Red assault on Kerala's Hindu temples

"Hindu temples for Hindus"
RED ASSAULT ON KERALA'S HINDU TEMPLES

WAKE UP, O HINDU, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
HINDUS in Kerala and all over the world are today struggling as never before to keep their Dharma alive. Which religion in the world except Hindu Dharma calls upon their followers to pray "Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu" ("May all creatures in the world be happy")? Hindu faith is the sum total of rituals, traditions and good thoughts.
While all Semitic religions are failing, Hindu culture is growing well even in former communist countries. Churches in Europe, America and Russia are being turned into Hindu temples while the Hindu way of thinking has entered even the forts of Semitic religions. But there have always been people who have tried to destroy the Hindu Dharma. How many pitiable stories are there of religious conversion of Hindus at the point of a sword, destruction of Hindu idols, looting and conversion of temples into mosques and churches! That Hindu culture has survived despite such assaults, and it is its greatness. Hindu temples are focal points of this culture that gave birth to so many great sages. The Hindu's concept of God begins in temple rituals and traditions. The Hindu satisfies his/her soul by seeing his/her own divinity in the idols in the temples. Temples have also been symbols of Hindu culture for ages. It was Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya who laid down the rules for temple rituals. Strict temple rituals in Kerala have created powerful deities. That is why Kerala is known as Gods Own Country. It is in Hindu temples of Kerala alone that the world's most powerful rituals for Pooja are still practiced. Temples and rituals related to temples were the bedrocks of our culture until recently. Local people took care of the temples even before the start of rule by kings. Even the king considered himself a servant of the deity of the temple. To help the temples meet their costs, the kings gave away acres of land to the temples and declared their incomes from these lands tax-free. During those days, the aristocrats strived for the welfare of the temples. Hindu culture woke up every day within the walls of the temples. After the state of Kerala was created, Devasom Boards were created to help run the affairs of isolated temples smoothly. A governing body which included Mannathu Padmanabhan and R. Shankar took over the reins. Hindu society thought that this would help organize the temples of Kerala, particularly those of Travancore, along sound lines. However, most of the tenants of temple lands were non-Hindus. The temples lost all these lands as a result of the so-called land reforms inflicted by EMS and the cunning moves of P.T.Chacko. The once wealthy temples were reduced to penury almost overnight.
This created the circumstances which helped the government to assert its authority over the temples since it had become almost impossible to meet the day-to-day needs of the temples without government help. What began to crumble were not just the temple but also the faith of the Hindus. What stood in the way of the spread of communism was Hindu spirituality. By impoverishing the temples, the evil intentions of EMS succeeded! Every succeeding government in Kerala worked to weaken Hindu culture. Customs gradually died out and many temple arts became extinct. This strengthened communist thinking. Malabar, where many temples had been destroyed earlier by Islamic invader Tipu, became a fertile breeding ground for communism. If the temples of Travancore and Kochi can also be destroyed, the Hindu's interest in temple rituals will decrease and this can speed up the growth of communism. This is the secret aim of the present anti-God political leadership of Kerala. The temples once belonged either to families or local Hindu communities. They were never built or run with income from tax on the whole Kerala society which includes non-Hindus. "Temples belong to Hindus alone". The temples are the blood, sweat and traditions of the Hindus. It is right of people who believe in Hinduism to keep temple customs and traditions alive. Atheistic Communists need not worry about keeping Hindu traditions alive. That has to be decided by believing Hindus alone. The temple ordinance that the Kerala government has brought, should be thrown into the Arabian Sea. It is not for a government deeply hostile to Hinduism, that includes non-Hindus, to decide on Hindu customs. How many ministers are there in the present government who took their oath of office in the name of God? Is it not true that even the Devaswom minister is an atheist? What can such an atheist do to save the religion and temples of the Hindus? Is it not true that the entry of politicians into temple managements created the circumstances for massive corruption? Is there any field where politicians have not been corrupt? Realizing God was the ultimate aim of temple managements before the entry of politicians. Every Hindu must get ready to oppose this temple ordinance. It must be resisted. The Hindu should never allow this black law to be imposed on his society. This ordinance must be resisted even at the cost of one's life.
The management of Hindu temples should be the right and the duty of Hindus alone. "Hindu temples for Hindus" should be our slogan. Let the responsibility of management of Kerala's temples go to the revered Sannyasis. Kerala must have a panel of Sannyasis on the model of Tirupati or Sivagiri. That panel should select five or seven members as leaders to manage the temples. A true Hindu spiritual leadership can be created if a judge appointed by the Supreme Court selects the panel from all the Swamis of all the ashrams in Kerala. This panel should have all the authority and responsibility to protect and administer all the temples and to provide spiritual leadership to the Hindu society of Kerala. The name "Devasom Board" itself must change since it has come to mean a business enterprise. It must be renamed as the Kerala Temple Management Committee (Kerala Kshetra Bharana Samithi). This committee should control the financial matters of the temples. The money donated by Hindu devotees is their offering to God and cannot be deposited in the government's treasury to provide subsidy and tents for Haj travelers to Mecca. The money donated by Hindu pilgrims to Sabarimala cannot be allowed to be used to pay salaries of Kerala government servants. This is not tax that rightly belongs to government, rather it is the devotee's own offering to God (Kanikka). This money should be used only for the smooth running of temples. If needed, more money can be found in the general budget. The government's treasury must provide the temple with needed funds just as they provide subsidy for Haj travelers around 300 Crores every year. Hindus rightly fear that the new ordinance brought by the Kerala government will deny them their right to manage their temples. If the ordinance becomes a law, government nominee will have the right to control any temple ritual or custom. Kerala's Hindu society justifiably fears that, as happened in Bengal, the government will try to destroy temple rituals through its representative on the temple management Committee (Kerala Kshetra Bharana Samithi). Even the study of temple arts, study of the Bhagavad Gita and other spiritual activities may come to be controlled by the government. The spiritual committee consisting of Sannyasis must therefore have the full responsibility for administering Hindu temples. It was the so-called minority communities who stole the ancestral land of Kerala's temples. As compensation, the government budget should make a provision for financial help to the temples. The development of Sabarimala and facilities for devotees much be taken up urgently. Any development there must be with the knowledge and sanction of the committee consisting of Sannyasis. This committee must be completely free of politicians. The Devaswom minister himself has admitted that corruption is the objective of the politicians, whether belonging to the left, right or centre. The temple committee must also be free of influence of community leaders as many of whom treat Hindu shrines like Sabarimala as a milky cow. Many of these leaders have looted crores of rupees from the devotees of Lord Ayyappan. Some of them are even willing to accept the temple ordinance. Not only they have no devotion to Sabarimala, even daily poojas are not conducted in the many temples controlled by these community leaders. These leaders, who have lost the faith of the community, are betraying an entire community for a little cash for themselves. The CBI must inquire into corruption in Sabarimala during the past 30 years. Wake up, O Hindu! The houses of our faith and spirituality are in danger. If the present trend continues, the next generation will see temples as museums. We will forever lose the temples that showered light and grace on us for ages.
The ordinance was implemented in a manner never ever heard before. No Hindu has protested the extreme haste with which this dangerous new ordinance was brought in. No decision in such a matter should have been taken without consulting our revered saints and Sannyasis. The present ordinance is a conspiracy to implement the agenda of the atheists. Since no minister in the present has taken his oath of office in the name of God, they have no moral right to take a decision in religious matters. Are they planning to hold PSC exams for Devaswom jobs with the aim of providing jobs for their slogan-shouting atheistic followers who even insult the judiciary? A temple employee must be knowledgeable about religious customs and rituals. Devotees should not allow temples to become business centers. The Kerala Temple Management Committee must be the only agency for administration, appointments and all matters related to temples. No appointment should be allowed on the basis of chits from the party office. Kerala's Hindu culture has been greatly damaged by its spiritual leaders staying away from the cultural and social scene. Sannyasis must at least now descend from their ashrams to the midst of common people. Will spirituality survive after all the temples of Kerala have been destroyed? Leaders of other religions are active in the social, cultural, spiritual fields of their respective communities and often intervene to ensure gains for their community. Are Hindu Sannyasis alone forbidden from doing the same? It is time for spiritual leaders, Acharayas, Swamijis and Madathipathis to come out in the open and inspire and guide Hindus to preserve, protect and promote Hindu Temples, rituals, traditions, and festivals. Spiritual practices and dissemination of valuable, informative and spiritually uplifting Vedic literature without preserving our Temples would be difficult. Hindu destiny is at stake. It is time for Saints and laymen to make a choice to fight against the Marxist take over of our Temples. Organisations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Kshetra Samrakshana Samiti, SNDP Yogam, Samastha Kerala Nayar Samajam and All Hindu organizations from abroad should take up the matter urgently. We must also urgently appeal to the President of India, the Supreme Court Chief Justice and the Kerala Governor to help defeat this black law. We must act not only to inform the Hindu about this black law but to make him/her angry, indeed incensed, about it. We must get the message across to every Keralite Hindu by all means including phone, e-mail, fax, SMS. We must also inform all Hindu leaders and ashrams to urgently wake them up to the danger all of us are facing.

