Nuns' visit to Tamil Nadu temple: BJP files complaint

  •   Sat, May 12 2018 12:23:42 AM

Tiruchirapalli, May 12 (The Hindu): The BJP and some Hindu outfits on Friday preferred a complaint with Srirangam police, seeking registration of a case against the temple authorities in connection with the visit of a group of Christian nuns into Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple.

The joint complaint, signed by BJP State executive committee member Sethu. Aravind and representatives of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Hindu Alaya Meetpu Iyakkam and Anaithu Hindu Iyakkam, was submitted to the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Srirangam) in the evening.

The entry of the nuns in their religious attire into the temple, which was well-equipped with CCTV cameras and police security, had hurt the sentiments of devotees. Their visit had only made a mockery of the temple sanctity, the complainants said.

The nuns were part of a group of tourists from Kerala who visited the temple on Tuesday. They went around the 1000 Pillar Mandapam in the prakaram of the temple but did not go inside the sannidhis.

    A Faith /A Religion is a Weak One if it uses the Methods of Force or Coercion or Any Other Method for Conversion instead of Intelligence. Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma uses only Intelligence and Logic to Establish its Concepts and Convince its Followers and Critics. It is a Way of Life for the Following:
    Followers of Other Religions grossly Lacking Knowledge in Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma and prefer something which is Very Lucid and Something Very Easy to Learn /Practice and brings them closer to the Foreigners.
    Followers of Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma grossly Lacking Knowledge in their Own Religion in view of Poor Karmas and Poor Purva Janma Vaasanaas but call themselves as Hindus.
    Secularists and Pseudo Intellectuals who call themselves as Hindus.
    Converts who are unable to come back to the Parent Religion in view of the Karmas of their Ancestors.
    People who cannot digest the Contents as they feel it is Inimical to their Ego and Status.
    Matter /Energy cannot be Destroyed and it can only be Converted into another Form goes the Statement in Physics. Physical Body can be Destroyed but Not the Subtle Energy within the Body. Re-Birth is a Definite Phenomenon. This Subtle Energy exists in the Form of Air/Vayu only until it Commences its Next Cycle.
    From VISHNU (A Sanskrit Word) for Subtle Cosmic Force in Silence in the Brahmaanda / Ever Expanding Cosmic Egg emanates Brahma.
    From Brahma (A Sanskrit Word) for Creation emanates the 14 Manus and so on for Creation.
    A Rudra/Shiva (A Sanskrit Word) for Destruction and Waxing and Waning of Every Form of Bhoomi / Planet /Galaxy etc.
    Hindus/Secularists/Pseudo Intellectuals should Cork their Nava Dwaras before commenting on anything. They would be doing a great Justice/Service to Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma by keeping quiet.

    A Religion / A Brilliant Faith of Unbounded History / Time, Culture, Arts, Music, Science, Ethics, Aesthetics, Epistemology, Logic, Astronomy, Astrology, Language, Literature, Grammar, Puranas / Stories (that might have been Unbelievable Yesterday, Believable to some Extent Today but may become a Reality Tomorrow - Example is the Pushpaka Vimana in Ramayana), Dhanurveda, Medicine (Ayurveda), Surgery, Yoga, Politics, Dharma Shastra, Temple Architecture and Containing All Aspects of a Complete and Unparalleled Philosophical Identity cannot be destroyed in One Stroke because it is a like a Banyan Tree and its Roots will come out at some Other Place.It is like a Sponge Ball which will Absorb and Release both the Old and New Concepts as such being its Inherent Property even if one Tears it or Shreds it into pieces.One cannot Desecrate it as it Never Desecrates Others and if One finds pleasure in Desecrating it then they themselves become a Laughing Stock.

    Attacks of Allauddin Khillji,Malik Kafur and Tipu Sultan on SriRangam Temple resulted in killing of more than 15,000 Brahmins within the Temple Precincts and more than 50,000 Hindus on Streets at Srirangam.What happened to these Invaders?Allauddin Khillji was poisoned by Malik Kafur.Malik Kafur was brutally Butchered into Pieces by his Own Army and finally what happened to Tipu Sultan - He lost his Sons and finally killed in the Battle. Satyam - Shivam - Sundaram in Sanskrit means Truth - Purity - Beauty meaning Speak the Truth Always ,

    Establish Purity of Mind Always and Finally Appreciate the Beauty Around You meaning Keep the Pancha Bhoothas always Clean - Akash/Dyaus (Space) - Vayu (Air) - Agni (Fire) - Jal/Varuna (Water) - Prithvi/Bhumi (Earth) which the Hindus Never do and Never even care to keep the Temples - the Places of Worship Clean. It indicates the Callous Attitude towards Everything leading to Tolerance for Anything Disgusting happening around them. So called Education has not done its Duty.

