guruvayoor temple issue
by V K Nair on Jun 06, 2007 10:49 AM

Whatever the "Thantri" or "Headpriest" says is totally rubbish. Who is he to decide the origin of a man or a woman in that matter. Vayalar Ravi's or Singer Jesudas's matter became prominent issues because of their popularity among the masses. Almost all Malayalees recognize them. What about the numerous other ordinary non-Hindus who have faith in Krishna and enter the temple for worship? It is not that Lord Krishna will not bestow his blessings on non-Hindus; it is the middle-men like the so called Thantris and Pujaris who are making the things worse. We are living in a most modern age and stopping a person from entering a place of worship is primitive and unjust. For the Thantris, non-bhramins, especially their young girls, are un-touchables during the day & most sought after partners in the bedroom during the night. What a contradiction! I have witnessed many such Namboodiries (the so-called Thantries) fulfilling their lust with non-brahmin ladies. It is high time that the attitude of the Thantries changed and worshipping at a temple is made open to everyone. After all, every creations of the almighty is equal in front of the GOD. Belief in GOD must be the yardstick for entry to a place of worship; and NOT the cast & creed of the visitor.
