SrI:

Dear  Members of the Oppiliappan List :

This will be the last of the mails in Oppiliappan
List on this topic .

I have released a number of messages sofar from
the concerned Members about the decision of
the Chief Minister of TN before the embers of his election
politics hardly cooled . He must be a Vicious , Vengeful Vandal.

A ploitician stooping so low to do one upmanship
in the repeated battle to push a  minority group down
is despicable . His moves cause of the grave threat to
the ancient temple culture and makes one suspect
about his other motives (Viz) , appointing cohorts to join
in the plunder . This crass politically motivated move  of
the CM to please his electoral base and punish the opponent
is a cheap grand standing .

Let me add a few things in perspective and close the discussions :

1. Bhagavaan belongs to every body . He looks at all
Jeevans caged in different bodies and VarNAsramams
with equal compassion .

2. Casteism need not be injected into these discussions
    but politicians find it alluring to kindle these flames
    and divide Hindus and Non Hindus . The politicians of
    some other states have been consumed by the very same
    fire that they have kindled . I thought Tamil Nadu is an
    intelligent  state , which offered economic hope by bringing
    in New Industries . Apparently , the new CM is creating
    discord for advancement of his own political and private
    agenda .

3. Aagamaas are ancient and a Mastery of them is vital to perform
the ordained AarAdhanams . Incompetent people overrun by
crass commerical motives perform these AarAdhanams for
PerumAL at many dhivya dEsams . Very few places are left
where AarAdhanam is performed with sincerity and Faith.
AarAdhanam is a fruitless in those cases and is a worthless
activity . Saannidhyam leaves the deities and the power is lost .
One may as well perform SaaLagrama AarAdhanam at home .

4. In fairness , the CM should take over all the churches ,
the Mosques besides Hindu Temples . He will see what a fire he
would get into , when he does that .

5. I remember the previous times , when such attempts were made
and it only hurt the archaka community , which rebounded in few
Months .

4.   Sri Jalasayanan makes an interesting point about the economic pull
of some one wanting to enter these professions for the sake of making
a decent living . The incentives are poor although the current archakAs
stay in at many poor revenue producing temples because of
family links.  Number of them are helping their children to move out of 
these
traditional positions  since it is horrible to work under the apathy  of the 
Hindu Endowment Board and the tyranny of the local Executive officers . I 
must say that some of the archakaas at "wealthy" temples are too greedy and 
take advantage of the visiors and the PerumAl suffers .

6. Let us get well trained , god-fearing  competent priests well versed
in Aagamaas  , who are paid decent salaries and have respected
career paths to uphold our ancient traditions .

5. I conclude that the current move of the CM is more of thumbing noses
with the opposition that lost to him . The Court system all the way to
the Supreme Court in a democratic country like India will deprive the CM of
any success with his malicious scheme .
