Well if the tantris and the pujaris are rule bound then they must never have heard nor shall hear the devotional songs rendered by yesudas as he is a non-hindu. Do they check the clothes which they wear, the food that they eat where all made by pure hindus. Well what about the animals or birds that stray into the temple premises? R they also categorised religionwise ?Well I too am a hindu but believe that god transcends all this abstract boundaries.

please read the interview completely! They are have to do this if they come to know about it! obviously if they donot know about it then they cannot do it!
It is the very first thing he said in the interview. In this case since the priest personally knew about Ravi he ordered it. If he didn't knw then he is not rule bound!

In case you are a Hindu you must have self esteem to refrain from irresponsible comments. In case you are not a Hindu,then it is plain improper on your part to criticise.
Every religion has rituals which may look funny to non believers

If you believe that God transcends all abstract boundaries, then you need not visit a temple. You can worship God anywhere, he is everywhere.

I would like to know, which scripture has prescribed such action. I would like to have the page number and the name of the scripture. Being a brahmin, I must know this, so that I can check, who is entering my office, where I have a small idol of Lord Krishna. I must also know the full ritual, so that I can purify my office, every time my forign colaborator comes to visit me.

I know this is one of the very unfortunate incedent...after reading this interview what i can understand is no one is sure what Adi Shankaran actually might have conveyed as there is no written rules available...Tantris have liberty to mend these rules...So I believe they have done is and still trying to enforce it...
This is not an issue with Hindus alone...I have seen this even in muslims...some of the very pious muslim people dont eat non-veg from non-muslim restaurants...understandably because of hallal thing...but i have seen people not driking water from a non-muslim people...
yesterday somebody was saying some one wasnt allowed into the chruch in russia cuz she wasnt a chirstian...
so this crap exists in every religion...and you dont need liberlisation to thing this is unfair...all you need is a lil commom sense...