Similarly all muslim kings/rulers converted Hindus to muslims by force or by offereing them jobs/promotions.So since people of all religions origin was Hinduism, it will be good for all of us if we open our temples to all religions and explain them what is Hinduism and start bringing them back to Hinduism.We are working in this missionhttps://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/ornet/2006-April/011084.htmlAnd we need your support.

Re: "Hindu temples for Hindus" We have to have study classes all over the state to educate our workers as to exactly what the government takeover means, why they did it, its implications, the alternative and what we have to do to get our temples back. Then, we have to form "information squads" of people so educated and have them go to temples near their homes and interact with the temple-goers so that the temple goers know exactly what the issue is. After this is done over a period time systematically thoroughly and in an organised manner, there will be a surge of the population in answer to our call to liberate the temples. May I, as an individual blogger, also ask Haindava Keralam to publish all facts and data of the issue so that bloggers like me in turn can propagate our point of view correctly.

On the Muslim question

On the Muslim Question3/1/2007 5:36:31 PM
Dr. TS. Girishkumar

I had been interacting with the Muslims in a most strange manner, and looking at their feelings, expressions and so on. Prima facie, things are far more complicated and elusive than one might think at first is the impression it all gave me on a final analysis. This interaction was through the inter net, and this made me converse with people from all corners, and rather all kinds of Muslims. Ultimately, it all leaves me with the feeling that some things is not just right with them, at least those who were airing out their views, and this, they are never going to understand, and understand if they, then there would have been no Muslim problems at all.

Khizer Hyatt Mallik of Pakistan is only fond of abusing Hindus. He speaks abusive literature on Hindus, and Hindu practices. Minhas of Pakistan is different, trying to say that just because he is a Muslim, he is different from other Indians. Shaik Hyder of Pakistan is a kind of expert; he finds all kinds of anti Hindu writings and keeps posting them.

Then comes Indians, and perhaps all of them are Keralites. I could not come across Indians from other parts of this country; all Muslim and Christian writers are from Kerala. Kutty O Hamza is a person who is still left with some reason. Regi P George is a person who wants India to melt in the ocean like what Shakespeare says; let Rome in Tiber melt! There is another person, Liyaret Sunil; also from Kerala, with this strange name, who speaks just like a Pakistani or Taliban.

