Temple entry for Non-Hindus
by Parmesh on Jan 05, 2006 04:40 AM

Hinduism recognizes that all religions are pathways to the Supreme. Nowhere in the Puranas, Vedas or Upanishads have there been any pointers for keeping non-Hindus from our places of worship. We have to take this up with the so-called 'trustees' of our faith. Sri Namboodiri deserves full cooperation from Hindus all over the world.

How ironical it is that Yesudas's voice reverberates throughout Guruvayoor, sining praises of Lord Krishna, and he is denied entry. This is religious fanaticism, and this has absolutely no place in Hinduism.

all power to the likes of Sri Namboodiri for breaking down the artificial barriers. Rajeev is totally within his bounds, when he talks about the Christian and Muslim transgressions. But by opening our doors to people of other faiths, we are not diluting the purity of our temples. as Hindus, we should protect our Dharma and faith against fundamentalism with all the force at our command. Likewise, we also need to fight the demons in our backyard, and not measure our behaviour by their yardstick.
