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.