All arguments they put forward can be summed up in the following manner. Hinduism is only Brahmanism, which is the domination of the Brahmin caste. RSS is an instrument for maintaining the Brahmin domination over the Indian land scape. There is Devadasi practice in Hinduism, and Hinduism supports this. This lets prostitution permissible in the Hindu religion. There is this horrible caste distinction within the Hindu society, and RSS wants to maintain caste discrimination. The Hindus burn their brides should they fail to bring dowry. The Hindus burn their brides along with a dead husband. Further they say that the Hindus worship monkeys, snakes and the Linga.

Just these and nothing more. For them, there is only one true God, and all others are false. Every one ought to follow this one true God, and Islam. All others are very unfortunate since they could not become Muslims till now. Pakistan had always been right and India wrong. There are more and more to this, but they are all details, these are just points to ponder over the Muslim mind.

The Ali brothers, Mohammad and Shoukat Ali were so clear about what a Muslim ought to be in Indian context; and it is to none other than the Gandhi they told that: “Primarily we are Muslims and then Only Indians”. Their priorities are to Islam, and then if something is left, to Hindustan. Gandhiji must have swallowed these words, as he was later found refusing to attend a round table conference for more autonomy with the Khilafat in the swing, since the British did not release Ali brothers from the Jail. Finally, these Muslims kicked Gandhi ji below the very belt, by shifting loyalties to the British.

They all spoke the Hindustani language. But the Muslims wanted it to be written using Persian Script and give it the name Urdu. They refused to write their mother tongue in Devanagari script, which is Vedic and Indian. They can take a script which has nothing to do with their ancestors, but they had agitated against Devanagari script. They wanted the language to be called Urdu, instead of calling it Hindi.

Now they keep spreading hatred and curse upon the Hindus and India. As a matter of fact, these lots are immensely frustrated and goal less. They do not want to acknowledge their follies, and short comings, and venture out to debate and as they become unable to debate, they abuse. They are abetted by some Indians like Liyarat Sunil in their spurious attack on RSS, Hindutva etc. they are unable to withstand the fact that just a handful of Hebrews are teaching all the Arabs the much wanted lessons. When they were put to this question: ‘If the Muslims were in the position of the Jews, then can you imagine what would have happened to the world?’ no one except Shaik Hyder tried to answer. He tried to wriggle out saying that the Jews are smarter, educated and gets aids and so on.

I must sum up it all in this manner. Such Muslims with the Jihadi and fanatic bent of mind are irredeemable, and there is absolutely no point in trying to reason with them. There are other Muslims of course, but they are not at all in the lime light. These people can only be dealt with a firm hand.

Re: On the Muslim Question K.Venugopal 3/3/2007 7:30:27 AM Dear Dr. Girishkumar,Your attempts to understand the Muslim mind is worthwhile and your report makes fascinating reading. I note the following points as it comes to my mind:1. Islam is a dogmatic religion (that is, what is written in the Quran has to be followed letter perfect), whereas Hinduism is a philosophical religion (that is, the letters in its scriptures are only a guidance to the larger spirit of its teachings). 2. In Islam, the Creator and creation are separate and irreconcilable entities and the relationship is as between King and subject or Master and slave. In Hinduism, the Creator and creation are understood to be eventually the same and therefore the relationship between Creator and creation is as between, say, the Ocean and its waves or as Lover and beloved in bhakti.3. Islam has survived this far only because it has always been a State religion or a religion protected and supported by the State. Questioning Islam is taboo and over the generations, the very idea of questioning Islam has become an offence to the Muslims. Hinduism has survived through the power of the Gurus and their accessibility to the masses. Questioning is the very basis of teaching Hinduism. 4. The internet is the first medium in history that has the power to question Islam and get away with it. These questionings of Islam, from the marriage of Mohammad to minor Ayesha to errors in the Quran, are slowly bringing Islam to a level playing field.5. Islam (and Christianity) with its “My God the only true God” position, is extremely vulnerable when contrasted with the Hindu teaching of “Truth is one and the wise express it variously.”6. Hindu culture with its vision of Advaita has been eminently successful in amalgamating and keeping distinct at the same time various forms of expressions of the divine and therefore we have had the religions of Veda, Vedanta, Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti, Buddha, Jain, Sikh, Sai etc. living in great harmony in India. In Islam the Sunni-Shia animosity occurred within 50 years of its founding and till today they have not been able to find a solution to their rift in spite of following one scripture and prophet and God. This is because of their dogmatic approach to the Quran.7. Islam has political ambitions and Islam cannot be practiced completely unless it has a State to implement its constitution, that is, the Sharia. Therefore secularism, where the State is not an instrument of religion, is not acceptable to Islam. The goal of Hinduism is moksha or individual liberation and it has no need for the State.8. After the partition of India, the Muslims are now trying to get themselves outside the purview of the Indian constitution, as witnessed by the passage of the Shariat law by the J&K assembly. This move must be questioned.9. Hindus have arisen, but are not awake yet. We have to awake and prove it by getting rid of the spectre of terrorism inspired by Islam that is threatening India.

What directions for Amrita TV news division?

WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION?

