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.
