Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Krishna, Guruvayoorappa ! Dear Bhakthas , Sri. Sunil is realistic . The Constitution of India is Secular ( non-religious) . However it provides Special privileges to the religious rights of Minorities . Therefore, Political parties in power are unable to interfere in the affairs of Minority Institutions of Worship . They compensate the above loss of revenue , by seizing total control of Hindu Temples. It is true that , there is no point in blaming anyone . Everyone including the Hindu Leaders and Organizations are at fault in their approach to Guruvayoor Temple . Even the "Hindutva" Leaders when in power did nothing to protect the interests of Guruvayoor Temple . Indirectly, they too have helped those forces hostile to the Temple . "Fault Finding" is harmful to a Bhaktha's `Átmic' progress . However , the existing situation is forcing the Guruvayoorappa-Bhakthas to selflessly expose the "agenda" of those endeavoring to destroy the Temple . This is only to educate the "sleeping-Bhakthas" who believe that Guruvayoorappan will take care of His Temple by Himself alone . Many of them are believing the "Secular" reports appearing in the Media ( which is hostile to Hinduism) . What We Can Do for Guruvayoor Temple. My Humble Suggestions are the Following : Divine Grace is vital for success in any venture . Chant the first "Dasakam" ("Guruvayoor Mahatmyam" ) of "Narayaneeyam" everyday , and pray to Bhagavan for the welfare of the Temple . Email, talk, write , influence all the people you know in your family, friends circle, neighborhood to make them aware of the Threat to Guruvayoor Temple . And urge them all to pray and act for saving the Temple . Use the Spiritual , Physical and Monetary resources to support the Temple-saving activities of " Guruvayoor Kshetra Paramparya Paricharaka Samithy ", (Traditional Temple –Staff of Guruvayoor) which is the only organization that stands for the Temple . Brahmashri .K.V.Gopalakrishnaji , may kindly coordinate Our combined efforts with the assistance of committed Bhakthas in or near Guruvayoor . ( Note : The Remedial Measures ( revealed in Devaprasnam) are to be completed within One Year . Very soon , Guruvayoor Devaswom Board has to take a decision on the acceptance or rejection of the Recommendations . Usually they keep on postponing such issues . For sure , Guruvayoorappa-Bhakthas will have to fight in order to get a decision in favor of the Temple) . Bhagavane Guruvayoorappa , please save our beloved Guruvayoor Temple !!!! .

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Absolutely Sunilji. In democracy, the majority have to be educated and brought together on good causes. The devotees of guruvayoorappan should hold a mass signature campaign calling for for separation of state from temple affairs and ethics in temple operations. This should be first done through online petition of change that we want to bring about in guruvayoor and we can organize programs in every willing petitioner's house, invite his / her neighbours to join the signature campaign. Once we have a few lakhs in support of separation state and religion, the government and politicians will beat a retreat from the temple affairs. We are seeing success in Ramar Setu issue due to the tireless work of few normal individuals Dr. Kalyanraman, D.Kuppuramu, Capt. Balakrishnam, Badrinarayan etc. Of course some shrewd politicians like Dr. Subramaniam Swamy wuickly understood the importance and took appropriate legal action. Very soonVHP, RSS, BJP and ADMK joined hands and even Congress backed out of fear of losing Hindu votes. Even DMK started back tracking after creating tension. I am ccing Kalyanji who can advise though he has limited time. Sunil Menon <menon_sunilguruvayur Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:04:21 AM[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Re: Guruvayoor temple matters- MOBILISE STRENGTH Hari Om!In a democratic system, it is us - the people - who select theseleaders to power. So, why blame a few when we are the ones voted themto power? Guruvayur Devaswom board and Cochin/Travancore Devaswom boards arealways under political or some other allegations during most of myadult life. We claim that we are a highly literate society, then whywe let all these institutions go on like being unfair and withoutproper accountability? Naming a few politicians based on their religion or politicalaffiliation is an easy task, but that will not solve anything. What wereally need is making the majority to understand the situation andunfairness. That is when you will start seeing change. State and religion are two separate pillars of our society. But whymix them together all the time? As far as I know majority of Keralites are Guruvayoorappa bhakthasirrespective politics. Why cant we keep the politics aside and bringof all of them together to do the right thing?We need to see change towards RIGHTEOUSNESS and that has to comethrough the mass - the people - all of us. My humble suggestion to all of you - please email, talk, write ,influence all the people you know in your family, friends circle,neighborhood to make them aware of the truth and tell them they havethe power to change it.It will be nice if someone can prepare a draft of all the unfairaspects that we need all of Kerala needs to know. Also the mostimportant positive changes to correct those wrongs.