Imagine a Television station reporting that peace loving Hindus celebrating cultural festivals are in a communal frenzy! Now imagine that the same TV reporting Islamic terrorists gathered to galvanize communalists as peaceful religious gathering! Finally, imagine that after all these hostile reporting against the majority community, the TV station has escalated venomous attack against Hindu organizational leaders. Unfortunately, you don’t have to imagine any of these things because they actually happened at Amrita TV News Division. Even worse, these are hardly isolated incidents. Simply put, news reporting practices of Amrita TV is in need of solid management, credibility, commitment and community accountability. The sad news is that Amrita TV News Division is fully under the control of hardcore, anti-Hindu card holding Marxists. They are committed Marxist agents hiding behind the News Division to inject anti Hindu venom in the minds of TV viewers.
Many of the problems with Amrita TV’s News Division stem from a dramatic infiltration of Marxist Journalists and pseudo secular Jihadi supporters. Since 2005 anti Hindu reporting and politically motivated rhetoric has escalated. The myopic leftwing TV journalists create an artificial and jaundiced perspective on Hindu organizations and cultural activities. They are unable or unwilling to expose the real terrorists or anti national elements roaming all over Kerala. There are several Jihadi organizations and Missionary groups in Kerala, which mislabel and show false secular representations to hide their pervasive pretext. Amrita TV News Division seldom looks into their operations, financing, activities and conduct. Amrita TV’s deliberate and malicious reports to tarnish the reputation of Hindu intellectuals and its leaders is provocative. Drawing heavily on our own and majority of TV viewers experience, we have identified several instances where Amrita TV news division displayed their insensitivity, prejudice and blatant disregard of journalistic ethics. As evidence by the news reports of Amrita TV, the following instances are cited to show Amrita TV News Division’s lack of sensitivity, performance accountability, fair and balanced reporting.
Few months back Amrita TV program titled “Nadakame Ulakam” indirectly ridiculed Parameswarji (He was awarded “AMRITAKEERTHI PURASKARAM” by Mata Amritanandamai Devi) when he was giving lemon juice to RSS senior leader Valsan Thillenkeri while ending his fasting.
Amrita TV news division denigrated the nationalist Valsan Thillenkari by comparing him to the notorious Bihar criminal Pappu Yadav who is now locked up in prison.
The hardcore Islamic terrorist Abdul Nazer Madani and his supporting members of the terrorist organization NDF, its mouthpiece Thejas and their terrorist activities are projected as cultural expression.
RSS, Hindu Ayika Vedi and Hindu cultural activities are projected as communal disturbances by Amrita New & current affairs division.
Few months back Amma made a visit to RSS Head Quarter in Nagpur during the centenary celebration of Guruji. Amrita TV deliberately downplayed the news and warned to Amrita TV reporter who sent the news to the television station.
Amrita TV has completely blacked out the Guruji Centenary celebrations conducted all over Kerala and the Hindu Maha Sammelan at Thiruananthapuram where thousands of people attended.
Amrita TV showed its arrogance when it failed to properly telecast the Samadhi of Swamiji Sathyananda Saraswathi of Sri Ramadasa Matt. But the same channel broadcasted with live coverage of the funeral ceremony of Malankara Arch Bishop!.
The majority community is at a loss to understand how Amrita TV blacked out the recently concluded Cherkolpuzha Hindu Maha Sammelanan.
Amrita TV was the only television channel in Kerala which openly demanded on the eve of the state assembly elections that hardcore Islamic terrorist Madani who is currently detained at Coimbatore jail should be released.
As per one of the Amrita current affairs program ‘Nadakame Ulakam’, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is a Hindu fascist and senior Hindu organization leaders in Kerala P. Parameswarji, Kummanam Rajasekharan, J. Sisupalan etc.. are also Hindu fascists!.
It is invariably noticed Amrita News comparing an 80 year old nation’s biggest cultural organization RSS with a Kerala based deadly terrorist organization NDF. As per Amrita News division RSS-NDF is one coin of two sides.
Since its inception Amrita News failed to report a single story about serious issues like forcible conversion, Islamic terrorist activities, Criminal activities by Marxists, Illegal cow killing across the state, government involvement over Hindu temples and institutions etc.
What is real truth behind projecting Islamic terrorist organizations and Missionary sabotage activities as service to the nation? Evidence suggests that Amrita TV news Division is in complete control of the Marxists. These hidden agents of the Marxist party move around in a greater variety of ways to sabotage spiritual services of the Matt and Hindu organizations in Kerala. Amrita TV news division reflects the planning acumen, strategic techniques and sophistication of the Marxist party.
Amrita TV is under the control of the Mata Amritanandamaidevi Matt. The news division Chief Neelan is a card holding member of the Marxist party (CPM). The Chief Operating Officer (Marketing) Suresh Narayanan is another CPM man. The technical in charge of the Channel SMC Pillai is a close confident of the Marxist Party General Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, an ardent anti Hindu. Apart from these, more than 80% of staffs selected for Amrita News & Current affairs division are identified as CPI(M) background journalists.
It is important that management leaders responsible for Amrita TV News Division respond to the urgent problem of unbalance, hostile and negative reporting on Hindus. It is equally important that they establish a supervisory management system to adopt a fair and balanced news reporting policies. Despite much progress over the past several years, there remains a web of Marxist agents that promotes anti-Hindu rhetoric and hostile propaganda against Hindu organizations.
Stale, inflexible, pseudo secular, anti-Hindu culture exists within the News Division of Amrita TV. The management must impose additional conditions to overcome these programming prejudices. A closer look at Amrita TV’s News reporting suggests that an entirely new team, a new approach, using fair and balanced reporting by fair-minded professionals is needed.
Amrita TV management must understand these challenges and recognize the stakes and find a solution to end the erosion of fairness and bias by enlisting guidance from some of the nation’s top nationalist and cultural leaders as well as professionals. Amrita TV must consult with Hindu organizations and community leaders to lay out a road map for improving the News Division performance.
As supporters of Amrita institutions, social services and the TV, we are not interested in assigning blame for the news division’s short coming to spiritual leaders of the Matam. Instead Amrita TV executives must pledge to roll up their sleeves to build realistic solutions to the ongoing prejudices of the news division Marxists. We are requesting Amrita TV executives to better utilize their resources to hire, recruit, and train fair-minded professional TV reporters and news anchorman. We support Amrita institutions, its peace mission, inspiring spiritual services and cultural goals.
We hope Amrita TV quickly reach a consensus about what some of the common characteristics of the solutions should be. They would look into the ideological affiliation of the news division staff, identify and address their hostility towards Hindus, Hindu cultural leaders and implement successful, all inclusive, innovative and fair, ethical news gathering and reporting systems to project the idealism and aspirations of the majority of Amrita TV viewers.Posted on 2/25/2007 by HK Correspondant

