Meera Jasmine Converted to Hinduism?6/30/2006 10:48:43 AM HK
Talliparamba,Kannur.
South Indian Cine Actress Meera Jasmine have been showing belief in Hinduism since last few years. Born in a typical Kerala Christain family, she says Ammas (Amritananda Mayi) blessings is behind her sucessful career.
But her attempts to challenge the rules and regulations of Temples won’t be welcomed by Hindus in the state. Yesterday night Meera Jasmine was caught red handed when she was trying to do pooja in Raja Rajeswara Temple in Taliparamba by the temple security and officials.The temples in Kerala, especially those in Malabar strictly prohibit Non Hindus from entering the temple. When caught Govindan kutty Film Producer who was accompanying Meera told that she had converted to Hinduism and fled the place.
Meera Jasmine was warned few months back also not to enter this same temple as it was against the temple regulations. Once got polluted by the presence of Non Hindus the temples have to conduct elaborate purification procedures which extends to months.
By knowing the rules and Regulations of this holy temple it is highly condemnable from the part of a talented actress to challenge the beliefs of Hindus. If she is really obsessed with Hinduism, contact the concerned people to convert to Hinduism and then you will be welcomed in any of the temples, and you may not have to do poojas like a thief in the darkness

I think we Hindus have to be intelligent on situations like this one. If a Christian or Muslim wants to do Hindu poojas, isn't she or he that much 'Hinduised'? How else does anyone convert to Hinduism if not by performance of a pooja or ritual?
In fact, I think it is time that we Hindus adopted a dynamic stand - taking all to be Hindus unless proven otherwise! That is to say, except for those who believe that Islam is the only true religion or Jesus is the only saviour - all of mankind are Hindus!
