Let me ask a question to all who oppose Tantri. My view is that Tantri could be wrong in judging this case. But before humiliating him, We all know that Yesudas as debarred from attending his church (from his own society), the day he penned wonderful songs on Lord Krishna. Till now, he cannot enter that church which his family used to visit and pray because of this reason. Why cant this minister address this issue too along with what he sees as a serious constitution violation? My take is such problems are there in every religion. A muslim who went to learn mohini kathak dance in Kerala has been ostracised from the entire muslim village just because he wanted a learn something Hindu Culture.

Well said, Mr Venkat. Perfect example. I am told that the great singer could not even perform his son's communion in his church. Somehow in this country, especially in South India, thanks to the politicians, seculiarism means Hindu thrashing.

really good what u said is correct. Definitely being hindu Vaylar Ravi shall be eligible to enter any temple in India and looking forward priests should change their philosophy. But it does not mean it happens only in India and that to in Hindu religion. It happens everywhere in other religions one should take up such issues & think in comprehensive manner instead of shouting against and beating hindu religion always.
But Vylar Ravi and his family has full right to ask about purification and should go to court and it should not happen after entrance by any hindu. Otherwise permitting highly placed people like ministers and govt authorities only will be another grave mistake.
Christians who always say they are modern & claim for love and peace could not correct mistake of being sorry for Galileo for so many years.
Muslims can kill anybody who is not accepting their religion. At least Hindus have never invaded any country or forced people to change religion with the help of sword (Muslims )or service or financial help (Christians).
Definitely we have some social problems which will take some time to solve. But Hindu religion is most peace loving and allowing to grow your life in way u want and it is looking other religions very respectfully unlike others.

Dear Ravindra,
before commenting on religion, first you need to understand what is Hindu, Muslim and christian Hindu is not a religion, it is a 'region/place' where some people are living over there called hindus and name originated form sindhu river, in this case all indians are hindus, people are migrated from differnet place of world to india and to get supreme power in the community they made upper and lower casts. In Islam says, Islam is not a religion, It is an arabic word which means that follwers of submission to god in peace is called islam. Allah is not another god, existence of supreme power is callled god in english, allah in arabic, deyvam in south language. Jesus never called him as Jesus christ during his life time, his original name was Esha then ecome eshos and finally Jesus through latin word. Bible is meaning form the latin/greek word biblos means book.
So first learn yor religion ie baghavadgeetha, ramayan, then go to Quran/bible, finally you will say that religions are cretaed by humans.
As a indian we simply follw others and thinks that we are great and other are fools. So comeout from the box understand the world, wish the best
Do not give WRONNG info on this forum.Yesudas was never barred from enetring into any church.Infact a particular day of every year he sings in a church in Cochin (he does same thing in Mookambika as well)