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Haindava Keralam has shown the way by having a site that is enthusiastically and vibrantly Hindutva minded. We must go ahead and have a Hindutva minded TV channel, eventually in all Indian languages and English. Such a network of TV channels is a must even from RSS organisational point of view. A brilliant strategist like Kummanam Rajashekaran should be assigned by Sangha to bring this project to fruition.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? The comments by various readers are interesting!. What is going on this channel is quite shocking. Did anybody noticed one of their current affairs program, they said those who assembled at Putharikandam Maidan to hear Narendra Modi’s speech were given Rs 300 each and a food parcel. The biggest joke is Swami Sivamrita Chaithanya, head of Thiruvananthapuram Amritanandami Asharam was also attended that function. As per this statement by the Amrita TV, Swami Sivamrita was also came there to collect Rs. 300/- plus a food parcel.!! Most surprisingly those made this allegation is still existing in this channel. If it continues, they would not even hesitate to criticize Mata Amritanandamai Devi in the coming days. Its better to close down this channel than continue like this.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Sir,Simply making an apology is not enough. The commies team of Amrita News division headed by Neelan & Santhosh must leave this channel. No compromise. I hope the Amrita viewers noticed the explanation they gave while making apology. They said in the ancient days also similar types of jokes / laughing out against individuals were happened including against the King. What a foolish explanation!!!!. Here the issue is they used to criticize / laugh out only against Hindu organization or its leaders to implement their hidden agenda as directed by the AKG Center. I challenge these Neelan & team let them laugh out Pope Benedict, Mohammed Nabi, St. Thomas or at least the Panakkad Shihab Ali Thangal and see the consequences. Manoj

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I am a devotee of our most beloved Amma . It is sometimes ridiculous and painful to see the scenes in Amrita TV. We have become doubtful whether it is totally under the control of the Math or mostly under the control of the CPM pseudo-secularists. It looks as is the CPM men have allowed the TV company to show some spiritual contents also. More than the CPM tricks the channel seems to be projecting too much of anti-hindu sentiments. Amma's good devotees and like minded average hindus who are regarding Amma as an epitme and everything of the Hindu causes won't tolerate this. Remember She was once honoured the Hindu of the year and was the chairperson of a world hindu summit. We hope that only Amma and no one else can resurrect the lost hindu values in this world. As an example in a recent edition of AMMOYODOPPAM which we all relish to see again and again, her Kodungalloor programme was shown, there was an " unnecessary " description for more than three minutes on the Chermanperumal Mosque. What is the relevance of uttering the false historical facts like Perumal a muslim king was originally a hindu etc. The narration of the history of the palces and the false messages on facts is of no interest to the viewers if Amrita TV. Rather they would like to see more of Amma's visuals. I think Manoj Manayil should take care of this. It is better not to talk about the totally procommunist, anti- hindu news of the TV. There will be no end if we go to details and examples. Why should the TV compromise too much an dappease the minorities like these ? Is it not pseudosecularism ? We hindus expect more better treatment from TV. Manoj Manayil acts like a hindu scholar but giving wrong inputs to viewers in programme like Pradakshinam and Sandhyadeepam.

One Svamiji from Amrita matt was also present on the stage and the channel said it was a function of communalists!!!(3) About being called fascist - people have now started openly questioning the usage of this much-abused word against Hindus.(Eg:- http://marumozhy.blogspot.com/2007/02/blog-post.html- A malayalam blog)(4) Another word is getting popularised now.KOOSISMThe people like the marxists and muslim terrorists who call themselves as secularists and act as communalists, are called KOOSISTS.An interesting malayalam blog explains thishttp://koosism-exposed.blogspot.com

