' Social Engineering, Social Reform and Protecting the Vedic Heritage'Dr. Vijaya RajivaThe recent move of the Congress led government of Kerala to hire 50 trained non Brahmanic temple priests has to be viewed with some caution. On the face of it the move can be lauded as social reform. But it can also be part of a social engineering process that aims to attack Hindu religious traditions in toto, moving in planned fashion from one target to the next. The Hindu Samaj must treat each of these moves on a case by case basis. Of the 50 candidates some candidates no doubt will be sincere and in earnest and some will be there for economic reasons (also acceptable since they are valid reasons) and at least a few will be stooges of the government and the Devaswom Board, which is largely staffed by anti Hindu individuals (often with misleading Hindu names!). In 2007 the Minister for Devaswom affairs was a member of the Communist Party (CPM). These newly hired priests will function under the directions of this self same government, now a Congress led one, but essentially also anti Hindu.A principled stand alone taken in favour of non Brahmanic priests can be counter productive and the Hindu Samaj should be alert to the politics of social engineering.
The Devaswom as a body that managed temple affairs came into existence as early as the 17th century in Kerala. There was a proliferation of them and it was only in the early 19th century under the Maharani Regent Gowri Parvati Bayi (1815-1829) that a royal decree was passed forming a Devaswom Board and most of the temples were brought under its control. This marked a shift from private groupings/families exercising control over the temples to that of state power vested in the royal family.
However, the last ruler His Highness Shri Chitira Thirunal Bala Rama Varma (1931-1949)was concerned that the Dewaswom Board should remain a Hindu organisation that would serve Hindu interests in the matter of temple administration and welfare. Therefore, in 1949 when he signed the instrument of Accession to the Indian Union he signed in a Covenant that would protect the Board from unneccessary interference from both state and central governments in independent India. The Board by this Covenant would remain with 3 members who were clearly Hindu and their term would be for 4 years. This was incorporated into The Travancore Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act of 1950 by which the state government would manage temple affairs via the Devaswom Board. Hence, both by law and convention the Board members would be sworn in as Hindus. Needless to say, the successive governments did not follow this rule except as a formality since Communist members could not actually be Hindus simultaneously given their ideology. And in the case of Congress governments the Hindu names often concealed allegiance to the 'secularism' of the Congress party, especially after the rise to power of the Italian Catholic, Sonia Gandhi at the centre in 1998. In 2007 emboldened by political events on the national scene, the secular LDF Kerala Government received permission from the Central government to change the composition of the Devaswom Board. The number 3 was changed to 5 incorporating a member from the scheduled caste/scheduled tribe (so called ) and a woman, ostensibly to promote social reform. There was a dual purpose here. Under the rubric of social change and in order to secure a vote bank from the Non Brahmanic groups the Kerala government tried to extend its already existing control over Hindu institutions.This control had previously been given to them by the misguided fathers of the Indian Constitution which was clearly discriminatory towards the Hindus, since the other religious groups (Muslims and Christians) were left untouched. The Kerala government's policy was to further extend control over the Hindu temples and one of the ploys was to throw the temples open to non Hindus and later the training of non Brahmans to become temple priests. In 2007 social groups like the NSS (Nair Service Society, not particularly known for any Hindutva leanings) objected. In regard to the first move it was defeated and in regards to the second move the so called reform went forward, even though in 2010 the NSS and other organisations (mainly Hindu) objected. Here again the anti Hindu government throws as much as it can against the Hindus with the hope that some of it will stick, even if some do not. Throwing open Hindu temples to non Hindus IS CLEARLY NOT THE SAME as opening the temples to all Hindus. The Temple Entry Proclamation by the Maharajah Chittira Thirunal in 1936 was the right way to go for Hindus. But here the situation is different. Churches and mosques are primarily places for the faithful to congregate and offer prayer, whereas the Hindu temple is where the consecrated deity resides, the consecration accompanied by deep Vedic ritual. It follows that non Hindus who do not accept this tradition cannot be given free entry to what is considered a hallowed place. The Hindu temple is not a park or tourist site or museum where the general public can freely wander about. It is a place of worship where the consecrated deity is housed. Those who ardently desire to enter can easily return to the Hindu fold by undergoing a shuddhi ceremony. The recent ones conducted by Agniveer are good examples of tasteful, short and meaningful ceremonies. Thereafter the individual accepts the sanctity of the Vedas and the presence of the consecrated deity housed in the temple. The present writer has raised an alarm in two previous articles and pointed out that the aim of the motley crew of deracinated Hindus, Macaulayites, Congresswallahs and the axis of Communists- Islamists - Churchists has always been to defeat Hinduism by various ploys.1&2This has been the ancient dream of the Christian West and is being touted by deracinated Hindus. It is understandable that someone like Arundhati Roy (a non Hindu) can hide behind the rubric of her questionable Leftism ( it is reported that she built a large luxury bungalow on notified tribal land !) to fulminate against the Brahmanic Hindu State. Like Monier Williams the identification of Hinduism with Brahmanism is a non starter. Neverthless, the Hindu Samaj should be extremely vigilant. The phrase ' the mighty fortress of Brahmanism' was first put forward by Monier Williams (author of Sanskrit English Dictionary, 1899). His exact quote is : " When the walls of the mighty fortress of Brahmanism are encircled, undermined and finally stormed by the soldiers of the cross, the victory of Christianity must be signal and complete " (Modern India and Indians, p.247).In his ignorance this colonialist had set up a straw man called Brahmanism. His Macaulayist followers and other elements have followed suit. It is Hinduism with its Vedic heritage that is their real target, the word 'Brahmanism' being only a catchy logo. This Vedic heritage is an ongoing project which all members of the Hindu Samaj have upheld, from the aam admi to the acharyas, gurus, temples, mathams etc. The Vedas set up a dedicated priesthood that would carry out the rituals of prayer and devotion to the terrestrial, atmospheric, and cosmic forces envisaged as gods and goddesses. It is the Hindu belief that these powers are present in the land, from north to south and east to west. Temples big, medium and small also housed these powers. The priests were responsible for carrying out the ritual worship of these powers. The Vedic rituals were carried out in the open, under the sky. With the building of temples in the post Vedic age the temple priests continued the Vedic worship in various parts of the subcontinent, preserving the INTEGRITY of the rituals. Hence, the Kerala temple priests are in this THANTRIC tradition. They are expected to follow certain well laid down rules and procedures for the rituals. They are initiated and trained by an authentic and qualified Acharya who has deep knowledge of the scriptures and familiarity with thantric worship which consists both of mantras and mudras. The Hindu belief is that the deity in the temple (already consecrated by deep ritual) is invoked during the ritual ceremonies.
