Man and Gods discriminating against human beings, especially Yesudas who is a living legend when it comes to temple songs. Sad. :(<br /><br />@ Pal, Thanks for the comment. Yes, at 70yrs how many more years must Yesudas wait? :(<br /><br />@ Sachin, truly. Its 'man' who pushes us all away from God. <br /><br />@ Solilo, this is my take. All places of worship must be open to all believers. If all Gods are same then why this discrimination. <br /><br />@ Mirage, Thanks for the response.

Look at Sabarimala and its rigid rules. There was a reason why women were not allowed ages ago but times have changed and some things never.

'One bold voice could make a difference' I feel....but who? Guruvayoorappan Himself ? I'll pray to Guruvayoorappan to grant Yesudas a chance of fulfilling his wish soon in his life .<br /><br />After all, the temple should be FOR the devotees and the government should be FOR the people.<br /><br />mirage:))miragenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-29072822674292384492010-03-26T17:06:37.856+00:002010-03-26T17:06:37.856+00:00@ IHM, it's his greatest wish that he gets a c...@ IHM, it's his greatest wish that he gets a chance to see the one God whom he believes blessed him with that pristine voice.

That's what I feel about all this...<br /><br /><br />@ Akhila, sorry to hear about your ordeal.

(the priests don't seem to think it's God.) <br /><br />But I also wonder why this need to go to any temple to worship a god one loves. God is everywhere. I avoid visiting temples where they have such rigid rules. All Yesudas needs to do is shut his eyes like Meera Bai and he will feel the presence wherever he is. Basically then he will let God be the boss again.Indian Homemakerhttp://indianhomemaker.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-12280431171399712232010-03-24T01:54:22.420+00:002010-03-24T01:54:22.420+00:00A very valid question that you have asked Scorpio....A very valid question that you have asked Scorpio.. <br /><br />and I think in every religion, when one becomes very religious, it may also make you feel exclusive and wanting to remain so and moreover if you dont remain so, then wouldnt there be lesser use of the those who are guarding them..aka the religious leaders (priests, pujaris, etc etc)<br /> neither the Hindus, the Christians nor the Muslims have proved otherwise...and this remains the bane of religion and continues to create strife amongst it's followers...<br /><br />but then as Dreamer pointed out, we are not living in an ideal world :)Happy_Kittennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-83382780420285277852010-03-14T22:14:35.861+00:002010-03-14T22:14:35.861+00:00lets consider the three main religions in kerala a...lets consider the three main religions in kerala and how they might react to this issue of yesudas.<br />christians:well he has his name saying christ's disciple, but why does he want to enter a hindu temple. lord krishna is just a stone idol and we dont do idol worship.<br />hindus:no, never. we would never let a christian enter this great temple and make everything "asudham", (especially if he is popular among people)<br />muslims:let the hindus and christians fight for that noble cause. spare us...<br /><br />regarding atheism,i recently learned that communists are meant to be atheists. is that true? so religion and politics are so much intertwined that one cannot be separated from another.we have political party for all religions. but we dont have a party for the people...<br />changes are inevitable for the growth of a nation. there is no point in clinging to the old social reforms ,coz that was meant for that particular society.let go...lets make things easy...<br /> other than some people's personal interest , the whole issue is pointless. i have seen christians entering the same temple before too, but none of them was KJ Yesudas...I thought it just add to the power and praise of the deity when people from other religions come to worship .well that was how i have read and understood from aitheehyamaala.<br />religion and politics are not my area of interest.no political party own me, nor do any religious committies.<br />(i was not issued a marriage certificate because i married a hindu.i needed approval from the church and the temple where we tied the knots, for the govt to let us stay as married couples in india.)ugly fate. poor me,we flew to usa and got a court marriage registered within 1/2 an hour. that is the difference.agnosianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-41643346553736557282010-03-13T15:18:44.944+00:002010-03-13T15:18:44.944+00:00@ Nona, God forbid, that won't happen.

Will he ever get a chance to go inside the temple? <br /><br />Shouldn't it be simple? There are so many workaround when we match horoscopes. "Perform a pooja to ward away this and go on a pilgrimage to ward away that". Then why can't anyone find a workaround other than sneaking him inside the temple?
