An appeal against the proposed decision on Vivekananda Illam reg.

may 2nd, 2008

Dear Sir,     
     It is extremely appalling to know that the State Government of Tamil Nadu aims at replacing the present exhibition of Vivekananda Illam. Vivekananda Illam, which stands now near the Marina beach, Chennai, stands as an important monument that reflects Indian culture and heritage and the inspiring life of its chief exponent in the modern times, Swami Vivekananda.
     The decision on this replacement of Vivekananda Illam, would be to the distaste of a large section of India especially, the youth of India and admirers and followers of Swami Vivekananda.
      As a citizen of India, this matter is of grave concern to us and I urge you and Rediff.com to support and assist Sri Ramakrishna Math in continuing the Good work of Exhibition in Vivekananda Illam, by throwing more light on the issue and supporting the cause. I would like to reiterate that the centre representing Tamil culture is always welcomed by everyone of us, but NOT at the cost of the existing monument, which represents our national pride and culture.
Thank you

Yours sincerely,
Vamsi
