2 items on Hindu temples many centuries old being destroyed and vandalised/deliberately de-sanctified by [the "secular" arm of] christianism.
1. Christianism always goes for a secular-looking murder of heathen temples where possible. In such cases, the "secular" cryptochristian government follows the tactic that the christoBrits did so well in destroying Hindu temples: "it's for secular/political reasons onlee". Yes of course it was.
Christians will screech about how a mere-100 year old church is "ancient" and that the government should therefore build around the ugly christian obstructions where they're in the way of national construction plans. Yet, the same christian govt that is so ready to fall in with the wishes of their christian sheep is, of course, ready to mow down yet another ancient Hindu temple. This Hindu temple is so old that it was already there (for who knows how long) in Tirugnyaanasambhandar's time: he famously visited it - it was already in existence 1500 years ago. To place it into perspective, the Temple already existed (those 1500 years ago) when the Roman empire was still around and a significant number of the ancient Hellenes yet survived. The temple was already around about a 150 years give or take after Julian. And 525 CE was about the time that Buddhism was introduced in Japan. I.e. whenever the Hindu temple may have been built in TN, it is older than anything Buddhist in Japan.
Oh, it seems the matter is worse than I thought. Last time I saw the news on this temple at the following site - which was some months ago - the Hindoos were celebrating an obviously pre-mature victory: the bhaktas' mass protest and appeal to save their Temple of their Gods had then succeeded - or so they imagined - as the christogovt pretended it was going to leave the temple alone. But you know christianism's motto: Try Try Again until the heathens' temples are all destroyed.
So the matter's back as main news/main appeal at:
shaivam.org/events/evn-20130503-maanampadi.htm
The TN CM (Joylolita again I think) is a crypto-catholic. Pleading to her is no good. Because this is all part of her intention (same as that of the crypto christian DMK govt before her). It's why she orchestrated the deliberated unjust arrest of the Kanchi Swamis.
The Tamizh version of the horrific news above can be read further down at the same link, at shaivam.org/events/evn-20130503-maanampadi.htm
It also offers details about where Hindoos can send their complaints, in case complaints may achieve anything more than temporary. It's possible that Hindus may postpone the evil day for a few months more, and keep doing so indefinitely until one day their vigilance wanes. And then ... christianism will pounce.
2. Recall that the cryptochristian govt-imposed "HRCE" department is the secular-looking hand of christianism behind dismantling (the sanctity of) Hindu temples. It is how a cryptochristian government works in a heathen nation, in the beginning.
The following is a Hindu temple that is older than the 14th century CE: since it's mentioned it was already there when the Kavi Kalamegham resided there and he's apparently dated to that time.
So that links the following article by Shantanu. There are more links in the body it, but see his own page for that.

(Note: the references to "DMK" are merely references to christianism's temporary cover in TN, since DMK is a cryptochristian christianising movement, same as LTTE. The first step of all christianisation is de-heathenisation, after all. Christianism tends to do this by replacing local Hindu identity with intermediate identity via the temporary cover. Then christianism replaces this intermediate identity with itself: conscious christianisation of the de-heathenised. Like a lot of LTTE and DMK entities are actually christian.)
Anyway, anyone who can't see the hand of christianism behind all this, will doubtless be done in by christianism while never being the wiser for it. (Well, it's certainly one way of going and the old adage does go "ignorance is bliss" or something.) Hindus insist on being doomed to blindness, it seems.

