[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Guruvayoor temple matters- MOBILISE STRENGTH

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

How about taking these views to the decision makers??

Not that they do not know about it, but they are

forced to act because of the pressures from the other

'interested ' parties. Though the number of Bhakthas

is incomparably large in numbers compared to those

'interested' parties, they are not able to apply force

due to lack of co-ordination. A simple way to start

with could be thru sending e-mails to the Devaswom

site/authorities-administrator, board members etc.

This can be done thru the forum, or the forum can ask

its members to send a uniformly worded messages

directly to the Devaswom.

 

Hope the members will give a thought.

 

Regards

 

Balagopal

Jai Sreekrishna Dear Shri Balagopalji According to me it willl have more effect if routed through forum on a combined basis just as we did for Udayasthamana pooja. This is my humble suggestion and it is for our moderator and other member devotees to decide further Humbly Syamala balagopal ramakrishnan <rbalpal wrote: HARI AUMHow about taking these

Very good idea Balagopal ji. I guess, if someone in this group has the time to devote to Shree Guruvayurappan, then the best possible way would be to make a document with the conclusion that the group has reached on the matters and then send it to the Devaswom. I think this has already be done, and this can be continued if all the devotees here so desire. Sarvam Shree Krishnaarpanamastu! ~Krishn Dasa.balagopal ramakrishnan <rbalpal wrote: HARI
