This is a true incident happened at Guruvayur laste year.
A number of aged and orphaned devotees live in the vicinity of the Guruvayur temple. They eat the prasad of the Lord, sing bhajans all through the day and lie down at Melapathur Auditorium in front of the temple. Their life is totally immersed in the Lord. On August 8 2006, out of blue and like a Tsunami, Pastor C.L. Jacob of Emmanuel centre, Palayur, and a group of Christian ruffians came in two ambulances and started evicting 16 odd aged devotees and forcing them into the ambulances. The aged persons including women, who have been in the service of Lord Guruvayurappan for three to four decades ,resisted the move to leave the temple and appealed to the Lord for help. They knew that the evil design of Pastor Jacob was to convert the entire group to Christianity. Local people rushed to the scene, finally could save them from this evil priest. On seeing this the Christian ruffians backtracked. By then the local Sub-Inspector Premanand arrived. He ordered the Pastor and the group to go away and released the hapless devotees.
But the soul-harvesting drama had its causality. 70-year-old Sundaram died of suffocation and cardiac arrest due to the pushing and pulling by the Christian goondas. Also 65-year-old Ammini committed suicide due to the fear psycosis and threat of future conversion. She had %u2018Vaka Charthu%u2019 darshan of Krishna on 12th, listened to the %u2018Lalitha Sahsarnama%u2019 archana, had lunch at

This is quoted from "The Organisr" a rabid RSS and VHP website. It does not have a semblance of truth and was not reported anywhere. I know the situation in Kerala. Any incident like this would have caused communal etension and nation wide coverage.

If this is true, then entry of non-hindus in temple should be strictly banned. Give us some newspaper report or source or website of this news.