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? As a Hindu, I follow this website which is updated regularly and I thank you everybody for their effort.The newsitem related with Amrita TV shows importance of news/media in today's world, and how desperate Marxists have become to control the mind of people.I think the only way to confront this is to build an alternate medium where real news can be dissimated. These are cheap ways, and Hindus cannot be stopped by these tactics for long.Its just a matter of time that Communists will be history even from Kerala and West Bengal.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Many elderly people watch Amritha News and believe it as Holy Truth. Many people watch sandhyadeepam which spreads lots of mis-information. Most of the stories in "Sandyadeepam" are childish and against the basic tenants of "Sanathana Dharma".Amritha TV is more of a curse to Hindus than a boon. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to start our own channel. Amritha TV's programs are also not upto any standards of the organisation said to be running it. Comapre it with Shalom and Jeevan TV!We may approach Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for a true Malayalam Hindu Channel.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I've read most of the comments and I join with them in condemning the attitude of News Division.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? It is the result of strategic infilteration of media rowdies in the media and pursuing their version of journalistic culture to malign whatever is dear to the hindus of this country and especially in Kerala.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? This intrusion of Anti Hindu forces in the News Channel is actually an intelligent and long lasting corruption issuse, with far reaching effects.Its the duty of every Hindu to make sure that Amma is aware of these facts.
Sandeep 2/20/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Yesterday while watching Sandhyadeepam programme on Amrita TV, I noticed another shocking thing. The anchor was describing Kaliyamardana and atlast she said Bhagvan killed Kalya. I immediatly called Amrita TV and I got mobile number of producer Mr. Manoj. I expressed my protest on his great mistake. He too agreed that Kaliya was not killed by Krishna bhagvan, but Bhagvan let kaliya to escape to Ramanka island. Mr. Manoj said he will clear the mistake on next episode. I further expressed my anger over Parmeswarji issue. Mr. Manoj was also against Amrita news devision. He said when the issue was happend Amma and other swamies were in Tamilnadu. When Amma got the news, she immediatly called Neelan to Ashram and warned him. Neelan was sharply critisised by other swamies. Most of the Amrita team members hate Neelan and news devision.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Please donot compare Amrita with amrita TV..Amritia TV is Businees venture,the partners and propriters will try to promote and accunilate audiance to the maximum, for which they will play any faul game.Let us Hope ,Amrita TV will match with Amrita soon.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Please send a mass memorandum to the matt, may or may not they changed / ignored, even like before, SNDP, whose leaders before said we are not Hindus, thru the letter they might have changed a bit. Also teach our children journalism or legaal matters, history as well. and make protect thru' attacking mentality by word to word.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear all,This is the main problem which we are facing from the past long years.But this is also good becouse some people like us, now n atlast started work against these type of activities.The main thing which we want to understand that these type of people are using our cultural names.For eg.The Hindu News paper, now Amrita etc. And this is very dangerous that a reputed hindu channel which is introduced by our amma, is publishing these type of news.Now our brothers are using anti-hindu news and posters for getting more attention in their business,eg.in a hindu shope u can see a Chris or makka picture. They are thinking that they will get a good name in the community ,if they did like this. What a dangerous problem which are creating our own brothers to Our oun Mother-Hindu.So we can start...for us.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear Kalidasji,I respect your devotion to positive reinforcement and your belief in the ultimate victory of character. So kindly take my response as that of one who is ‘Rajasik’ as opposed to Satvik.Speaking of PP Doctorji, has not Doctorji emphasized on the need for robust Hindu strength to protect the Hindu Samaj ? When Parampujya Guruji was addressing a sankhik at Trivandrum and the Marxists tried to attack that meeting, we had swayamsevaks defending the meeting with the ‘danda’ in his presence. Some battles cannot be avoided. So too in the realm of the media.I believe that Mata Amrithanandamayi is the best thing that has happened to the Hindus of Kerala after the Sangh. Those who seek to weaken us may try to drive a wedge between Mata and us. This has to be avoided. Yet, in Kerala we face ‘Thridosha’ – Communism , Islam and Christianity combined. The Hindu majority here itself is tenuous. The reality of Kerala has imposed upon the Hindu forces the need for entirely different strategies and attitudes.And so…when we speak of ‘the path of stones and thorns’ in Kerala this path involves the judicious use of strength, persistence, and patience. Even when our head is at the level of the clouds, guided by noble thoughts and intentions, our feet should be firmly on the ground. I feel a healthy blend of Yin and Yang is called for.-Gireesh
KALIDAS,Mumbai 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear Brothers & Sisters,Though I can understand & I also respect the emotional outburst of all the readers who expressed their opinion, we should not forget the fact that the task before is to infuse SANGH VICHARDHARA [ Sangh ideology ] in to ALL , not by coercive force but by OUR SUSHEELA [ sweetness of our character ].Patience, Perseverance, Persistence all add to sweetness of OUR character. I just read solutions suggested by some readers like Presenting a Mass petition to AMMA for removing Neelan & Co. from AMRITA TV’s news division, starting a new channel etc. These , I think are short sighted solutions. When Param Poojya Doctorji thought of organising HINDU society and started SANGH, the road before him was full of THORNS. He accepted the challenges before him and succeeded in building EXCELLENT HINDU ORGANISATION. He never resorted to any short cuts.As true followers of Doctroji, we should undertake a challenge that is nothing but ‘HINDUISING’ all the media giants including KAIRALI channel.From the words of some readers which came from their heart, I can understand they are really SAD & ANGRY. These brethren over-expected that AMRITA will resort to a IMPARTIAL stance. But that they did not happen . Let us first strive to make it a IMPARTIAL News Channel and as a next step as a sibling of HAINDAVA KERALAM in Television NEWS channel field. As pointed by one of reader , we should never consider it as a plot hatched by AMMA or Mutt. We should not forget the fact that AMMA is the embodiment of TYAGA [ which Param Pavitra Bhagva Dhwaj is representing ] and we should be careful our reactions should in no way denigrate AMMA or Mutt’s activities. A Marxian gameplan to create rift in VISHALA HINDU PARIVAR cannot be ruled out.
mithun 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? dear sir,what sandeep told is 100 percent true.before the launch of the channel,wat was said was ,it was a channel to spread the ideals and messages of AMMA.even i and my friends campaingned vigruosly for the channel among our friends thinking that it will help a lot in spreading sanatana dharma...but one of my friends whom i introduced the channel called up me one day and asked to turn on amrita tv and to my shock it was the program sandeep mentioned...different ways to cook beef....contrast it with yesterdays 'AMMAYUDE KUDE' program were AMMA was seen hugging ,kissing and feeding cows and calfs at coimbatore vishva vidyapeetham campus....kali kaalam, if then wat else, OM AMRITESHVARIYEE NAMAH..
Suresh 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear SandeepThe information what you gave us is really SHOCKING. One side AMMA, founder of Mata Amritanandamai Mutt and Amrita Telecommunication Pvt. Limited (Amrita TV) is performing GO POOJA and the other side her own AMRITA TV is teaching us how to cook BEEF!!!!. Now the big question is if AMMA is nothing to do with Amrita TV, then this channel is belongs to whom?? Suresh
KAVITHA MENON 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I DON’T KNOW WHY WE PEOPLE ARE CRYING BEFORE THIS COMMUNIST SPONSORED AMRITA TV. INSTEAD WE SHOULD LAUNCH AN ALTERNATIVE CHANNEL AND CHALLENGE THEM. CHALLENGE THEM PROFESSIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY. THAT IS THE WAY WE SHOULD RETALIATE NOT DISCUSSING HERE. THERE ARE MILLIONAIRES IN HINDU COMMUNITY ACROSS THE WORLD. SO MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE. THE QUESTION IS WHO WILL TAKE INITIATIVE??
sandeep 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Two months before, my father noticed that a programme on Amrita called " Tastes of Kerala" which was briefing how to cook beef. I immediatly called to Amrita TV Thiruvananthapuram. I had a talk with Amrita TV's officials. The reply I got was shocking. The person who talked with me was shouting, " it is just a programme, there is nothing to protest'. I replied with a news from www.amritapuri.org on which Amma was doing GO POOJA. Then he said " Amrita TV has nothing to do with Amma's GO POOJA". I send a fax to Amrita TV office on the same issue with photo and news of Amma offering GO POOJA on Ashram. There are few criminals inside Amrita TV who are just there to theft money. We need to kick them out.
Pradeep Kumar 2/18/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Only discusing here is not enough to make this channel in order. Let all devotees whenever they meet AMMA for blessing, tell her about these nonsense going on in this channel. Tell AMMA about the dangerious hidden agenda & the communists involvement in this channel. Give her some example also. Just imagine suppose if one lack devotees complained to AMMA against the news division of Amrita TV, the next hour this Neelan & Team will be kicked out from Amrita Office. So public support is very very importent. Let us all make maximum awareness among public and Amma's devotees about the nonsense going on this channel.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? MY BROTHERS,I AM SADDENED AS MANY OF US ARE AT THE PLIGHT OF THE AMRITA TV . I AM MORE SADDENED BY THE GUILIBILITY OF MY FRIENDS WHO STILL BELIEVE THAT WE CAN FIGHT OUR WAR WITH A WEAPON IN ANOTHER PERSON'S HAND. JUST AS MANY OF US WERE MISTAKEN IN OUR BELIEF THAT HINDU UNITY COULD BE ACHIEVE BY A NARAYANA PANNIKKER - VELLAPALLI ALLAIANCE , OUR BELIEF IN AMRITA TV IS SEEN TO BE MISPLACED.LIKE NSS AND SNDP,AMRITA TV HAS ITS OWN AGENDA.OUR (MEDIA)WAR HAS TO BE FOUGHT WITH WEAPONS IN OUR OWN HANDS.WE HAVE TO FORGE NEW WEAPONS. WE HAVE TO SHARPEN THE WEAPONS AT HAND..WEAPONS LIKE ...THE 'JANMABHOOMI' NEWPAPER...YES..IT IS NOT EASY.BUT THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS.ONLY THE PATH OF STONES AND THORNS 'KANDAKAKEERNA MARGAM'WILL TAKE US TO WHERE WE WANT TO REACH..-GIREESH

