We should not make the ongoing issue of "Vayalar Ravi's grandson and punyaham" as a instrument to fight communalism. The temple has its own system or chittas. If you want to change the system, they have to sit together and discuss on the issue of religion. Now people of other religion wants to take it an opportunity to abuse temple acharams which is not good. Leave it to the temple authorities and to my opinion, anyone who has faith in the temple or hindu religion should be allowed to enter the temple. Hindu relgion should be practical in thinking. I am an hardent believer of Guruvayurappan and let us all join hands and find a solution whereby all believers, who follow the rites of Hindu reglion, should be allowed to enter the temple....like Hare Rama Krishna mission.... Please do not make it a political issue. Mohan Pune

Neetiyah, Change has never come from within Hinduism. But that is not Hinduism's fault. You have to be able to dissociate Hinduism from the temple itself. The religion is much greater than a temple, priest or some archaic tradition. But, I agree that we should actively seek a solution. Yet, I don't see any proposal for a reform mission within Guruvayoor. Every priest seems to be washing his hands off the issue.

I agree with you that -- anyone who has faith in the temple or hindu religion should be allowed to enter the temple. But how do you define who has faith and who doesnt ?? Thats the hard part. In this case Ravi Krishna seems to be a believer.
