It is your faith in Hinduism that took u to Guruvayur if u accept this, then u should also accept that people who had performed the purification ceremony also did it in their good faith and u should not complain.
Mrs. Mercy Ravi had attended the NDTV show where i was in the audience and she had talked about the costume regulations at Guruvayur, pls understand by letting the other religion people this is what is going to happen. today they raise their voice against costume and tommorrow for some other reason and hinduism cannot suffer for one person. Dont force people to do it also, this country is already threading on thin line of communal harmony and if somebody of other religion knowingly or unknowingly does some wrong who is responsible for the after math?
If Your faith is really true and good, have belief ur prayers will always be answered. Do not be disturbed by these things, appreciate them who atleast follow the culture and remember temples are places of worship and not picnic places as your Wife meant in the NDTV show.

It is ironic that Mrs. Ravi is complaining about dress codes in temples. Nearly all churches have strict dress code regulations throughout world. You cannot enter in shorts (even if it falls below the knees), sandals, dresses that are above knee length, etc. In many churches, women are not allowed to enter in trousers, and must wear skirts/dresses with hemline below the knees. The list of DOs and DONTs in entering churches is quite long. In India, all the large churches are very strict. Yet, this woman complains about dress codes in Indian temples. Methinks that this is some christian conspiracy to break hinduism from all levels. I'm pretty sure that she has the backing of christian church; otherwise, she as a catholic will not be so bold as to declare that she follows Hindus customs. I'm sure she knows that she will be persecuted by the catholic church, just as the singer Yesudas was persecuted by his church when he openly declared hs visits to Sabrimala.
That is exactly the point. Mrs. Mercy complained against the dress code at temple. The argument is churches also have dress codes, not just the temples.