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Its good you people take up this matter seriously. I had sent them more than 15 letters about this matter but not received single reply. Now I stopped writing them. They have their own agenda so why they should listen us?. Now I completely stopped watching Amrita News but I am a regular viewer of their other programs.regards Dr.Ranjit
nanda 2/18/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Yes it is a truth that the Channel which aroused much hope and relief in the general hindu mind is drifting away from the very ethos and cultural identity which HER HOLINESS AMMA herself propagates. This trend is to be curbed. But one serious thing I want to highlight is the unity among ourselves, ie the movements and institutions trying to strengthen Hindutva. Some forces are making problem among us. Be careful about that factor too.
ben gurion 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Om Amriteswarye NamahWhat this channel is up to, or to be more precise what this Com;Neelan and co are up to? Thrown out of other prestegous medias due to the reasons quiet obvious, which my culture doesn't permitt to elaborate, are clinging to Amrita's goodwill like parasites. I'm wondering why the authorities of mutt and the revered Swami's are not aware about all these facts? Those who are calling AMMA a DemiGod are at the helm of affairs. You've done a marvellous job in investigating all details, but why did you ignore the ridiculous scoop of one of its reporters about the involvement of RSS involvement in marad riot. Not even kairali dare to telecast such a foolishness. But why on earth HK ignore it? Was it because the mouth piece of RSS,Kesari gave away the best young journalist award to that particular reporter who reported that rubbish.
Raj Nair 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? It is time now that HIndus must seriously take initiative to start their own TV or better purchase one (I think this is better idea because the pseudo secular government in central as its policy for appeasing deseart religions, do not give license to a pro Hindu Televison Channel). Why not each statewise Hindu Organization (like Hindu Aikya Vedi in Kerala)start mobilizing funds for this noble event. It is past the time now, to expose the anti national, anti HIndu Kommunists, racist deseart religion leaders, corrupt congress party leaders, people like Madini, corrupt judges, and spread true ideals of Hinduism. Recentrly I am viewing on every month in Asianet a sort of "Mongolian Kids look like" Marxist Leaders getting off from their car and getting into a building to a room with century old files in their hand for "the so called Nonsense polit Bureau Meeting, to find more ways to destroy Hindu religion and Indian values.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Truly speaking, please tell us Amrita what is the difference between your news and other channels news. Really I dont see any difference. why you made big propagations that your channel will be a different one???? what difference??

