Finally the Thantri’s (Group of Hindu Priests) have decided not to let the “NON” Hindu’s enter the Guruvayur temple amidst the public outcry to have it opened for all the devotees regardless of their cast and religion. It seems Lord Krishna at Guruvayur is booked only for certain bunch of people. A GOD who has just got hi-jacked by humans!
It all started with the debate on whether Mr. Yasudas who’s songs are played almost 24/7 in almost all the church’s, mosk’s or temples. His voice can be let in but not the bodyJ. Sounds as silly as it can be. Being a Christian, if I ever feel like I should pray in front of Lord Krishna at Guruvayur, I would do that without any hesitation. I am sure Lord Krishna would be least concerned about it.
Having said so, it will not be justice if I do not write anything about the issues in my own religion. To begin with, let me take you to the situation in my own state – Kerala. There is a big tussle between the Left lead Govt and the professional collage managements about the low fee structure for the minorities etc… It is a SHAME that being Christians the managements which most of the time has many priests in their board of directors forget the difference between SERVICE and BUSINESS. Let it be a nursery schools or medical collages I find most of the time them silly and greedy as even a pirate would’ve shamed off. Sad but true, this makes the Christian Organisation one of the richest in world when thousand of people are not educated and thousands die out of hunger.
Did Jesus Christ take any fees for healing the poor or did he have charged his audience for listening to his teaching? I must be silly if I expect us to give all the services free as we are all human and we need money to survive. The problem is when money comes above ethics and if put money above your ethics, you are no more a Christian as this name itself means – The one who follow Christ. I pity those Bishops or Cardinals who drive on luxurious cars and have huge mansions to stay. I also suspect the motive behind the so-called missionary works happening in this country – especially in Northern states of India. Jesus has never asked the preachers to bring the people inside the frame of CHURCH – a man made organization. Rather he wanted humans to “love each other as they love themselves.” This was the Eden he promised – not a rich organization. Yet another God who has got hi-jacked by Humans!
Most of the religions are misinterpreted as decades pass by. People make rules and finally take others to a situation where they are not tolerant to other religions. Let it be the Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews the world is not a pleasant place anymore. The latest victims are my Muslim brothers and sisters. Let it be on burqua or let it be on Jihad, they are often misled. One may find this religion hard to “access” as most of its transcripts are in Arabic hence have to rely on some one’s interpretation on the same blindly. Most of the Muslims have always tried to live a distinct community compared to others. Let it be on what they eat or what they wear or their mannerisms they always looked different to me. Though one have the liberty to choose their own paths, unfortunately this difference in life style have worked against them off late. As the mannerisms gets famous, it also brings in unwanted attention. Jihad (the latest version) is definitely not the way to solve it. You can’t solve a mistake by another mistake. Nabi the prophet would’ve never talked about violence and so should be Khur – Ann. Another GOD hi-jacked by Humans!
My intention is not to hurt anyone here but if it annoys anyone … can’t help. May be its high time you sit back and think!. Don’t let your emotion rule over your mind.
