Gate-crashing into a function is a common phenomenon. But have you

heard about the reverse of it: Including popular persons in the

guest list of a function without their consent?

 

Well, the organisers of a function got up by a group of Christian

missionaries who have been going around propagating utter falsehoods

as 'historical truths' have done just that.

 

This group of self-styled 'secular thinkers' has been going to town

with ridiculous theories like Lord Siva is a manifestation of Jesus

Christ. This group, claiming that it has done lot of research on the

history of 'Dravidian religion', has also held several meetings and

lectures on the subject saying that Hindu religion is an off-shoot

of Christianity after Saint Thomas started propagating it here.

 

These self-anointed historians are holding a silent prayer meeting

in Mylapore tomorrow. The invitation card, for the prayer meeting at

Thiruvallur temple, says that several Vaishnava scholars, led by

Sriperumpudur Varada Ethiraja Jeeyar, will address the meeting.

 

As it happens, none of these Vaishnava scholars know about this

meeting and nor have been reached for participating in it. 'They

have included the Jeeyar's name and others probably for some

publicity. They have not sought permission before including Jeeyar's

name in the invite,' sources in the Maha Jana Sabha after speaking

to Jeeyar today said.

 

Other Vaishanav scholars whose names figure in the list also feel

that their names figure in the invite just to give credibility to an

otherwise dubious function. 'There is an ulterior motive to all of

these. This is all part of the missionary activities,' Hindu Maha

Jana Sabha sources added.

 

Others who are slated to address the meeting (according to the

invite) are Lawrence Pius, Rev John Deva Sagayam, Ezra Sargunum and

R Victor Dharmaraj.

 

The organisers of this programme recently created a kerfuffle in the

city through posters pasted at prominent places that claimed

Christianity is the original Hinduism. But now they have gone one

step ahead: They have gate-crashed a party on unsuspecting souls.
