Adiyen Dasan, will some one please educate me as to why this is a rediculous move by the Government. When srivaishnavam is not limited to brahmins, when we proudly call ourselves to prapannas and the prapanna jana kootasthar himself was not a brahmin, why should this move by the Government be oppsed by us Sri Vaishnavites? I believe that the Government order specifies that a candidate aspiring to become a temple priest should be qualified in agama shastras, I am only happy that there could be others who will be comming into the fold undergong proper training and initiation in pancharathra or Vaikanasa agamas. That apart, I know for sure that the poor temple bhattachars as they are today are not accorded proper social recognition even among the Brahmins,(particularly of Sriramngam) they are branded as "Choliaas" and what not. It is not coustomery to get or give girls in marriage to and from their families. So what is lost for us to unite and fight against. Please correct me if I am wrong in my thinking. Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan Vasu venkataraghavan. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Home is just a click away.