    Indonesia and Malaysia are Muslim Countries. They follow Islam but it is observed that they are more Knowledgeable and Practitioners of Ramayana and Mahabharatha. They are in a position to differentiate between Religion and Samskriti (Culture).BJP expects only this.

    To Learn and Understand Hinduism / Sanathana Dharma and its Tenets, the Entire Life is not Enough and Rebirths with Good Karmas and Vaasanaas are essential. Hence only the Hindus alone are permitted to enter into the Agamic Temples. Others are Never Permitted and Should Never be Permitted to enter into the Hindu Temple Premises which are of Agamic in Nature. Any One can enter into the Non -Agamic Temples. SriRangam Temple (An Agamic Temple) has witnessed Severe Blood Bath in the Past and its History is Full of Invasions and Sacrifices. The Supreme Power Controlling the Vast Galaxies and the Black Holes in the Ever Expanding Universe of Billions and Billions of Light Years definitely has the Power to reach us in Time when we call him with Love and Affection if that is what is called as God who has the Power to Penetrate and Permeate anywhere at any time in any Form.That is why this Unique Power is called as OMNIPOTENT,OMNIESCIENT and OMNIPRESENT.

    Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma is not developed by a Single Individual. It has developed over a Period of Time (Unknown) by Rishis, Sages, Intellectuals, Philosophers, Scientists, Mathematicians etc., who have contributed to the Religion in the way how it should have been done i.e.,Didactics, Argumentation, Sophistry, Logic, Experience and Imagination and by All Other Methods Known and Unknown to all of us, for the sake of the Posterity. Hinduism never feeds anybody Food, Religion, Education or Job as it is the duty of the respective community to take care of their brethren. Traditional Ancestral Education has been destroyed. Hinduism is not responsible for this degradation. A Religion / A Brilliant Faith of Unbounded History / Time, Culture, Arts, Music, Science, Ethics, Epistemology, Logic, Astronomy, Astrology, Language, Literature, Grammar, Stories (that might have been False Yesterday and Today but may become a Reality Tomorrow example is Pushpaka Vimana in Ramayana), Dhanurveda, Medicine (Ayurveda), Surgery, Yoga, Politics, Dharma Shastra, Temple Architecture and Containing All Aspects of a Complete and Unparalleled Philosophical Identity cannot be simply written away by few alphabets in Good English or Any Other Language as a Weak Faith by Few Stupid Ignorant Fools. In fact this shows Ignorance, Lack of Knowledge, Arrogance and Stupidity and will Maim the Individuals in long run.

    Idol Worship gets its Sanctity from the Vast Literature associated with the Study of Agama Shastras or the Agamas, Anushtana /Anustanikas,Vairagya/VairagyaPurushaas, Aachaara/Aachaara Anusandhanikaas ,Vedas/Vaidikaas, Vedanthas/ Vedanthacharyaars and Aahnika/Aahnika Gyanikas and Mantras/Mantra Prayogis. Idol Worship therefore is an Intellectual form of Worship though basal in the First Look, One should as Well Understand and Remember that All Forms of Worship in All Other Religions is Much More Basal then What is seen in Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma.In fact the Idol is established with Mantra Prayogam, Worshipped with Mantra Prayogam and it Reflects the Aura of all the People looking at it like a Mirror. Hence we see our Ancestors also in that Form if they might have visited that Temple and that is why Kula- Devatha Worship is Very Very Important in Hinduism. Bruhaspatya gets its Sanctity from Aachaara, Anushtana, Aahnika, Vairagya, Yagnas, Veda Prayoga and Vedantha Studies. They perform the Poorva and Apara Prayoga.
    If Hinduism has Casteism then one should stay away from it in a Dignified Fashion. People who believe in it and want it to exist will follow this faith. Casteism takes a Different Form in Other Religions though not Explicit. Many a Converts regret at a Later Stage when everything including their Identity is Totally Lost.

    A Religion / A Brilliant Faith of Unbounded History / Time, Culture, Arts, Music, Science, Ethics, Epistemology, Logic, Astronomy, Astrology, Language, Literature, Stories (that might have been False Yesterday and Today but may become a Reality Tomorrow), Dhanurveda, Medicine (Ayurveda), Surgery, Yoga, Temple Architecture and Containing All Aspects of a Complete and Unparalleled Philosophical Identity, Indigenously developed without Aping Others cannot be understood in 100 (One Hundred) Years of Living Age and the with the Present Levels of Intelligence. One should pray to the Almighty to be born as a Devout Hindu in the Next Janma or Birth with the Inclination and the Required Intelligence Levels to comprehend the Hindu Religion / Sanathana Dharma to some extent and more so at least in the Minimum of Next TEN (10) Births with the Same Degree of Devoutness and Intelligence Levels before Achieving Moksha or Complete Salvation with No Rebirth at all. Idol Worship, Pujas and Prasad Distribution and Consumption, Visits to Temples etc., are only the Basal Level of Worship to Cater to the Lesser Individuals With/Without Various High Profile Degrees reflecting their Educational Qualifications and at the same time their Ignorance and Stupidity. “While the Wheels of the Mills of the King Roll and Grind instantly, that of the Lord Roll and Grind Slowly, Surely but Definitely”. We should remember that Every Thought or Activity or Philosophy that gets Developed and gets Implemented is either for the Growth or for the Destruction only of all the Living Beings on Earth. History and Time has shown that and that is Nature and a Part of the Will of the Almighty.

