“e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees11/3/2007 11:22:54 AM HK
Thiruvananthapuram : The CPI(M) government's agenda to humiliate Hindus and our Gods continues unabated.This time they came up with an innovative idea to ridicule Millions of Ayyapa devotees by launching a new venture called e-Darshanam, in which they will telecast the live image of Ayyapa Diety throughinternet!This ridiculous decision is taken by Devaswom Board president C.K.Guptan and right hand of Anti Hindu Minister Sudhagaran.The Devosom Board President is a CPM senior leader & son in law of former Chief Minister EMS. Appam & Aravana Prasadam would be given through credit cards as well!!The Devaswom Boards' unanimous decision (CPM decision) without consulting with Temple Thantris and Devotees is meant only to denigrate the most revered shrine of Hindus.This controversial decision is said to be taken inorder to divert the Devotees and Media attention from the Aravana scam in which they gave contract to a Muslim for making Ayyapa's offering bypassing all norms.

Re: “e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees What else can you expect from these depraved governments that spend billions of ruppees to send muslims for the haj.This is tax payers money and who are the majority of tax payers, Hindus.As long as tax payers will not protest their money will be spent on such minority bootlicking and Hindus will be treated to such insults.

Re: “e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees Lord Ayyapa is considered as one of the greatest socialist who told that in everybody I am present. So we the Hindus have a request to great CPI M leaders that don’t make more socialism in Sabarimala by making new customs. Sabarimala pilgrimage is not a simple one for a Hindus he takes vrutham for 41days to take the darshan of Lord Ayyapa. Now the great CPI M wants to give the darshan in a button click. There are so many other things that we need in Sabarimala that the government has to do so pls try for that and not get into things which affect the religious sentiments.

Re: “e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees What a shame that in a country of over 85 percent hindus, the majority interests and sentiments are trampled day in and day out by atheists and anti-hindu forces.Hindus must protest against this crass commercialization of opur sacred Sabarimala shrine and centuries-old customs and prevent the atheists and communists against this virulent attack on our beliefs and customs. As one reader said in this forum hindus must organize in every locality or around the temple of their locality and prevent control of our affairs by our enemies who are bent on destroying our customs and beliefs and our ethos as well.VHP,RSS and BJP must organize state-wide and nation-wide agitation to liberate hindus and hindu temples from our vicious enemies all around, whether in media or in governments and elsewhere from pseudo-secular and anti-hindu pseudo-intellectuals as well.

Live telecast of poojas being performed on the deity may one day become a reality just as electrification, mike system, closed circuit TV and live broadcast and telecast of major functions are a reality today. However, decisions should not be taken by bypassing the thantri and, in today's growing people's participation in temple affairs, without a public debate on the issue. In the meantime, Marxist party henchmen must be barred from interfering in temple affairs. Hindus should form temple defense squads to physically prevent anti-Hindus from handling temple affairs. It is noteworthy that some Churches have decided to kick-out Communists from holding any posts of power. The point here is, Marxists can always be identified. They should not be allowed the benefit of dual loyalty. Either they are loyal to the Hindu cause or the Communist cause. There is no meeting ground between both.

Re: “e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees Hindus must step up their agitation against the arbitrary and unilateral decisions of the controversial Dewaswom Board comprising mostly of marxists.Our Deities cannot be photographed- it is against our age-old tradition.If the muslim is preparing the Aravana payasam for our Lord Ayyappan, we must give wide publicity to the devotees to reject/boycott it.Somebody please file a case in the High Court.If we do not get justice there,we should approach the SC, but in the meantime, we must simultaneously mobilize public support for our Cause.Do we have a set of committed lawyers to fight our cases or not? Let them be paid their fees, but they must do their work sincerely.However strong public protest is essential in such matters.

Re: “e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees I hope BJP led Govt takes chanrge in Karnataka soon, and abolish Govt control of Hindu Temples, Mathas, which PSUEDOS use to steal, denigrate Hinduism, fund Xtian Church, Masque. FREEING HINDU TEMPLES IN KARNATAKA WILL HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT IN OTHER SOUTHERN INDIAN STATE. Hindu temples must be free from Govt control, and be given back to Devotees. No where in India, except in souther states, Govt controls Hindu temples.Its unimaginable that CPIM in West Bengal will control Kalighat, or Dakshineswar temple. People will NOT allow.HINDUS IN KERALA MUST UNITE DESTROYING CASTE, AND SUB-NATIONALISM. KERALA IS LAND OF ADI SANKARA, THE FORMOST NATIONALIST, FROM ANTIQUITY.[ Here is a small personal experience: CPIM Local bodies charge Hindu Devotees in many places of West Bengal during special gathering, religious occassion like Gangasagar Mela, Tarakeswar. Last year, I went to carry Gangajal to Tarakeswar (a famous Shiva temple in South Bengal), which is a 35 KM walk. CPIM cadres were collecting Money from Hindu Devotees. We few protested why Hindus will give money while CPIM supports Haaj...After few minutes, when crowds swell to 1000, CPIM cadres fled....HINDUS WILL HAVE TO STAND UP FOR THE CAUSE.]

Re: “e-Darshanam” : An insult to Lord Ayyappa & devotees This is too much! Are there no brave Hindus to slap on the face of the Devaswom Board President to shut his stupid mouth? Sacred Sabarimala Temple shouldn’t be opened for public any time other than Mandala/ Makaravilakku season. All restrictions of the pilgrimage are to be followed. Kerala Government is only interested in increasing the income from this "Kamadhenu" to fill the state budget gap. It is time to strengthen the Temple Liberation strike stronger than ever before.
