Certainly. So if someone wants to change and be a Hindu, by following Hindu dharma, why not?

But does that include someone who is not a practicing hindu.

You mean practice 'Sanadana Darma'?😊 Which follower actuly practicing their religion..........all do just prayers......not practice...😊

Now strictly staying on Guruvayoor temple rules, I personally known many people from different religion who have gone inside the temple. Most schools take students for yearly excursion and nuns of Catholic schools even wear saree for that one time visit to temple along with kids and they are not stopped because no one knows them. The problem arises only if it is Yesudas or Sonia Gandhi or Mercy Ravi.

Tantris do prashnam and shuddhi only if famous personalities enter the premise. What about so many unknown people disrupting the sanctity?

Personaly I feel Yesudas should allow to pray...cos he is a Devotee........But why societies leaders or other cultural people silent againt other religion who not ready to change.......

Some places womens not allow to pray in mousque......wheres our ministors and other cultural people to talk about this?other Marriage registraction act, matter why some are against cos their religion allow to marry 3,4 time?? so they dont want to register...??😳

Believe, I am strictly arguing about the main topic. The things you mentioned is something to ponder on and discussed when we talk about religious inequality and uniform civil code. Here the ritual followed by this temple is not a retaliation on other religion.

Maya, I will disagree with u on this, its not just for famous personalities, but it is for all those who the temple authorities know or come to know to be non hindus.

There is a big board put outside the temple and on the walls as u enter, that entry is only meant for hindus. Yet, if a non hindu enters and goes unnoticed, then one cant do anything. But where one is aware that the devotee is a non hindu, then they take precaution to take curative steps.

Long time back, when I was very young, I remember going to Guruvayoor with my parents, when we went to the temple, we found it shut and we were told that the previous day, there was some devotee who was found within the temple premises who was admittedly a practicing Christian. The temple was closed the next day for the purification process. The devotee was not a famous personality.

On prashams, I believe in it.

Priya, By famous personalities I meant the ones Temple authorities come to know. I cited names of famous personalities because it is easier to identify.

My main question here is isn't temple's purity affected by those who fool authorities? Is the policy 'what you don't know won't hurt you' applicable here when this whole sanctity issue is taken so seriously?

Actually after posing tthis question I remember something I read about Guruvayoor losing the purity because of this and devaswom was planning about doing a mass-shudhi which would cost crores and right then this Sabarimala issue came to limelight.

@greatmaratha: Priya, It is always nice exchanging views with you. Whenever I visit Kerala these kind questions crop in because I also visit many temples in other states and then I question about the practises in Kerala temples. They might be having the reasons for doing so but the corruption in devaswom boards in the worst.

I'ven't seen the posts of GM ji and Maya ji...will see them as soon I get some time..😊

I somehow feel bad for the temple authorities of Kerala....Reason....they have some rules framed several years ago....some them which need not be modified and some need not be questioned as the rules are not fatal...

Why is the govt poking into the affairs of the temples ? If they say its in the interest of common janta..the onlyjanta who like the rules will go there ,others who are not bothered to follow the rules..need not go there...

How can a communist know the beauty of a religion and its temples.....?
