Hi,

I do not post on this board much but I want to hear on this board. 

I am an Iyengar myself but 

1. why can't a person not a brahmin become a priest? 

2. Why can't the Brahmins who are well versed in our
sampradayas start Vedic schools for all so that our
sampradaya is not lost? 
3. If a person who is not a Brahmin is deeply interested in the subject, is 
willing to learn, and excels in the sampradayas and
rituals, why can he not conduct poojas in the temple?

With seperatist and castist attitudes like this still existing in the 21st 
century, it is not surprising that the christian
missionaries are gaining ground in getting converts.
This attitude will only lead to loss of our
sampradayas altogether. For whom will the Brahmin be a
priest if all the so-called "non-Brahmins" are
converted to Christianity? 

Geetha
