I have a friend of mine who's from a low caste, and he's planning to have a Ram temple where he will offer pujas. He is inviting everyong, including brahmins. He believs that Hinduism treats its followers equally. I dont know about that...who wants to go? any brahmins willing to receive blessings from him?
I posted the above message in this forum, for which a devot Hindu replied against me "Go to kerala, there many temples are controlled by lower caste people. In TN there are many temples for Kula devatha...etc..where lower caste people perform pujas."
His reply was permanently removed because of "ABUSE"... You people cant bear the fact that some lower caste people control Hindu temples? If you, the one reading this, is not a brahmin, and a Hindu....SHAME ON YOU...Why are you still a Hindu? You are ok to be an outcast in your own religion? You are not ashamed?

Why was his reply banned then? Someone couldnt accept it...!!! you say i'm "trying divide us on caste lines".. How ridiculous...!!!.... you say there are caste lines, which means there are divisions and then you say I'm the one who's trying to divide. Caste is already there....people are already divided...caste system is inherent in Hinduism...
Why did Rama kill Shambuka, a lower caste devotee who did penances to reach the gods? Because a brahmin complained to him that his child is sick (or died) because a sudra performed penances. After the killing, the gods in the heavens praised rama and showered flowers on him for defending the heavenlies from the sudras.....you call that equality?

pls read my reply above. If your words are true, that's great..!!.. I appreciate your willingness to treat people equally. Things like that dont happen commonly. Not many Brahmins are willing to do that like u..

See how your message got "Reported for abuse"??... that's the testimony..why should it be considered "abuse"?.. you were only speaking your experience and your willingness to treat lower castes with honor
