I believe that it's a good sign that some body from a different faith sees the greatness of our gods. I know that her lone opinion doesn't matter a whit, but it's a beginning, a welcome beginning.
I do not know why Hindu divotees still do not understand. In stead of protesting they should have rejoiced that people from other faiths also worshipping Hindu Gods. The narrow minded Brahmins in Kashmir denied reconversion of forcibly converted Hindus. Now we know what is going on there. Also older day upper castes denied respectful life to lower castes causing conversions and all opther social unrest till date. If they still do not understand, God save the religion!
If the intention of those (non-Hindus) who enter any Hindu temple is not to defile it, then, for heaven's sake, allow them inside and don't make a mountain out of a molehill! Let them admire the architecture, offer prayers or just to relish the atmosphere.
Also, it is my humble opinion that a temple's sanctity will NEVER be affected by allowing women inside it.
Our lives would be much better if we could get rid of our prejudices and archaic laws/beliefs and, at the same time, maintain certain traditions that are time-tested and will always hold good, irrespective of the era.
