Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hello, this is my first post in this list after having lurked around for over a year. IMHO, it is HE/SHE moves everything in this world, and it is HE/SHE who has caused the statue to be placed there as a constant reminder to the rest of us believers that, I am the doer of all things great and small. It is not you, human, that moves the world, it is I who does so. So don't be bothered about it. You see, we interact with HIM/HER daily in our temples, take care of him/her, day in / day out as we would a person who is very very close to our heart or even ourselves. However, if you notice, statues of leaders kept out are generally not cleaned, birds use them to ...... and ...... and are remembered only when there is a requirement to further ends. Installing a statue only does not show the respect, it is how the devotion is shown that matters. We take care of HIM/HER and think about him every day, and that is what matters.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The action of intalling the statue is done with the intention of hurting the sentiments of vaishnavas. They wont dare doing it in front of Velankanni temple, for example. Those who claim to believe in the lord should either go out and fight for dharma or atlease not dissuade others who are able to understand the war that is being waged against veda dharma. The lord taught Arjuna to go out and fight for dharma in unequivocal terms. If we dont keep our self-respect high, the women of the community will leave. If a man tolerates disrespect to his cherished values, even a chaste wife wont have any respect for him. Earlier when muslims invaded Sri Rangam, the men went and fought. Seeing their husbands bravery, the women fell in to the Cauvery / pyres in thousands and committed sati. If we develop callous attitudes out of nothing but fear, the vedic society will be greatly affected.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 harE krShNa! AzhwArgaL thiruvadigaLE sharaNam! jay shrIlA praBhupAdha! Dear Sri Venkatesh Parthasarathy, While addressing the supreme person, please use *only* HE and HIM (and not HE/SHE or HIM/HER). Because the supreme controller is Lord krShNa or viShNu and He is a MALE PERSON as confirmed in shAsthras as "puruSha" and "puruShOththama". And He is "sarva kAraNa kAraNam" (cause of all causes), "mayA sarvam pravarthathE" (everthing emanates from Lord krShNa), "maththaha paratharam nAsthi kinchidhasthi" (there is nothing equal or superior to Lord krShNa), etc., etc. Still there are millions of proofs which describe clearly in scriptures as Lord krShNa or viShNu is the SUPREME PERSON. And there is nobody equal nor superior to Him. harE krShNa! - Balaji - The Servant of Devotees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
