June 10, 2007

Hari OM!

Dear Dr.M.R. Iyerji,

Mr. NBnair mentioned about you in the previous email. Thanks for opening the eyes of

so called secular (pseudo Secular vote bank) people who want all the religions to enter our Gurupavanapuresan's Temple

Let Guruvayur be like as of now always. My sincere prayers to Guruvayurappan for that

And May Guruvayurappan bless you with whatever you wish Sir.

And please regularly contribute to our great devotee groups

Namaskarams to You and all other devotees in this group

With Love & OM!

I read with interest the discussion on the Guruvayur temple entry issue. In this context I would like to point out that there is a Parsi community in Mumbai area whose fire temples and their crematorium in Malbar Hill are out of bounds for anybody outside their community and religion. Even those who are ex-communicated cannot visit these places. Why find fault with only Hindu temples. It is because the Hindu way of life has become a free for all punch bag with no centralised authority. Actually we are facing a third conquest by the opening up after the conquest by Mugals, and the British. We do not know ,as the Chinese do, how to imbibe the good of the West without hurting our ancient civilization. It is a matter of shame when I see many of naturalised Americans of Indian origin decrying anything Deshi when their own internal make up is Indian. They are even ashamed of their own language - a Chinese or a Japanese or for that matter the German or French will prefer to talk in their own toungue. In IAEA I have seen them addressing the meetings only in their language. You will be surprised to see the mad rush towards anything American as if our civilization do not have any past! It is a cultural conquest that is going on now.

Coming back to the topic, I feel that one of the reasons against admitting everybody into the temples universally is that the places of worship would then degenerate into tourist spots. Imagine a host of Europeans descending on the Guruvayur temple taking photographs, where will the true devotees take refuge! I have felt this by comparison, the difference a devotee feels by visiting the Madurai temple and the Padmanabhaswamy temple or Guruvayur temple.

Another unfortunate corollary of the controversy is that its origin is pure and simple politics and vote bank. Not that the persons making a hue and cry are interested in making a communion with Guruvayurappan.

They could easily do this by praying at home- like Prahlada found Lord Narasimha inside a pillar! But their eyes are on the vote bank to turn the spot light on themselves when they are unable to solve the mundane problems of the people of Kerala like the erstwhile Kings of Tranvancore did! These people are running behind cheap popularity by kicking up any controversy when they are unable to do anything substantial.

Today there is a need to organize to neutralize the cultural conquest that is going on to avoid the Hindu way of life being bundled into history. However, I believe that the resilience of the Hindu culture is quite high and it cannot be buried easily into the pages of history.

One has to look at the conquest of America by the Europeans and the conquest of

India by the English/French/Spanish. Whereas the native American culture was annihilated and easily buried into history, the Hindu culture survived all conquests by imbibing conquering cultures.

Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya! Dear All Devotees, Minister started the campaign when the High court of Kerala started the proceedings against Mr.Paloli Mohammed Kutty,another minister.So the entire media left the Paloli issue and concentrated on the discussion about Yesudas's entry to Guruvayur temple. Also when the Polit Bureau took disciplinary action on the bigwigs of the party,problems starts in Travancore Devaswom Board and media goes after that. Also the communist parties are very much interested in filling their people in all the devaswoms and to canvass votes and funds through them.If they are not interested in the power of devastanams in influencing the people,they should not have appointed known party workers/or simpathisers to head the three devasom boards and the Guruvayur Devaswom Administration Committee. People takes the example of other religions as allowing the entry of people belonging to other religions.Most of the religions takes the dead bodies to their places of worship and buries there.But we hindus takes it away from the temples and cremates since it is a waste material once the soul leaves it. The water in the ponds and wells around the religios places were dead bodies are buried will be contaminated and it is not usable for cleaning ourselves before the worship. So how those who believe in taking dead bodies to holi places can be allowed to enter our holi places were we enter with phisical and mental purity. The Minister threatens of issuing an ordinance to allow the entry of people of other religions to enter Guruvayur and other hindu temples.But he should show the guts to issue another ordinance to

compel people of some other religions to light lamps at public functions and wear the tilakam on their foreheads. So let us expose the designs of the politicians through the sustained campaigns.
