Mr. Iyer, Thanks for quoting Matthew 17:20. I do not know how much knowledge you have with bible. But I could understand that you are a nut to take the verbal meaning of it. If you had knowledge as a grain of mustard seed, you would not have said that. Even this is what is happening with Kerala people. They are the one who speaks about anything under the sky as if they have created it.
Before God all are equal, say it be the tantri, devote, K. Karunakaran, the ordinary man. But I find it is different in Gurvayoor. I have never heard of someone going to church and then get the priority of getting confession, or get the priority of receiving the Holy communion, etc. I have heard from my professor that while he was workshipping inside Guruvayoor temple he was literally kicked out of the way by the security guards of K. Karunakaran.
Does your God segregate people? I do not think so your God(s) are this narrow minded.