    For the Benefit of All. Please kindly read Articles of TR Ramesh in Vijayvaani.com dated 12.02.2012 and 27.07.2011 and Other Articles under the Title Corruption in HRCE etc while browsing through the Net for Other Personal Matters before commenting on the Great Hindu Religion and for Heavens sake read Good Books on Hinduism.To start with it is suggested to visit any Vivekananda Kendra before going Deep into the Religion for which this Age and the Present Level of Intelligence is not Enough.
    Thorough knowledge of the World History and of course the Indian History is a definitely a must.

    All Hindu Temples should immediately be taken over by the Ardent and the Hardened Knowledgeable Followers of the Sanathana Dharma / Hindu Religion with Representations (Hardened / Ardent) from the Central Government (Pro-Hindu) and the State Government (Pro-Hindu). It is high time that HRCE is disbanded with and the Temple Properties retrieved. There are a Great Many Hindu Loyalists from All Communities of India. What would have happened if Bhagavat Gita would have been recited at Other Religious Places intolerant to Hinduism. Will People talk about Broad Mindedness then. Stupid Ignorant Fools. They are ignorant about their Own Religion, Culture, Rituals, Habits and Dress Codes. Misbehaving Hindu Priests and Hindu Scholars lacking Knowledge in Agamas, Ahnika, Rituals, Shastras, Sampradaya and Other Connected Literature and Rituals and Dress Codes should be thrown out. They should be regularly tested for their Quality (QIP), Knowledge and Vairagya. HRCE fellows are looting the Temple Property. Law has to be enacted in the Parliament accordingly when BJP is in Majority. Now or Never. Do people ever know that many Religious Centres inimical to Hindu Religion have been constructed in Hindu Temple Properties. Hats off to HRCE and Registration Department, Politicians and All Other Agencies. We are still Tolerant and speak about Broad Mindedness. A day will come when people will have No Space to Speak Independently and Frankly. Efforts of Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Swami Vivekananda have gone to dogs. I still maintain the regard due for Other Religions with Bible, Quran and Other Religious Books in my House as a True Proud Hindu and devote some minimum time reading them but definitely not in any temple.

    If Rahul was welcomed by the Mangaluru diocese bishop Dr. A.P. D'Souza in the sancta sanctorum, why can't a christian, whether a nun n habit or a padri in cassock - (of course, they do not wear uniforms anymore) -, enter a temple. Gone are the days when a Christian was prohibited by the RC church to enter any holy place if it is not a catholic place, even to an Anglican church. The church made a U-turn long ago, so should the Hindu temples and even mosques. I would urge all these fundamentalist dudes to change their ways and attitudes

    BJP is behaving as they created Hindu God. After all, BJP is a political party and they know a little bit or nothing about Hinduism. In reality how many BJP members get up early morning and doing pooja?

    God will never see who is coming to his home? Almighty God wants every one should be clean hearted. Either Nuns, Bramins, Dalits, rich, poor, or handicapped all are equal to God.
    By the way, I am Catholic and I visit many temples with my friends and take Tirtha and Prasada.

    Unbelieveable.Just because Nuns entered the temple as visitors, in their attire, BJP files complaint.?what did they expect? In birth suite? Looks like their brain doesnt work properly.Why cant understand that nuns only visited ,not as thieves,they cant wear other attire,but it is covering the body ,not exposing any body parts.can only say ,may God enlighten their brains.We ,catholics will not say anything if a non catholic enters our church ,with respectful attire and doesnt do any disgraceful acts,,or doesnt destroy our church belongings.shouldnt we go with another a bit respectful ,instead of always seeking one or another faults and fight ,make the courts unnecessary more cases than time allows?Tolerance ,brothers ,tolerance I say.

    First of all there is no basis for this complaint and not against any law or the constitution. This complaint will be rejected and thrown to dust bin. There is no question about sentiments here in fact it is a very good cordial gesture from one community to other and the vast majority of Hindus will welcome it except communal BJP. BJP a communal party doesn't want peaceful co-existence and harmony in the community.
