namsate EM,
i am sorry for posting in a thread which is so old,i never realized that i should also check the dates when the posts were posted. I am just getting hang of using the forum(i've never been in one) so please excuse my ignorance
thanks for pointing out that certificates are indeed issued ,..but is there any provision of this kind in any of our scriptures?
the societies which issue such certificates will end up creating a new sect in my opinion
It seems absurd to say that "i am a certified Hindu",so that means a non certified hindu might not be a hindu in their views !! according to me that takes away all the good this religion has because if there is certification there must be people who judge the candidates,down the line they will even start issuing fatwas and try to command hindus who they have certified in this process i guess god(religion) and humanity takes a back seat and the people on the top become the gods on earth (i guess we have seen that a lot !!)
about the temples i know of some temples(in south india) which have dress code and allows only hindus and i guess there are a few who only allow brahman community,well i say that is pure nonsense,if lord ram can share berries with shabri why can't such people(be it people from lower castes or other religions) pay their respect in the temple,
*ram ji tells shabri about the nava-vidha bhakti,nine forms of devotion.after telling the nine froms he tells that out these nine, "bhakti" pleases me the most*
so why people on earth mere mortals should govern who should enter the house of god who is totally blind to the mortal identity of his bhagat,....may be because we gave them power to certify