Quote:[color="#FF0000"]Manampadi Temple under Threat
Save our temple[/color]
On the proposal from National Highways Authority of India to widen the Highway near Manampadi (between Thirupanadal and Kumbakonam - NH 45C) by grabbing a large area of the Temple, renovated by Rajendra Chola.
We earnestly appeal to each one of you to spare 5 minutes to lodge an online complaint to NHAI and also write to Tamilnadu Chief minister's cell. Your support for this noble cause will be highly appreciated.
The demolition spree of the National Highways Authority of India seems to be unabated. In the name of widening the road between Vikravandi and Thanjavur (NH 45 C), it threatened the Temple at Panayapuram during last year. Though the Temple belongs to the Chola period and sung by Thirugnanasambandar some 1500 years ago in Thevaram Hymns, the NHAI turned a deaf year on requests made by the locals and other devotees to spare the Temple. It went ahead and sent the surveyors to make marks which happened to be well within the Temple premises. This was an unbearable rude shock not only for the devotees but also to those who love our rich Heritage. Thiruvathirayan Thiruvarut Sabha swung into action by registering an online complaint with NHAI and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's cell. It also wrote letters to HR&CE and the press about the need to halt the proposed demolition. CM's cell acknowledged the complaint and routed the same to the Chief engineer of the project,based in Thanjavur. The locals also met Villupuram Collector and pleaded for his intervention. God 's mercy has finally saved the Temple and the talks on the proposed demolition got faded.
This Highway passes through a tiny village called Manampadi near Cholapuram,between Thiruppanandal and Cholapuram. Sri Naganathaswami Temple at Manampadi was renovated by Rajendra Chola and it is known for its marvellous sculptures. Since the Temple is not far away from the road, the NHAI may be of the opinion to grab it without any difficulty.
Now it is time again for all devotees to raise up and protest the step taken by the dept. HR&CE dept of the Govt of Tamilnadu should lead the fight and save the Heritage structure. We have already lodged an online complaint to NHAI and request others to follow suit. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister may use her good offices to impress the Central Govt to drop the proposal.
The TN CM (Joylolita again I think) is a crypto-catholic. Pleading to her is no good. Because this is all part of her intention (same as that of the crypto christian DMK govt before her). It's why she orchestrated the deliberated unjust arrest of the Kanchi Swamis.

Quote:'Secular Carvings' - Atheist EVR and Fraudster Theresa adorn this century old temple!

To know the extend of degradation happened to Hindu pride in Tamilnadu, have a glance at this ââ¬ËSecular Carvingsââ¬â¢ which adorn this temple. No, this is not in any of those modern Ashrams by Missionaries to fool Hindus, But from a centuries old temple. This is only one of the temple which underwent ââ¬Ësecularisationââ¬â¢ under Tamilnadu Governmentââ¬â¢s HR & CE department. To add salt in the wound in the Hindu pride they cleverly chose the likes of EVR ((Hardcore atheist who once garlanded SriRam with a garland of shoes ), Mother Theresa and Annadurai! Again money for all this ââ¬ËRenovationââ¬â¢ in this century old temple was collected in a massive fund drive among local devotees.

