Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Hear Songs by Padmasree Yesudas - enchanting and melodious that will make the guruvayoor appan go to sleep. Yet the devoswam authorities have not allowed this personality to enter the premises. Yet there are hundreds of muslims, christians enter who can-not be identified - and the guruvayoor appan has no objection, - just because Yesudas is well know he is not allowed to enter. Which house in Kerala does not have this great personality's songs in tapes or DVDs ? Viswanath Natarajan, Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Yes Natarajan,I quite agree with you.Sometimes back Yesudas made a concert in Udipi Krishna temple and there were no restrictions for him to worship the Lord and he was offered many presents.At that time he said though others allow me to sing in their temples my greatest wish of singing in Guruvayur temple still remains a dream.It showed his agony in not able to sing before Guruvayoorappan.Some years back when I went to Guruvayur to worship in the night I could not go inside as the temple was closed though it was only abt 8 pm.When asked the reason some responsible person said that a Muslim entered the temple to worship incognito and he was caught and immediately all the devotees were asked to vacate the premises as lot of rites had to be performed and the whole area shuld be sanitised and the rituals will continue for 4 hrs in the night as the temple became polluted bcoz of a person from another religion entered into.I was simply dumbfounded at the foolishness of ourselves claiming that God is one and amenable to all as all religions are man made.It made me to brood that there shuld be different Gods for different religions.So devotion and bakti hv no value but only religious chauvinism takes the upperhand.I dont know who prescribed such rituals for Guruvayur temple I mean the restrictions.The method of poojas were propogated by Adi Sankara,I believe and I dont know whether Sankara would hv prescribed such restrictions as he was an incarnation of God Himself. I hv not seen such restrictions in other famous temples like Sabarimala,Palni,Tirupati etc though I hv seen boards that people who hv faith in Hindu religion can worship the deity.As far as I understand there is nothing like Hindu religion propogated by the Vedas or any such scriptures Hinduism is a way of life and never defines it as a religion and never put any restrictions though other religions openly proclaim their faiths and hv their own ways.I hv visited Velankanni,Nagore (religious places of Christianty and Muslims) and did not find any restrictions.We call God as Iswara they call as Jesus,Allah that is all.We hv our own rituals and they hv their own.But ultimately all go to the same source.As Sun is common to all God is also common to all and there is no distinction between this one n that one and all the creeds are man made.Swami Vivekananda in his famous speech at Chicago religious parliament proclaimed Brothers and Sisters to the everso many ppl of different faiths and all became stunned at such a frank talk and this made many to think and some of them became his disciples.This fact many would hv known.When the world has become too small thanks to the development of technology harping on the age old traditions and dogmas can only do more harm than gud.May be times may change and all the unwanted restrictions imposed may become redundant as Lord of Guruvayur is more interested in devotion,dedication and unflinching faith than the belonging of devotees to a particular religion..Even in Gita Lord never says anything abt religious fundamentalism,I think.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hari Aum, It is more about the tantric system of puja followed in the Guruvayur temple. There is nothing against Shree Yesudas per se. It is something like the restrictions kept at certain areas say some critical care wards of hospitals. If a person is a Hindu then the chances of maitaining the requirements of entering the temple premises are more. Probably over a period of time things may change favourably.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Yes Dear Viswanath You are right. Being I am a Hindu I am really against the attitude of the Devosom authorities. As the Lord told once " Melpathoorinte Vibakthiyekaliha Poonthanathinte bakthiyanenikkishtam". And Manjua could not offer the "mala" But Lord accepted in another way. All these are very clear that Lord does not have any discremination, but only human has got discremination between each other. Lord will definetly pave the way for HIS real devotees to see HIM without any restrictions.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Friends, It is really unfortunate to see a series of messages in this Guruvayoor group , criticising the existing customs of the sacred Guruvayoor temple. It appears that , these people including the moderator of this group are unaware of the following facts : 1. The functioning of Guruvayoor temple is based on the procedures established by Aadi Sankaracharya. In fact, Guruvayoorappan had instructed him to put in practice the required rituals to ensure the 'satwic' functioning of the temple.These rituals are unique and applicable for Guruvayoor temple only. 2. The decision of authorized Tantri ( Chennas Namboodirippad) is the final word in all matters concerning the Guruvayoor temple. This has been confirmed by Supreme Court of India. There have been numerous lawsuits filed by publicity-crazy, fake-devotees asking for entry of no-hindus in Guruvayoor temple and all these lawsuits were dismissed by various courts. Recently, one such atheist was rediculed by Calicut court, for raising an irrelevant issue for the sake of publicity. 3. Guruvayoorappan is not a passive 'deity' . The Supreme Lord of the Universe really cares for His each devotee.There are systems in place like instructions to Tantri/priests during dreams, revelation during 'Devaprasna' etc, to convey Guruvayoorappan's instructions. Any one violating Bhagavan's wishes would be punished immediately. 4. If Guruvayoorappan wanted Yesudas to enter Guruvayoor temple , He would have arranged for it years back. 5. Yesudas is a great singer. But, he is not a 'satwic' person . Guruvayoorappan is not his principal chosen deity and he worships Gods of all religions. Yesudas's greed for money, arrogance and selfishness are known to the world ( Through the writings of his mentors like G.Dewarajan, Mrs.Vayalar as well as class mates like Jaya of Jaya-Vijaya) . Notwithstanding this, the merciful Guruvayoorappan has immensely rewarded Yesudas with great suceess, for his bhakti towards Him. 6. On the otherhand , Guruvayoorappan's beloved devotee-singers like M.S.Subbulakshmi and Chembai were famous for their 'satwic' willingness to spend all their hard earned money for the needy people. These maestros ( who have earned several crores of Rupees in their life) virtually died as poor, as a result of their numerous activities for charity. Please, do not doubt the integrity of Sri Guruvayoorappan. A humble servant . guruvayur , suresh sivan <sureshshiv1960> wrote: > Yes Dear Viswanath > > You are right.
