I entirely sympathize with Mr. Vyalar Ravi and his family. Hinduism in its broadest sense is a universal religion conferring freedom of belief,worship,practice and advocates Sanathanadharma. Unfortunately such lofty faith is marred by the action of a few who totally ignore the tenets/prescriptions of the universality of Hinduism but practice narrow outlooked customs which ought to be thrown out in this 21st century. Lord Krishna who says in His Bhagavd Gita that he is present in all living forms and commends the self-less service done to the living beings irrespective of their birth, caste,creed, form etc. is the true worship and a pathway to salvation = was himself born as a cow-herd - a low caste by the standard of the so called enlightened - is worshipped in all His glory by all including the upper castes. Then why discriminate the human beings and hurt sentiments? This act itself is an abuse of Lord.
