I think we agree on certain things, but we disagree on a few other things.
As far as allowing non-Hindus into Hindu temples is concerned, I do not agree with your views as well as the reasoning you provided in various messages. I read all of them. In my humble opinion, your reasoning is not correct.
Let us leave it at that. I am tired.
Every person is entitled to have his own opinion.
The only thing that saddens me is we Hindus are experts in shooting ourselves in the foot.

The disagreements r not on matters of substance. But these r on the approach and nuances. Give me your mail id.
all those hindus who wanted to cleanse themselves returned to the path of a single GOD. either christian, jew or moslem. its only you people who r committing greater sin against GOD by praying to snakes, rats, ants, germs, worms, donkeys, monkeys etc and a god which shows an elephant head grafted on a human body. that day is not far when u people will start to worship AIDS virus as well. lol

What has Prem done to hurt you?
In fact he has presented the other side also thru this interview. If this interview was not published, only Ravi's story would have gained currency and secular media any way would be lapping it up.
for all violance in country Rss/vhp/bajrang dal is responsible . it is for congress to control it immidetly other wise sitution will b uncontroble . day by day hate in india is increasing on the name of religon
It is really saddening the way pseudo seculars handle the issue in which hindu sensitivity is involved. All the temple funds are being chiffoned away for building mosques and churches. Hindus are so politically weak they are not able to do anything. Why do christians want to enter hindu temples. Why dont they get converted? Is hindu temple museam or zoo where everybody who has got money to buy ticket can enter? These are expansionist religion and hindus should see the ploy black and white. What answer valayar ravi has for "All he has to do is go to the Arya Samaj, tell them he is a devotee, that he believes in idol worship, get a certificate, which takes five minutes, and then he can enter the temple any time he wishes, as many times as he wishes." Valayar ravi will have to answer this. Then his pseudo designs will be exposed. Or he thinks he has become all powerfull that he can challenge anyone everyone he likes? Management of hindu temples should be left to hindus only. Every body please remember and try to understand hindu property and religion is not there for bandar-baant. A temple is not parliament, why are people not understanding it why should secular writ should run amok inside of temple. It is just ransom, pure gundaagardi.

"All the temple funds are being chiffoned away for building mosques and churches." What a universal-false statement written with maliciuos intentions! As for as churches are concerned that any one irrespective of his religion can enter and worship God. Because we think that christianity is for all and church is built for all to worship the real God.
It seems you distorted the facts saying that poor un armed dalits were attacked by the Muslims. I read the article linked to your message but it doesn't say that muslims were armed and attacked the un armed dalits. Moreover the local muslim leaders have appealed to maintain peace.
It seems that you are prejudiced against muslims and trying to blame the community for every thing that happens under the sun. Be reasonble dude.

Sir, u must be knowing that any religeon group clash news has to be censored? I saw the vedio clip in a local channel and i am posting the fact. I dont gain anything by bashing muslims after all they are also citizen of this nation as i am.
I am only pained without any provocation they brought arms and injured un armed people.
Please tell me what the buffalo skinned Co-hindus were doing ??? this is the weakness of the caste system. The caste system is a divisive force which is to be eliminated by reforming Hinduism.
that's the diff. we hindu's will never fight based on religeon. it was just some difference of openion, for that these muslims brought arms and injured un armed ppl.
it seems non-hindhus especially christians want to enter temples because they are ashamed to go to their religious places..because of the notorious activites happening at thier respective places. we can only pity for you. in stead of commenting on others pl reduce the anti-social activites of ur institutions.Then u feel happy to go to ur places rather than trying to go to others places.

The church and vatican are directing some christians to enter temples and create controversy to malign Hinduism. Also they want a law that will allow non-Hindus to enter Hindu temples so that missionaries can be stationed there permanently and distribute missionary literature.

Thats no imagination,Christians have been caught propogating in Tirupati. There is rampant propogation in the university, education institutions, hospitals running on the funds from Tirupati. What do you call this? Our decency doesn't permit Hindus from resorting to similar acts.

I guess you don't keep up with the evangelical bulletins regularly, do you. What a pity! Several evangelical websites in the US have called for christian evangelists to enter hindu places of worship and institutions, because they need to bring their god (the christian god) into these places of ''worship of the idols.' I wish I had noted down these website addresses, so I can pass them on to you for your pure reading pleasure. I live in the west, and I know for sure that many evangelical churches are VERY aggressive, and see the conversion of the hindus and other non-christians as a BATTLE to be won.
George Abraham - elsewhere you say you personally say you don't advocate conversions - so why don't you, as a secular christian, protest all these illegal activities of other christians and tell them to butt out of hinduism?
I am an agnostic, and I don't want people telling me what I should be or shouldn't be; so I have chosen to take sides with the hiindus and fight for them to defend their way of life and freedom. Christianity and islam have been the blight of mankind - causing more war and tragedy than all religions put together. The fundamental problem is the basic tenet of these religions - thou shall worship only Jesus/Allah and NONE else!
With that kind of mindset can one blame those for wanting to bail out of these two religions, or get rid of them from society?
