SrI: Daer Sri Venkataramani : The AchAryAs have a different mission and can not openly enter the dirty world of politics . They have to provide guidance in a subtle way .This has nothing to do with lack of courage as you indicate. They have to weigh in the sensitivities and be sure whether they are helping or harming their cause . The previous CM of TN decided to go after one of the Mataadhipathis and we know the results . If a government wants to foist a case and pursue the travel on a rotten road , there is precious little one can do except thru the lengthy battle in the courts . We have lived thru one such episode in the Fourties in the heyday of so called "PeriyAr" out of whose ashes today's opportunists arose .These power hungry units have an agenda to position their own friends , cohorts and relatives to rob and plunder . I do not see much point in asking the MatAdhipathys to get their hands dirty in the process of dealing with these politicians , who will not stop at anything . This episode will also pass . The TN govt can declare on top of the roofs as to what they want to impose . Not much will happen .Their Hindu Endowment Board is a laughing stock . We have to sit this out and let these be sorted out at the level of ciitzens and courts . V.Sadagopan P.S : These low minded politicians are not looking for PramANams on Vedam and Aagamam to educate themselves to arrive at a rational decision . They know exactly waht they want and are after their goals of amassment of wealth thru their networks . They could not care less as what happens at the temples beyond the appointment of their cronies to pilfer . ***************************************************************** Imput from Sri R.Venkataramani: very rarely do religious leaders provide leadership from a spiritual perspective. they often lack the courage and knowledge - simple and plain. if any one can become archakas, why did they not initiate it? if any one cannot, why are they not opposing? instead of waiting for others to speak up for the cause, let us unite, learn the real facts based on sastras and fight to protect the tradition. i live in chennai and ready for action on this. we have a group of youth who will unite to support this. any one interested in protecting veda dharma is free to call me on 9840940108 any time of the day. best regards rajaram v ************************************************************** govindakrishnan alagar <alagar_g@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: 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.
