Dear C Rao, Brahmins are temple poojaris as long as devotees irrespective of caste want them to be. I hear that in TN the govt has started some poojari course and above 80% of trainees are dalits and backwards. if we visit Madurai and Rameswaram in about a year's time, we may be able to receive Prasad from the hands of dalit poojaris. that automatically solves the problem. Other states should follow suit.
