Adiyen Dasan,
will some one please educate me as to why this is a rediculous move by
the Government.
When srivaishnavam is not limited to brahmins, when we proudly call
ourselves to prapannas and the prapanna jana kootasthar himself was
not a brahmin, why should this move by the Government be oppsed by us
Sri Vaishnavites?
I believe that the Government order specifies that a candidate
aspiring to become a temple priest should be qualified in agama
shastras, I am only happy that there could be others who will be
comming into the fold undergong proper training and initiation in
pancharathra or Vaikanasa agamas.
That apart, I know for sure that the poor temple bhattachars as they
are today are not accorded proper social recognition even among the
Brahmins,(particularly of Sriramngam) they are branded as "Choliaas"
and what not. It is not coustomery to get or give girls in marriage to
and from their families. So what is lost for us to unite and fight
against.
Please correct me if I am wrong in my thinking.
Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan
Vasu venkataraghavan.
