SrI:
Daer Sri Venkataramani :
The AchAryAs have a different mission and can not openly
enter the dirty world of politics . They have to provide
guidance in a subtle way .This has nothing to do with lack of
courage as you indicate. They have to weigh in the sensitivities
and be sure whether they are helping or harming their cause .
The previous CM of TN decided to go after one of the Mataadhipathis
and we know the results . If a government wants to foist a case
and pursue the travel on a rotten road , there is precious little
one can do except thru the lengthy battle in the courts .
We have lived thru one such episode in the Fourties in the heyday of
so called "PeriyAr" out of whose ashes today's opportunists arose .These power
hungry units have an agenda to position their own friends , cohorts and
relatives to rob and plunder .
I do not see much point in asking the MatAdhipathys to get their
hands dirty in the process of dealing with these politicians , who
will not stop at anything .
This episode will also pass . The TN govt can declare on top of
the roofs as to what they want to impose . Not much will happen .Their Hindu
Endowment Board is a laughing stock .
We have to sit this out and let these be sorted out at the level of
ciitzens and courts .
V.Sadagopan
P.S : These low minded politicians are not looking for PramANams
on Vedam and Aagamam to educate themselves to arrive at a rational
decision . They know exactly waht they want and are after their
goals of amassment of wealth thru their networks . They could not
care less as what happens at the temples beyond the appointment of
their cronies to pilfer .
*****************************************************************
Imput from Sri R.Venkataramani:
very rarely do religious leaders provide leadership from a spiritual
perspective. they often lack the courage and knowledge - simple and plain. if
any one can become archakas, why did they not initiate it? if any one cannot,
why are they not opposing? instead of waiting for others to speak up for the
cause, let us unite, learn the real facts based on sastras and fight to protect
the tradition.
i live in chennai and ready for action on this. we have a group of youth who
will unite to support this. any one interested in protecting veda dharma is
free to call me on 9840940108 any time of the day.
best regards
rajaram v

Dear Shrivaishnavites,
Fund collection would be needed for fighting the cause against the order of
the Govt. ot Tamil Nadu not only abroad but also in India. Before that a forum
of eminent and knowledgable persons (those who have knowledge in agamas, vedas
etc.) has to be formed with the consent of leading aacharyas and Hindu
religious matathipathis. I honestly hope that the step for forum would be
initiated by our Aandavan ashram or srimatam or both. It should be made clear
to the public by eminent men by articles, 'patti mantrams' that the peaceful
fight is not by Brahmins against other sections of the society but the fight
against an insensitive order of the Government which cares for a tuppence to
the heritage and basic faiths of the Hindu religion. The Government is cleverly
trying to paint this issue as a step to remove the so called monopoly of temple
priest hood from Brahmins. This myth should be exploded by all peacful methods.
Large segments of real devotees would oppose the
Government move. They only need a lead. A Government which proclaims no faith
in God and worship (but will worship the statues of their leaders, garlend them
and lit agarbathis!) and which follows the leader who called the believers of
God as barbarians, ironically brings in legislation makig in roads into temple
activity.
I do not agree that we do not have the strength. Will only is needed and the
lead has to come from the aacharyas and eminent personalities. They cannot
expect the common citizen to take up the cause unless they give the lead. I am
yet to see or hear a single objection from any religous head or men of
eminence. That is our misfortune.