Quote:Of Secular Carvings, Sacred Spaces and Agama Violations
1 June 2012 1,105 views 14 Comments
Dear friends, I am not sure how many of you will be shocked and outraged by what I am about to share with all of you. I was more than shocked and outraged, I was aghast and furious; and determined to do something about this. But first, a sad story of government invasion of sacred spaces (aka ââ¬Åmanagementââ¬Â of temples by government controlled ââ¬ÅTrustsââ¬Â), ââ¬Åsecularââ¬Â carvings, Agama violations and outrageous ââ¬Årenovationsââ¬Â. As some of you may know, I am very time-constrained at present so this post is more in the nature of rough note based on a few bullet points. It does manage to convey all the relevant points though. Read on:
The Kalamangalam temples in Erode Taluk
ââ Kalamangalam is located in Southern bank of Cauvery river 15 km from Erode to Karur road. It is one of the traditional ââ¬ÅKaaniââ¬Â Village in Poondurai country out of it 32 Kaanis, since Chera Maharaja times. It comprises 18 villages
ââ Kulavilakkamman temple (form of Badrakaliamman) is a ââ¬ÅKaaniââ¬Â temple for 18 villages. The village also contains Bhuloganayaki Sametha Mathyapureeswarar temple and Bhudevi Neeladevi Sametha KalyanaVaradharajar temple.
ââ These temples are managed traditionally by Kanna Gothra Konga Vellalar community (see additional information on the Kongu Vellalar community here; also here)
ââ The Kulavilakkamman temple is now under the management of HR&CE appointed trustees from Konga Vellalar community, since 1960s.
Apparently, the ââ¬Åcommercializationââ¬Â of the temple and the entry of ââ¬Åpoliticsââ¬Â into this sacred space started in 2007 when a massive fund-raising drive was launched (with publicity) for the purpose of renovation and consecration of the temple. I do not know exactly how much money was collected but it was enough to do a number of things in the name of ââ¬Åtemple renovationââ¬Â. These included:
ââ Removal of statues of horses, cows and elephants on the ground that they were not in good condition (but photographs suggest otherwise)
ââ Removal of the Nagar statues in the north west corner
ââ Steel roofs around the temple premises that hid the view of the Gopura Kalasam (a major violation of the Agama Shastra; see this and this; also this for more on Agama Shastra)
ââ Marble flooring that was slippery and another Agama violation
Around the same time apparently, a proposal was mooted to rent out the temple for marriage purposes and charge money for it. You can see some photos of the ââ¬Åworkââ¬Â here.
(That is typically christian handiwork. The same christianism that was behind insisting that women of a certain agegroup should be allowed in Shabari temple despite this specifically not being part of the temple's tradition, the same cryptochristianism that aggravated about how Tamizh songs *should* be sung to Chidambara Nataraja from a location where they were not meant to be rendered as per the temple's tradition and wanted the times for rituals at Chidambaram changed to the wrong times, etc etc.
But Hindus appear to obstinately refuse to recognise the obvious christian fingerprint - even when this is part of the very grip that is going to choke you to a brutal death.)
But worse was to comeââ¬Â¦
Sometime during the last few years, the eastern doors of the temple were replaced(?) with ones that had carved faces of ââ¬â among others ââ¬â EVR (who apparently once garlanded SriRam with a garland of shoes), Mother Teresa, Annadurai and Abdul Kalam (see here). The walls were further defaced by engraving the names of trustees on them.
Worse, the roof angles made for the ââ¬Ågodown-likeââ¬Â structures initially carried the DMK symbol, Rising Sun which were eventually removed after opposition from the devotees (pl see pics at the link above & if you wish to see more, pl leave a comment below).
The final aggravating act for the devotees of the Kulavilakkamman temple was the consecration of the temple in February 2011 in violation of the established rituals and Shastras. Apparently, this was done in spite of the entreaties of the traditional Sivacharya.
The temple is a ââ¬Ålivingââ¬Â example of Chola architecture and the Vijayanagara style ââ¬â besides being a few centuries old ââ¬â and on the basis of being a protected monument, it should not have been violated in this manner. Sadly, people who protested have apparently been threatened with false cases; unsurprisingly, no one is prepared to come out publicly on this. The story would have remain buried among the locals were it not for the effort of some keen Bhaktas who were aghast with these developments and decided to share it with the wider world.
Please share this tale of egregious and outrageous behaviour among your friends and family ââ¬â especially those from Tamil Nadu. Needless to add, please keep an eye out for any such work or activities in any sacred places you visit. If you spot something like this, pl send me details and I will be happy to share it on the blog. As for this particular matter, a legal case is now being prepared, complaints have been filed and hopefully we will see a resolution in due course. Thanks to Radha-ji for alerting us to this and sharing with the wider community. I have additional photographs and links to some videos of these violations in case anyone is interested.

Also read: Of Hindu Temples, Forms of Gods and Mother Teresa (Link goes to a piece on a UK Hindu temple that has acquired a statue or pillar engraving or something of "Mother Teresa" and apparently willingly hosts this grotesque monstrosity in the temple for whatever reasons. Not that I care about temples in the UK or irgendwo, anyway... They're built Yesterday in sites that - let's be honest - are not places where the Hindu Gods manifested, but are rather of a country that is the abode of the Gods of the natives.
A pity that Hindus didn't fashion a Donar vigraha or one of a Celtic God/dess out of respect for the locals' ancestral Gods and in memory of the ancient genocided heathen natives who died loyal to their Gods. Hindus could have offered worship to these asking for the welfare of their heathens and return to ancestral heathenism of their own peoples. But Teresa? Sigh.)
P.S. Poet Kalamegham of 14th century (who sung like dark clouds lashing rains) lived in this Eswar temple and hence the town was renamed after him as Kalamangalam from Mathyapuri. This village is in centre (madhya) of the river Cauveryââ¬â¢s length & breadth, hence the earlier name.
(Note: the references to "DMK" are merely references to christianism's temporary cover in TN, since DMK is a cryptochristian christianising movement, same as LTTE. The first step of all christianisation is de-heathenisation, after all. Christianism tends to do this by replacing local Hindu identity with intermediate identity via the temporary cover. Then christianism replaces this intermediate identity with itself: conscious christianisation of the de-heathenised. Like a lot of LTTE and DMK entities are actually christian.)
Anyway, anyone who can't see the hand of christianism behind all this, will doubtless be done in by christianism while never being the wiser for it. (Well, it's certainly one way of going and the old adage does go "ignorance is bliss" or something.) Hindus insist on being doomed to blindness, it seems.
