We should PROTEST this atleast via online to the President of USA & Inda, Prime Minister.
Online petition should be created and circulate among the indian/american community.

NamaskAram adiyArs,
dasan's name is Sridhar Ranganatha. dasan lives in Minnesota,USA. dasan is a trustee at the temple. Some of you may be aware that our new Sri Varadaraja Swamy temple for which Samprokshanam was planned on June
4th 2006 was Vandalized by people who are full of hate for our (Hindu) community,our way of worship and living. Only Perumal Divya Mangala Vigraham was Miraculously left Untouched. Every other idol (14 total) were Mutilated.
Some in our community treat this as a random act by a few misguided teenagers, who have nothing better to do. dAsan however thinks this was a premeditated CRIME against our community. We had a meeting at the new temple site on Saturday and are resolved,by Perumal Thiruvullum to get another ThAyar Vigraham made in India and shipped to minneosta quickly, so that we can keep the Samprokshanam date. Sthapathi Sri Muthiah is working on it.
dAsan is writing this mail to request all the bhaktAs and AsthikAs should VOICE our condemnation on these types of Bigotry and put pressure on our political leaders to bring the Perpetrators of this sort of Crime to justice and ensuring this
never happens again!
dAsan requests all adiyArs to get a National debate started to address this growing problem of intolerence and bigotry towards Hindus in the USA. Please ask your local temple management to increase security in all temples across this country with alarams and survellience cameras.
We have invited the Governor and other political and Law Enforcement leaders to the temple on Thursday at 6.30 in Maple Grove Minnesota to address the concerns of our community.
This is dAsan's first mail to the group and unfortunately had to come under these circumstances. dAsan has enjoyed the Bhagavat Vishayam posted by PerivaZHs in JnAnam and AchAram on this board since joining it.
Thanks for your
time.
