

followed in temples. For eg the thirumala temple is visited by all.

The sankaracharyas of sringeri have sung in praise of lord

venkateshvara also. It is not correct to say that the followers of

these mutt are saivites. God is neither saivite or vaishnavaite. He

has no religious sect it is only we try to see him differently. The

advaita philosophy does not prohibit anyone worshipping other gods

then why create this controvercy of savate and vaishnavaite.the money

collected in thirumala temple is not only from vaishnavaites and the

jeer has no right to comment on the traditions. Leave it to the

people who come for worship there.