It follows therefore, that the temple priest is expected to be a devout Hindu, with knowledge of scripture and tradition. With a non Hindu government it is doubtful whether the choice of candidates for the temple priesthood has been conducted rigorously and with transparency. If not, then the ignoble motive is clearly to make a dent in the hitherto undefeated traditions of Hindu worship. Preserving the Vedic heritage means upholding Hindu polytheism and murti worship, as opposed to the dogmas of the monotheistic faith, with their ONE god and the attendant persecution of non believers, and their history of violence and conquest.1.'

Dr John Dayal
@JohnDayal Akali politics over death sentence to Beant Killer would be
dead if a few Hindus had been hanged for burning alive 5,000 Sikhs in
"84.John Dayal is the ubiquitous obnoxious face in the idiot box when 24 hour English news channels want an anti-Hindu diatribe on their show. A friend sent me this queer tweet from this queer padri stating that he thinks Hindus should have been hanged for the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.Now I know this queer padri is only queer but not insane. I also know that he is a Christian padri and so the anti-Hindu venom and twisted history from a twisted Chrsitan mind is also normal - normal for Chrstians of all hues, denominations and small change.Let me de-construct the queer padri step by step.Johnny, your Jesus cult has begun to usurp Hindu religious, cultural symbols and practices to spread like Aids in this Hindu nation. You think Hindus should be hanged but let us see the Hindu symbols you have pirated -You call the Jesus cult One Book classes (we call them bible classes) Veda Agama Patashala. Vedas and Agamas are religious doctrines of the Hindus you want hanged.You call the Aids-like spreading Christian evangelisers 'sadhu'. There are several such queer padris in TN. Sadhus are Hindu religious persons - Hindus who you tweeted should be hanged.You have usuurped from the same Hindus who you want hanged, the robes of Hindu sanyasis. Queer Christian padris want to wear the same saffron robes as the Hindu acharyas and Gurus.Christian places of congregation now are erecting the Hindu dwajasthamba seen at Hindu temples - the religious symbol of Hindus who you think should be hanged but from whom you steal, pirate, usurp, illegally grabbed, cultural and religious symbols.Yiour fellow jesus cultists have shamelessly usurped from Hindus who you want hanged the Kavadi too. Queer Christians walk to churches bearing the Kavadi (Unless they are trying to metamorphose the cross into the Kavadi). You are all so queer I wouldnt be surprised by anything you all think and do.Dearie now your cultists want to dance Bharatanatyam (from Bharata Muni dearie) with the cross on the dais instead of Nataraja. To the best of my knowledge Jesus didnt dance Bharatanatyam, neither did his mother nor your popes and sundry "saints".John Dayal you want my Vedas, my agamas, my kavadi, my dwajasthamba, my bharatnatyam, my Vishnu Sahasranamam, My carnatic music, my acharyas and Gurus and then you want to hang me. And you have the bloody audacity to declare this publicly because Indian polity has given you the space to spaeak in the fashin.If Hindus were to do to you what you and your religion have done to others you would be -Given a small-pox infected blanket to sleep withYou would be given alcohol and drugs to ruin yourself.You would be actively encouraged to be a homosexual, as a fad, not as something that is sadly natural for some, but as a fad.You would be burnt at the stakes.You would be hunted down as you hunted other world leaders, have your teeth chected for plaque, your hair inspected for lice and then hanged in full public view by a kangaroo court.Your children would be separated from you at birth to be raised as good Hindus.John Dayal you are the best example of your co-cultists in India when you use the word Hindu only when you want to abuse us or hang us.John Dayal, this mail is being sent out to every Hindu I know and be prepared now to have your inbox flooded with mail. I have served you notice John. Your cultists are in overwhelming numbers in the Congress party. Hindus didnt kill Sikhs John. Your Party, the INC did. Now Johnny let us see if you have the courage to ask for Christian leaders in the Congress to be hanged.Johnny, before I forget - how many Chrsitinas do you think should be hanged for the Goa Inquisition?How many Christians should be hanged for religious converting at the point of the gun entire tribes and Hindus in India's North-East?How many Chrstians should be hanged for the genocide of Native Americans?How many Chrsitians should be hanged for destroying the African people, for giving them Aids, for annihilating african culture and dismembering their society?How many christians should be hanged for the genocide of Moros in the Philippines?How many christians should be hanged for taking away, stealing children from their parents in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and even Spain?How many Chrsitians should be hanged for sexullay molesting, raping children in churches, in childrens homes and in orphanages?Howe many christians should be hanged for making paedophile a universal tenet of the church?John Dayal, you stirred a hornets' nest. Be prepared to be stung.John Dayal, dont be tempted to speak to me about untouchability in self-defence. I will be compelled to give you chapter and verse on the churches, christian hospitals, educational institutions, your queer padris and what they have done (and refuse to do) for the untouchables in your fold.
