Second Guruvayur Satyagraham, the need of the hour
by balakrishnan varrier on Jun 04, 2007 11:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has made it clear that things change according to time. The orthodox Hindus followed certain customs based on hygiene (the mensuration period of women when they are not supposed to enter places of worship or even touch other people in the house) "pula" or defilement on account of birth or death, which non-Hindus do not follow. So the non-Hindus were debarred temple entry. But the orthodox Bhramins barred even Hindus who followed these rituals, for reasons of having born in low caste. The progressive Maharaja of Travancore stepped in and changed the law. But in the erstwhile Malabar area the Orthodox Bhramins did not budge. Thus came the famous Guruvayur Satyagraham by the then Congress leader Kelappaji with his then disciple AKG or A.K.Gopalan, the veteran Marixist leader of later days and forced the authorities to change the law and allow the then "untouchable" Hindus to enter the temple.
The great devotee of Sree Guruvayurappan, singer K.J.Yesudas was denied entry by the same Orthodoxy. And now even the children of a Hindu whose marriage was solemnised as per Hindu custom and whose family live like Hindus, are not given freedom to worship their dear Lord.
A second Guruvayur Satyagraha is required to change the mind set. That is the need of the hour.

Kazi Nazrul Islam, one of India's most famous poet who wrote revolutionary poems in Bengal ALSO WROTE PROBABLY THE BESTEST SHYAMA SANGEET (Songs in honor of Goddess Kali).

BUT CPIM DID NOT DEMAND NAZRUL BE ALLOWED IN KALIGHAT TEMPLE. NEITHER NAZRUL DEMANDED THAT.

CPIM IS KERALA IS MOST CASTEIST, MOST COMMUNAL PARTY IN INDIA.

its doing all thse for Votebank Politics.

YESUDAS HIMSELF SAID IN CNN-IBN HE IS A XTIAN. UNLESS HE IS A HINDU, WHY NE NEEDS TO VISIT A HINDU TEMPLE?

AR RAHMAN NEVER DEMANDS HE BE ALLOWED TO A HINDU TEMPLE.

ITS TIME PEOPLE WAKE UP AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW XTIANS ARE TRYING TO MANIPULATE PROPAGANDA.

SHAME ON YOU COMMIES.

You are a Communist who is trying to whip up caste and anti-Hindu sentiment to get 45% minority Vote.

You folks are worst type of hypocrats.

TEMPLE ENTRY PROCLAMATION WAS DONE BY GANDHIJI AND RAJAJI WHOM COMMIES HATE BUT MEET JIHADI MADANI FOR MUSLIM VOTE.
