There are three wrong points in this Article.
by Rohit on Jun 04, 2007 06:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The first one is saying Nair and Namboodthiri, both aare matriarchal, which is not the case. Namboothiri, the Kerala Brahmin follows Patriarchism.

The second one is saying Guruvayoorappan is an avatar of Lord Krishna. He is not considered as avtar of Krishna, but Krishna himself, more specifically Krishna as an infant.

And the third is Ravi saying the whole issue is because he is of backward caste Ezhava. The issue was his wife being Christian and Hindu Temples in Keral does'nt allow non hindus to enter temple premises.
So his son was not considered a Hindu because his mother was Christian.

As per Indian regulations if Father of the family is Hindu then the whole family is Hindu.It's the same in all religion.

Ex. Rajiv Gandhi's family.

God is common to everyone.

Are you LKG educated? Sonia and both her children are registered Catholic Chritians!! Anyone in the family can technically take ANY religion that he wants ... independent of "Father's religion"!!

In Hindus a child takes his Father's caste, surname and religion. So Valayar Ravi's children are Hindus like him. Praise his wife to raise her kids as Hindus. And I doubt God discrimintes against anyone.

I agree with you. I was shocked by this ignorant statement from Ravi.

The whole point is missed here. Guruvayoor temple never forbids Ezhavas from entering the temple.
