Good one! Hope that this puts some light in the ever - dark corridors of our seers brains. Lest they too would have to forego their fight for Ram Sethu (which according to their argument, then, would be void 'coz it was built by Ram n Hanuman, the Pav Purusha.

It is clear from the article that it is temple's law only and nothing do with religion as such....
-->The heads of the other maths say that that the Puttige math will have to desist from worshipping at the temple. It is said that as per the tradition of the temple, none of the heads of the maths are allowed to cross the seas. In case they do, they will not be permitted to ascend the seat.

Revolutionary, u seems to belong to a class of few Indians who worship foreigners and abuse your society's Gods! Before challanging some customs, one need to understand them. This rule was framed for pujaris so that they couldn't be affected by outside or foreign impression. What happened in ancient times that a pujari crossed sea by claiming that he was going to gain some knowledge but returned doing trade and earning money. Since trading was banned for pujaris, so rules were framed for pujaris that whosoever cross the sea will not be allowed to offer puja or doing the earlier work. This simple custom is followed even today. The ppl like u don't understand that this rule is just for pujaris and normal public is out of sphere of it. So why make cry of it? And for your kind information, SriRam, Hanumanji were not pujaris. I guess u know that!

Ram did not fly over the sea, there was an bridge built over it. Hanuman did it with the request of Ram. In this case it was sole decision of Seer.
