Sri Ranga !

[Guest guest]

Dear Madam,

I share your concern very much. However, I feel that by uttering and notifying such incidents, we may be popularizing them.

The Best thing all Asthikas have to do is to simply ignore as if nothing has happend and treat that athiests are non-entities.

All,

 

Atheists may not recognize God, whereas, God reacognizes them.

 

People like ER are a result of exploitation in the name of God by some

vested

and some misguided souls. They certainly have a place as long as

exploitation and blind tradition at the cost of truth exists.

However, I think all right minded people should object to the

location of the statue, and not statue per se.

In that spirit, I wrote this letter to "The Hindu"

and they did not publish for whatever reason.

Probably "The Hindu" is not as balanced as it is thought

to be perceived.

 

I am sharing that letter here. I encourage others to voice

similar opinion, if you agree. May be it will open eyes!

 

Sir- Everything has a place, time and role. Installig ER's statue

in front of Raja Gopuram in Srirangam is not ideology, but simply

mischief. ER was

an athiest who, in his own way stood against blind faith. As we know

blind faith

has helped (is helping) heal as well as made (and making) life

miserable for millions of people

all over the world. But would DK dare to put ER's statue on Thomas

Mound in Chenai or in front of a

Jama Masjid, Golden Temple, Taj Mahal, or Bahubali's statue?

You won't place statues of Bertrand Russel or Carl Marx statues in

front

of Basicillica of St. Peters in Vatican. All these personalities and

institutions have

inspired people one way or other. Let us respect their unique roles

without

tyring to hurt any sentiments - like you don't put foot in the mouth,

eventhough

both are essential and have a role!

I think strict zoning regulations should be in place to avoid this sort

of problems in future. Better yet, we should ban anymore

statue installation in public places. I assure you, except birds,

nobody else will miss them! If people want, let them use their

private land. We need to follow the ideology o four hero's more than

wasting public land for raising additional statues!

Dear All

 

Aren't we all blowing this insignificant incident

beyond proportions.

 

Few points on this issue:

 

1. By installing a statue of EVR (I would refrain from

calling him periyar as he has not done anything

significant to qualify himself being called so) the so

called DKdians have given up their ideology and have

surrendered to Idol worship.

 

2. By mere installing a statue of a mortal human being

in Srirangam they aren't going to take away the

devotion, love and trust we have on our religion and

its customs

 

3. By declaring that they will install 128 more

statues they have clearly indicated the fear in them

of being minisculed

 

To sum up the best form of descenting this is not to

keep worrying, pondering and discussing about it.

 

Let us at no point give away to this muffins and

behold the values preached in by our Acharyans.

Dear all,

 

While there is nothing wrong per se to errect statues

of whoever/whatever it may be , the question is of

esthetics. That is why strict zoning laws

must be enforced. The statue looks quite ugly,

of questionable craftsmanship

and also the location w.r.t gopuram

looks bad at least in the pictures- may be it may not

look so bad in live. It certainly does not add

to the beauty. As a whole we have very poor

civic sense and it is common to see

human and animal waste around places of interest

and importance. At least they can be swept away

and are less durable with so many stray dogs

around. This is not true for an ugly piece of granite

art in front of a remarkable structure.

Dear all,

By installing EVR's statue in SRI RANGAM (the boologa vaikundam) this shows the leader of the DKdians also wants to be in DIVYADESAM. This shows their fearness, whether after EVR there will be no one to lead the DK.

Let us take in the positive note. RANGA will preach a lesson to all of them in short period. Let us pray for that.
