Govt to recruit SC/ST youth to serve as priests in Muzrai temples


From Our Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network

Bangalore, Oct 1: After the revolutionary initiative of senior Congress leader and former Union Minister B Janardhana Poojary in appointing two widows from the Scheduled Caste community as priests in the Shree Gokarnatheshwara Kshethra temple at Kudroli in Mangalore, the State Government is planning to recruit youth from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes community to serve as priests in temples run by the Muzrai Department in Karnataka.

Karnataka’s Social Welfare Minister H Anjaneya, who himself belongs to the Scheduled Caste community, warmly applauded the revolutionary step initiated by Poojary in appointing SC widows as priests in the 102-year-old Kudroli temple of the Billava community.

``We will provide training in Vedas, rituals and Sanskrit language to interested SC/ST youth who are willing to forward to become priests,” Anjaneya declared.

After the training, he said the Muzrai Department will post SC/ST priests in temples which are generating a lot of revenue.

A large number of temples have been facing severe financial difficulties due to negligible support from the Government and less number of devotees visiting temples.

Revenue of more than 30,000 temples is below Rs 1 lakh per year.

Congress leader Poojary, who is a patron of the temple, said SC women inducted as priests in line with the philosophy of temple-founder Narayana Guru, who espoused a caste-free society.

Anjaneya said recruitment of SC/ST men and women as priests would help to eliminate caste barriers in the society.

A meeting with the Muzrai Department would be held to find out number vacancies of priests existed in temples, the minister said.

    When it comes to fight with others or during election, no SC no ST..... all are hindu.
    But when its upgrading/welfare of backward people, then Superior/Inferior/SC /ST will come in to picture. This is the hidden agenda of one category people. We have to raise against these category who say themselves as next to god.. Hidden agenda is no more hidden now.

    I'm strictly against untouchability & against cast based reservation.
    In my opinion only financial aid for education of the underprivileged section of the society is enough. Let them face the competition to achieve success rather than taking things for granted & remaining idle. Dr. Ambedkar scaled heights through hardships, not by enjoying the reservation.
    Australia spends a lot on aborigins. They are given top class facilities but what's the result? Hardly one in a thousand secures a job. Others, in spite of the govt.'s efforts, are happy living the aboriginal life style, which their ancestors lived for thousands of years.
    Similarly if you appoint them as priests, do you think that they remain in the temple performing the pooja for a meager salary.?
    They earn 400 Rs. a day as a coolie.
    They sell wild boar meat for 300 Rs./kg.
    A bottle of wild honey is sold for a good price.
    For climbing one coconut tree they charge 30 Rs.
    Add to that, the different privileges from the govt.
    Now they are acquainted to a pretty much cosy lifestyle, that the salary of the priest wouldn't be so lucrative for them.

    Govt to recruit SC/ST youth to serve as priests in Muzrai temples. Reservation in our temples too is implemented now, which is against our religious freedom and is against the constitution. Can anyone bring home SC/ST priest to perform pooja or rituals at your home?. I am not sure why govt is interfering or imposing the rules in our religious beliefs, which is against our religious freedom, which is very sensitive. One of the main reason for people to migrate to another country is to have economic and religious freedom.

    After reading the news and the comments, it clearly indicates almost everyone disagrees by this move. I am not a Brahmin, but I believe that there are certain protocals & system for everything (including becoming a priest). Mr. Poojary must have appointed the ladies as priests on a positive note. But this is not the only way to help them, he can initiate Work-at-home-Schemes which will help many woman’s to earn a good living.
    By training Non Brahmins to become a temple priest doesn’t seem to be a revolution to me. It’s not an overnight procedure to become Priest in a Church or Mosque. Infact to become a priest in a Church takes lot of efforts and qualification. Then why there are double standards in Hindu religion.
    Hindu religion is a oldest religion in the world, we should not change the rules in the name of Revolution.

    Priests in temples run by the Muzrai Department are normally getting a salary of around Rs 3-4 thousand a month.These priest basically do this job as family tradition and purely out dedication to serve god.
    Let siddu find at least one Priest to do this job.
    Last year Poojary appointed few widows as Priest. Within few days everyone disappeared.

