Hi Mr. Ravi, It is quite natural for you to say such matters which devides the Hindu community further, thanks to your relationship with the Congress. There are better ways of doing it, honestly, rather than making a hue and cry. As a person, i do understand your feelings but i wish you could think of it this way: 1. If you think the Priests are not secular, why dont you say anything about what is happening in Churches, where they insist on conversion to their faith if a non-xtian would want to marry a xtian? A letter would be gotten from the convert saying "done on free will"! 2. Why is it that none other than Muslims are allowed in Mecca? 3. Why is it that you could not convert your family (with due respects) to Hinduism, courtesy, Arya Samaj or even the SNDP? 4. Why do u want to destroy an existing custom of a temple( Note: Hinduism, unlike other religions, have different customs in different places)? Maybe i could give you an answer - u being with Congress. 5. More so, in your cases, I do understand that it is hard for Hinduism. But, when foreigners from ISKCON are allowed entry after proof of conversion to Hinduism, why couldnt you do the same too? Think of point no.1 and reason yourself again. Thanks and regards
