Sree Vishweshwar Thirtha Swamiji handing over <br />the Idol Of Lord Aiyyappa to Ayyappadas” title=”Sree Vishweshwar Thirtha Swamiji handing over <br />the Idol Of Lord Aiyyappa to Ayyappadas” /><br /> <br />Sree Vishweshwar Thirtha Swamiji handing over <br />the Idol Of Lord Aiyyappa to Ayyappadas </div> <p>Kasargod:</strong> To protest recent ordinance, plans to takeover temples and to form a separate Malbar Devasvam Board, Hindu Aikya Vedi (A RSS organ) has arranged a programme at Sree Mallikarjuna  Temple Kasargod, Kerala. A Rathyatra having a truck with a replica of Shabarimala Temple with Ayyappa Idol has been made. The rath will be moving from Kasargod to Trivandrum (Tiruananthapuram) from 9 to 25 th may. In between the rath will visit 143 places/ temples and will have 18 public meeting in the evenings. The inauguration of the Rath was made by lighting a lamp by Sree Vishweshwar Thirtha Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt, Udupi. To light the lamp the Fire (Jyothi) was brought from Kollur Mookambika Temple. Members of the HJS were participated in the programme. </span></p> <p style=

Idol of Lord Ayyappa and Akhand Jyothi was installed in the Rath. Then there was a public meeting wherein Swamiji strongly objected interference of the Govt. in the temple affairs and taking over the temples. Swamiji also told only Hindus are humiliated whereas Christians and Muslims religious places are not governed by any law. Later Shri Kumaran Rajashekhar, organising Secretary of Hindu Aikya Vedi explained about the proposed law and the dangers of the law. He requested all the Hindus to unite against the proposed law.

Hindu Aikya Vedi State general secretary Kummanam Rajashekharan said here on Monday that the organization would conduct a temple protection yathra against the move to bring temples under government control.

The yathra, which will begin from Mookambika temple, kollur, on May 9th will conclude at Sree Padmanabhaswami Temple, Thiruvananthapuram, on May 25th. Devotees and leaders of Hindu organizations will conduct a secretariat march on May 26. Kummanam urged the government to set up an autonomous board for temples in the state, giving adequate representation to devotees.
 
"The secular government has no right to interfere in the temple administration and rituals. The government’s move to make legislation in this regard is unjust and the State Government cannot interfere with the activities of other religious institutions," he said.

Shivananda Prabhu of HJS <br />(wearing a cap) seen on dais </div> <p>"There are a lot of other religious institutions like Beemapalli and Malayattor and boards like Wakf Board. I dare the government to interfere in the activities of these institutions. So, the intervention in the activities of temples cannot be justified as it is an infringement on religious rights" he said. </span></p> <p style=

He alleged that the government had mooted a proposal to bring 23 temples, including Angadippuram Thali temple and Kozhikode Azhakodi Temple under its control. Kummanam said that it would lead to their destruction.

"The state Government is taking a double standard in this regard. Atheists and non-Hindu political leaders will denigrate the purity of temples." He said.
