Dear Sri Govindakrishnan, Very practically wise statement. Already the archaka community has started opposing. The damage done by taking away the temples is not permanent. We can retrieve the temples and restore them. The dikshidhars in Chidambaram fought a very arduous battle up to the Supreme Court and finally emerged victorious. When Jayalalitha wanted to introduce Anna Dhan in Churches, the Christians refused to accept it sayingg that it is against their principles. So they would rather have investments by the Government in schools etc. They have the audacity to decide what they take in charity. But when it to comes to Hindu traditions, there is muteness whether temple money is spent on colleges, hostpitals, annadhan or whether temple traditions are broken. When HR & CE does not invest money in to temple protection why control temples? The current generation of Sri Vaishnavas should ask themselves : Do I have the same genes of my forefathers who fought the muslim invasion and laid down 13000 lives in Sri Rangam? I am not against other communities becoming temple archakas if it is allowed in the agamas and is in line with temple traditions. But we should not allow it to happen if it is an act of aggression against us. It is our basic duty to make sure that we defeat the move and let this move of inclusion be governed by intelligent and learned practising traditional scholars.

There is a long way to go, of course. First it needs to be published and objections obtained from public. Then the implementation.For that the Govt. has to find institutions to 'qualify' 'anyoneq' Questions as to where are such insitutions, 'who' will teach and 'what' are the qualifications. To do that the Govrnment as in other cases, would form Commitee and everyone knows what happens to the Commitees and their recommendations. Assuming recommendations do come, litigations on them are not ruled out. When the question of which Thiruman should adore the elephant takes ages in the Court one can imagine the web of legal battle on these issues. In the meantime the Govt. will have a thousand other day to day problems to face than to run after qualifiying 'anyone' for the job of the lacklusture priesthood. At the end of the day, the malady lies in the temples being under the Government. The day the HR and CE ministries were contemplated the wisemen like Rajaji and others should have resisted and stopped that move. The damage has been done and which ever Government comes here after, the issue would remain alive for reasons other than real interest to implement. In the meantime the existing practice would be continuing. Srivilliputtur Govindakrishnan Alagar --------------------------------- Love cheap thrills?