    Post graduation is three yrs course for Master degree.
    Generally when a student becomes a graduate/post graduate he will be around 23/25 yrs
    To get the proficiency in temple priest hood it is totally dedicative and needs continues reading/studying the vedic scriptures.It is a continueous process.
    People have no problem is receiving SC/ST as priests provided student has the inclination towards the field/subject.Now somewhere in the city temple women priests were inducted after 15 days training to work as priest.One may argue that mantras,tantra are not required for pure devotion and poojas.The mute question is can we have this system in Hindu temple admn/day to day affairs and poojas.DK has a number of famous ancient serenes which have its own history/custom and practices.I doubt the now envisaged system by the state govt will take off in its right perspective.

    I am really don't understand what the Karnataka State government is doing. The people become small or big based on his vision and attitude, but what Mr. Anjaneya is trying to do. I think appointing a priest or interfering in religious faith of the citizens are not supposed to be the vision of any government, rather they should think of improving living standards of the people by provide education, employments, roads, houses, electricity, transportation, medical support etc, Any government should have clear vision statement and commitment to meet that. This congress government is acting as government only for backward class, and Muslims.Government should cater all the 6 or 7 crores people of Karnataka state in its best way then only it is known as popular government. If Mr. Anjaneya want to bring equality among the people by appoint the SC/ST class people as temple priest, It is also welcome if he start institute for Hindu vedic / agama / tantric rituals , and give chance to all whoever want to pursue ( All the cast/ tribe of people who believe in Hindu culture and faith and appoint them as required. Please don not mix religion with politics, and think big and high so all the people of Karnataka/ India/ World would be benefited. " Small people only think small and low "

Now same people will pay the price along with all others for this kind of Non-Sense Governance by CONGiss. May be day will come when upper cast will be denied entry to such Temples saying that today’s SC/ST day and others are not allowed.

    All has to pay heavy taxes to the government (Government has to make proper analysis of the contribution). Before providing reservation, government should think for all those who have paid heavy taxes which has been contributed for the development of the state. Now, no support or protection for tax payers and benefit goes these type of schemes.

    Anjaneya is weighing the limelight that JP enjoyed by his latest social experiment.
    The move suggested by Anjaneya in principle is a very good move. All human beings are creations of God and all human beings regardless of their cast can serve God.
    However, it is the man made law that is the issue here. Do not go far and just get a sneak peak at Tamilnadu wherein several youths were lured by the DMK Govt under their own social experiment. Supreme court judgement meant that this experiment was a huge failure and all those youth who left their trade and took the 4 years course to attain priesthood were left high and dry. DMK not only failed to force these priests to homes of people but also failed to make it mandatory on temples to hire them due to the intervention by the courts. When people like Anjaneya talk, that eventuality looks very very certain here as well.

    See the Maharashtra Govt reservation:
    Scheduled caste 13%
    Scheduled tribe 7%
    Other backward class 19%
    Special backward class 2%
    Nomadic tribes (A to D) 11%
    Marathas 16%
    Muslims 5%
    Total 73%
    Christians can be considered under OBC provided they are recent converts from SC & ST only.
    I have heard that the standard of scheduled class candidates, Christians and Muslims, who are appointed under reservation, is good, since competition is high among themselves. Other than that, for standard, see any govt office.

    The Reservation system was brought to uplift the people who were denied of several facilities in the Indian Society. Dr Ambedkar too stressed that over the period, the reservation percentage should be reduced as these people come to national mainstream.

    With these move it is high time that Reservation policies be removed, as they are now permited to be Priests. So either we should provide Reservations to all sections of society or simply scarp the Reservation Policy, as it looses the value now. Also, better we bring Reservation to CM post itself, so that we can remove present Siddanna to be replace with people like H Anjaneya.

    If we look at most of the Foreign coutries, hardly do they have Reservation Policy, as they give priority to only those who have ability/skill to work. Countries like US, European, Japan, China, etc. have developed only as result of hard work, & not as a matter of Reservations. If they find that you lack skill, they will just show a Gate Pass. Devegowda too had tried to implement this Policy in IT industry some years back when they where in power, which was then severely opposed by Narayan Murthy & Asim Premji. It is sad part that Reservations has become a triumph Card in Indian Politics.
