There'll be a day when one could click on your link on the forum/email and start walking into the real world to check out the beach where you are building this temple. Till that day arrives we'll have to accept your "talk" just the way you accept the claims by others. You have conveninently ignored posts by others on hundreds of dalit/tribal conversions. You pooh-pooed the fact that over 500 women in past 30 years are being trained as priests. Why is it that it's so difficult for you to accept the fact that there are others out there who are doing more and have done more than you possibly can? If you have any point to make on this forum, please tell as to how your methodology and results differ from those who are doing their bit. If you park your behind web blogs and forums passing judgements on others who are doing their bit, expect the same back.

"We have a real village, real people--two castes live in the area. We have been asked to fund renovation of a temple in the 'paria' hamlet. I put the condition that the we'll help only if the temple is open to all--that fishermen caste are invited to the temple opening and have some people from the city attend it too. Also since is being done by a religious orgnaization--I wanted them to do an upanayanam ceremony for a few boys and girls in the village. They readily agreed!"<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
To have a true appreciation for what you claim, feel free to share: name of the place, pictures if possible, the number of people who will benefit from this temple, the obstacles you all faced, how you overcame or plan to overcome those obstacles etc. Also how strong is their belief about or this upanayanam a token head bath a la Baptism? See if you can answer these questions as I'd really like to know.
