Temples are not for Tourists - Ambedkar Study Circle

Temples are not for Tourist's- Ambedkar Study Circle6/7/2007 7:43:02 AM HK
Thiruvananthapuram: Temples are certainly not for Tourist’s, Told Ambedkar Study Circle President C. Govindan. He was responding to the move by Devaswom Minister Sudhakaran to bring a bill to allow Christians and Muslims inside the Temples.

Temples like Guruvayur strictly follows age old rituals formulated by Adi Sankaracharya, and it clearly says Hindus are only allowed inside. So why not those who says that they believe in Guruvayoorappan get converted into Hinduism and later seek the entry instead of making unwanted controversies.

In case of inter religious marriages involving Christian and a Hindu, inside a church they insist on conversion into Christianity. Like that who ever wish to follow Sanathana Dharma shouldn’t shy away from proclaiming him as Hindu

Non-Hindus having to convert to Hinduism to claim the right to temple-entry should be a sine-qua-non. Hindus believe there are many ways to God and therefore they should have the right of entry to churches and mosques but not the other way round because Christians and Muslims each believe theirs is the only true religion. Therefore for the sake of Christianity and Islam, no entry for Christians and Muslims into Hindu temples and for the sake of Hinduism, entry to churches and mosques for Hindus. This should be the law.
