Governor briefed on various social reform initiatives

Hyderabad, March 13 (Maxim News): CS Rangarajan of Temples Protection Movement (TPM) along with Samajika Samarasatha Vedika represented by Dr Vamshatilak, Prof Narsing das, Ramchander Rao MLC, Appalaprasad met Her Excellency the Governor of Telangana Smt Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday 13/3/20…She was invited for a proposed book release on the Social reformers of India.

The priest of Chilkur CS Rangarajan briefed shortly about his efforts.
The Muni Vahana Seva is an emulation of a ceremony that was prevalent in Tamil Nadu 2700 years back. It is a ceremony that is performed in a Vaishnava temple and reflects the essence of Sanatana Dharma.

Sri Rangarajan said, “Acharya Ramanuja preached that everyone is equal in God’s eyes and there is no high or low. And Sant Ravidas guided people of all classes and communities in the path of bhakti with his teachings. It is our responsibility to remove the disparities that came in between various beings in the world.”

In the present circumstances, when discrimination in the name of caste and class is rampant, the same was carried out in April 2018 for the first time after 2700 years in Hyderabad, where CS Rangarajan carried a devotee Aditya Parasri into the Ranganatha Swamy temple in Jiyaguda amid fanfare. “The idea is to show that Sanatana Dharma treated everyone as equal before God and the so-called discrimination crept into the system in recent times,” Rangarajan explained to Her Excellency the Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.
Narrating his experience to the Governor, Rangarajan said he had considered the Dalit devotee, Aditya Parasri, as the holy Tiruppanalwar himself when he carried him into the temple. “It is heartening that my small step had coincided with the millennial appearance celebrations of Sri Vaishnavite Savant Bhagawad Ramanuja, who had fought for a casteless and egalitarian society,” he said. He added that the ‘Kaisika Purana’ also showed that a Brahmin surrendered before a Scheduled Tribe devotee and attained salvation.