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Jai Sreekrishna Dear All I also agree with the suggestions of Shri Krishna Dayaji. Immediately after I read the first message of Shri Krishna Dayaji, I took a firm decision to recite the first dasakam of Narayaneeyam in full faith. But then I realised that the 2nd dasakam is also equally important and started reading the same also. I vowed upon Lord KANNAN that I shall find time and read both these dasakams five times a day and started the same right from 14th November. With his Blessings, I could find time for that and till today I could comply with the same. Only thing I have to get up another 20 minutes early . I read the dasakams twice in the morning and thrice in the evening in all humility and plead for his kindness and intervention in safe guarding interest of our Bhooloka Vaikuntam. The happiness I derive after doing this is just beyond explanation I think the online Narayaneeyam by Shri Shashi Karthaji can be of great help to those devotees who are not getting much time at home to read the dasakams. I think anyone can spare 5 to 10 minutes for reading the first dasakam on a daily basis in the office itself. However, before starting the parayanam, one has to try to see HIM in our mind (Just think only about HIS manohara roopam and everything else will follow) and then request KANNAN to hear our earnest and sincere prayer and I am sure HE will definitely be pelased with this act of HIS Guruvayoor group Bhaktas as all are discharging their day to day activities and also finding time to remember HIM . All the more when it is done with an intention to safegauard our Bhooloka Vaikuntam Dear all, this is just a humble suggestion and please do not take it otherwise I talk with my daughter and office /train friends about this matter and request them to pray sincerely. My daughter ofcourse she is doing it, How far others are doing I am not sure. Regarding the Guruvayoor Kshetra paricharaka samithy, I would be grateful if you could throw some more light on the same as I have not heard about the same earlier Humbly Syamala krishnadaya <krishnadaya wrote: Krishna, Guruvayoorappa !

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Aum Namashivaya I started reading narayaneeyam which i downloaded from groups file. One thing is that i am not able to understand what i am reading. Is there any problem if i read in that manner. Thanking everyone for these valuable mails. Deepthi Syamala Nair <syamalaraghunathguruvayur Sent: Saturday, 17 November, 2007 3:42:00 PMRe: [Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Re: Guruvayoor temple matters- MOBILISE STRENGTH Jai Sreekrishna Dear All I also agree with the suggestions of Shri Krishna Dayaji. Immediately after I read the first message of Shri Krishna Dayaji, I took a firm decision to recite the first dasakam of Narayaneeyam in full faith. But then I realised that the 2nd dasakam is also equally important and started reading the same also. I vowed upon Lord KANNAN that I shall find time and read both these dasakams five times a day and started the same right from 14th November. With his Blessings, I could find time for that and till today I could comply with the same. Only thing I have to get up another 20 minutes early . I read the dasakams twice in the morning and thrice in the evening in all humility and plead for his kindness and intervention in safe guarding interest of our Bhooloka Vaikuntam. The happiness I derive after doing this is just beyond explanation I think the online Narayaneeyam by Shri Shashi Karthaji can be of great help to those devotees who are not getting much time at home to read the dasakams. I think anyone can spare 5 to 10 minutes for reading the first dasakam on a daily basis in the office itself. However, before starting the parayanam, one has to try to see HIM in our mind (Just think only about HIS manohara roopam and everything else will follow) and then request KANNAN to hear our earnest and sincere prayer and I am sure HE will definitely be pelased with this act of HIS Guruvayoor group Bhaktas as all are discharging their day to day activities and also finding time to remember HIM . All the more when it is done with an intention to safegauard our Bhooloka Vaikuntam Dear all, this is just a humble suggestion and please do not take it otherwise I talk with my daughter and office /train friends about this matter and request them to pray sincerely. My daughter ofcourse she is doing it, How far others are doing I am not sure. Regarding the Guruvayoor Kshetra paricharaka samithy, I would be grateful if you could throw some more light on the same as I have not heard about the same earlier Humbly Syamala krishnadaya <krishnadaya@ > wrote: Krishna, Guruvayoorappa !
