When there is a problem the lord always send wise devotees. It is nice to hear 
the views of Jalasayanan and Sampath. Out of the 38000 temples under the 
control of HR&CE, most of them have non-brahmana priests - especially saiva and 
sakta temples. According to some vaishnava scholars all that is required for 
performing poojas in Vaishnava temples is initiation in vaikhanasa agama. 
   
  Now, most people know that M. Karunanidhi is a practising Hindu in private 
albeit for selfish reasons. Even publicly, he is known to subscribe to some of 
the principles of yoga. According to some sources, he is heavily in to tantra 
ands srauddha karmas for personal gains. It is likely that he has consulted 
enough scholars before taking this decision. But what is also likely is that he 
is merely doing this out aggression against the brahmin caste to consolidate DK 
votes. The other possibility, the most likely one in my opinion, is that he is 
doing this to appoint priests who will connive with his party men to swindle 
rich temples. 
   
  We have to oppose if it is really against our system. If it is not, which I 
think is likely the case we have to show that what he is doing is already in 
place and take the wind out his sail. The biggest problem is the lack of 
scholary devotees who are willing to spend time and effort on protecting our 
dharma and disseminate proper knowledge.

There is no need to worry on this, is my humble opinion.

As long as Vaishnavas are appointed for Vaishnavite temples, this is not going 
to affect us much.  Being Paancharaatri, there is no need to make difference 
between Vaishnav Brahmins and Vaishnav non Brahmins.

Vaikanasa Temples are very much limited and most of them off late has taken 
Paancharaatra courses

Problems will mostly will be of Siva Temples where in Sivacharyas will face 
problems.

Even after this, I really doubt how many non brahmins will stick to temple 
poojas as regular work when the payment is very meagre?

  Subject: [Oppiliappan] All people can become priests


  Pranams to all people,

  I hope many would have heard that the current DMK
  government of Tamil Nadu, is going to issue a
  government order that "All people, not just brahmins,
  can become priests in hindu temples". He has intended
  for all the temples that are currently under
  government. They also seems a plan to train many
  non-brahmin people for this.

  Our tradition is based on varnashrama darma and not
  caste fights. But, he wont understand this.

  Sorry to bring this news to groups, but any idea on
  what all the temples that might get affected?

  Regards,
  Desigan
