A Muslim couple will dance at the Sivaratri festival at Sree Vadakkunnathan Temple, one of the important temples in the State, on February 14, in a rare show of communal harmony.


B.K. Shafeekudeen and his wife, Shabana Shafeekudeen, will present ‘Sivoham,’ a choreography on Lord Shiva.

I am sure some of the "orthodox (for lack of better term) Hindus" would be horrified. Others will be happy.

Are you sure about this dear prasadji? Won't the "liberals" (for lack of better term) be more unhappy that this couple have fallen into the deep pits of idol worship, paganism etc? Tsk..Tsk...

A muslim couple dancing on sivarathri festival is welcome. Everywhere in tamil nadu hindus and muslims are breathern. When we hear always the bomb blast is by that community we hate. But those living in india in all states are taking part in hindu festivals. In a village near cuddalore the seer donations to the mariamman is by that community for long long years. Politicians spoil us and gain. If we are alert even this bombing can be avoided in chennai where i live many muslims are contributing for anna dhanam during festive days let us maintain tyhis trend

I am sorry I suppose you need to find a better dictionary.
Liberal does not mean atheist, though many atheist are liberals.
I can bring a better dictionary to your attention, but there is no guarantee that it can change your views,
It is like one can take the camel to a well but can not make it drink.

hi

nice..

i like add comment in above article from the Hindu....

In Kerala itself it is happening.That too is in their District itself.Shree Guruvayurappan temple authorities should take note of this.It is high time to allow our Gana Gandarvan Shri.Jesudass to have Dharshan of Lord Guruvayurappan.He is in his late seventies.Now it is in the hands of Shree Krishnan alone.

What is meant in my post is that the self-styled liberals behave as hypocrites when they talk about orthodox hindus.

You did not seem to get it but then one needs more than a dictionary to understand it.

Muslims have been playing musical instruments and walking ahead in utsavar processions for ages. Some temples may not allow non hindus to enter, it is their freedom. How childish to jump as if on hot coals. Muslims participating in hindu temple activities is not uncommon all over india. It is another matter what muslims feel on such 'indulgences' and 'aberrations'!

This is the main point to be noted in the link given in the OP:

Authorities of the Vadakkunnathan temple have been regularly inviting non-Hindus to perform there, proving that art knows

no boundaries. Last year, they invited Stephen Devassy to present a fusion music programme at a festival.

Each temple has its own set of rules to follow!

let us first congratulate the couple for having faith in Hindu Gods. it seems they have fully understood the importance of understanding the faith. Lord Shiva belongs to the Universe. let us all dance on the Mahasivarathri day.

sarvam sivarpanam!!!!

எதைஎடுத்துக்கொள்வது? பானை சோற்றுக்கு ஒரு சோறு பதம் என்பதையா அல்லது ஒரு குடம் பாலுக்கு ஒரு துளி விஷம் என்பதையா?

 

[sarang]

Both are correct. One has to choose judiciously, with god given wisdom and intelligence. Now IT companies want to review their staff.

Surprised that people have not mentioned the other side of the coin. What if the orthodox mullahs issue a fatwa against this dancing couple?

 

[sarang]

That will not be reported by national media. Ignorance is bliss. 250 temples were vandalized. Murthys were broken. But 5 churches get global attention.
