No one can police God's Temple, but God, since the whole world is his temple. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.. where can one flee from his presence?

This whole idea that they are guarding God's temple from non-Hindus shows their own lack of spiritual understanding. They actually think God is contained in a building made of hands.

As to temples like this. Anyone who sees all souls as divine sons of God (we are all God's children!), will agree spiritual places of sanctuary should be open to ALL sincere seekers, coming to seek the Lord, no matter what skin color or religion they adhere too.

There are many white Vaishnavas, including the owner of this forum. Such people should not be turned away from the Temple of the Lord because of the color of their skin. It is appalling!! Is the Lord turning these people away? or is it fuddy old uncompassionate men, lost in their stale old customs and practices?