Rajasekhara Panicker 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Hk unnoticed one more thing in Amrita News. If there is any protest march by ABVP, Yova Morch, BJP, HAV with less number of people Amrita News will defenetely broadcast that news. But if there is any major pro Hindu fuctions attended by mass public they will totally ignore it. For e.g recenly there was an ABVP march in Trivandrum and some other places but the number of participents were less but Amrita lifted that news. Today there was a march by Yuva Morcha activists to Trivandrum Airport, the number was very less, Amrita shown it. But the same Amrita News totally blacked out 150 Hindu Mala Sammelans across Kerala for the last one month which was attended by thousands of people. Amrita was hardly shown 5-6 programs that also with minimum coverage. This is one of their hidden agenda.
Krishnappa Palar 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Yes. I too noticed now a days there is not much difference between Kairali TV news & Amritha News. I think it is because the so called talent persons like Dr. Santhosh Kumar's full control over each and evry news related programme in the channel.What to do? Only when malayali hindu people start think and act seriosly these things will change.
S Jain 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Well the simple answer to all these problem is that we have to start our news channel. Please please stop expecting someone else to give you any coverage or respect. Respect is earned and not given.Just like it is foolish for a muslim organiation to expect proper coverage from Haindarav Keralam. We should stop wishing that someone else will give our due respect. We need to earn it, and not beg for it and cry like the author of this article, every time some commi doesn't like us.I am tried of hearing Hindus bitch about someone else treating us poorly in media.Haindava Keralam has shown the way by creating a website which provides alternate source of news for the Hindu masses. This action needs to be repeated by other like minded Hindu and especially Hindu organizations such as RSS, VHP.Rather than complainting about others, lets create our own media by way of Internet, Community Radio, Local Newspapers and then maybe Television.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? absolutely correct.stop watching amrita news.one of the readerrightly pointed out.asianet news is better now.but there aresome non news programme in amrita which are good.any how we badly need a hindu t.v channel.
Vijayalakshmi 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I am glad that you have done some good investigation into the Minority-Marxist nexus controling Amrita TV, about which I mentioned a few times in my comments on Haindavakeralam website.Most people like me were eagerly waiting for watching Amrita TV programmes.We were told that they will be showing only 'positive' programmes.including the TV serials.Unfortunately,the quality of the Serials is 'very bad'. DD 4(Malayalam) serials are of good quality,whereas Amrita TV serials are the worst!I am sure this 'infiltration' by the Minority-Marxist nexus into Amrita News Division and Entertainment sections is a pre-planned move with ulterior motives! As a regular viewer of Amrita TV, I find the news broadcast very biased and anti-Hindu. Some weeks ago there was a 2-day SNDP Yogam which was telecast 'live'. It was 'live' only in name! Sooshmananda seems to be a marxist 'mole'.Despite his losing the election to Swami Prakashananda,his faction still seems to weild power in SNDP.so they managed to invite the communist CM,whose entire speech,peppered with references to his favourite 'communal elements-bashing' was given full coverage. A young Hindu leader's speech was 'blacked-out'.So also was Swami Prakashananda's speech! I particularly noticed the pain in the Swami's speech,but we were not allowed to listen to what he had to say.Amrita TV camera deliberately strayed elsewhere, so as not to 'cover' the Swami's speech and the Hindu leader's. This much for their 'live coverage'!'Nadakame Ulagam' also has an anti-Hindu Santosh Kumar,sometimes leaving bitter taste in our mouth. He also passes ill-conceived comments, in Pathra visesham, like 'why should BJP and Hindu organizations object to the privileges being given by the Govt for muslims,based on the Sachar Committee report about the backwardness of muslims.'We know that the Sachar Report has no 'sach'(truth)in it- it is a 'manipulated' one.In Kerala, Muslims are the richest community.Who can refute this?It is a fact that there is a well-planned scheme by the Marxist-Minority nexus to infiltrate our Hindu organizations and Mutts to 'sabotage' and cause in-fighting from within. Let all of them be warned of the evil designs of the marxists.Some months back,RSS wanted Amma's blessing for a magazine of theirs.Inspite of approaching the Mutt several times,they did not get it- somebody is manipulating there already!

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Why we are worried this amrita. watch asianet news. its far better than this amrita. specially for the last 2 months there is significant changes on asianet news policies. now you can see hindu aikya vedi / vhp related news as flash news in asianet. Nowadays asianet launched massive attack against CPM. let us forget this amrita and watch asianet for time being till we get a real patriot channel in kerala.
Manoj 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? The contents of this article is true & its true many people now stopped watching amrita news but be very careful while writing anything against Amma's institutions. Various sources indicates that the present policy of amrita news division is part of a biggest mission to create rift between AMMA-RSS. mANY marxists / congress leaders from Kerala are behind this. Few cpm leaders are very close associate with amrita news chief and some other sr. journalist there. so let us not fall in to their evil design and the criticism should not go beyond amrita news division.sincerely

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION?

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? This is a fact....the channels' news divison is trying to impress Leftsist pseudo intellectuals from the begining. For them Prof M N Vijayan who justified the killing of Jayakrishnan master is an intellectual and idelogue, but P Parameshwarji is an outcast...there is deliberate agenda behind all this ...Amrita is trying to become B team of asianet...While trying to expose this...one should be very careful not to denigenerate the Madom and our Swamis....because that is exactly these people want...they want RSS and other Hindu organisations to turn against the channel..they want to create a rift...between Amma and RSS...so that it is easy for them to carry on with their agenda...so let the fight be against the "intellectuals" planted by AKG centre in Amrita....
