Friends, Vayalar Ravi has to be appreciated for bringing up his children and grand children as hindus in spite of being married to a christian. As it is most hindus believe all gods are one, and what if he had started believing in christ and brought up his children has christians. Does it make a happier scenario. When we are fighting against conversion, does it not look mean to stigmatise a person for having kept to his native beliefs. Anyway what has the orthodoxy of the kerala priests achieved except that 45% of its population is non-hindu. why dont they accept it and start encouraging people who have gone out of hinduism to come back to its fold. This type of incident will only make the missionaries more stronger and the people wanting to come back to hinduism shed that idea and stick on to whatever religion they are following now. Finally let me make it clear, i have my own differences with the politics of Mr.Vayalar Ravi but that shouldnt make us blind and not support him when he is absolutely right.

This s a well made story , look how he is controdicting his own statements the first one "When I was in Trivandrum I saw the Malayalama Manorama television channel showing the news about the purification conducted by the Guruvayur temple against the entry of my son"
now the second " The Devasthanam management said if I objected, then the priests would stop the pujas" now my question is was tht a live show n manorama TV?

what crap ? is ravi doin a big favor or what? first he needs the hindu votes, second the arguement is about his wifes entry not his ! in a way ur right but customs are not only imp in hinduism but moreso in the churches both orthodoxy and catholic or protestant. By the way ms mary or mercy is still christian and hasnt converted to hinduism has she? does she follow the rules or even know about them however absurd they may be?
