Default Why do some Hindu temples are cleansed to "purify" them after a non-hindu visit them

like Guruvayur temple in kraal and Jaganath temple

didn't God create non-Hindus as well !

93,

Er, as I recall it's because some Temples and Customs from some Hindus is related very closely to the "Special-Nessa," of being from that area, and anything not from it, would be seen as an invader.

At least, that's what it appears, as several Avatara have lost status merely by traveling overseas.

I have no idea, darling. I've experienced nothing but welcoming courtesy from the Hindus I know, and I know that my beloveds temple is open to all, and greets interested visitors with friendliness and good cheer.

As a matter of fact, I've usually felt much more welcomed by Hindus than by Muslims or Christians, since there's absolutely no proselytizing or pressure to join or conform to their standards.

Hi' Dear, All Temple Holder Ponga Pandits and Purohits are required to clean there Heart, Mind and thoughts. Actually they very well know that these temples are only the part of Hippocratic Drama, and there is no relation or connection with God. There time will be going to end very soon.

Any Religious person will not show this kind of prejudice act and will be out of all conflicts.

Thanks.

1. May be they assume, Hindus follow the strict disciplines and hygiene, whereas non-Hindus may not be aware of such conviction as they are not inherent in their own faith, like avoiding times of birth/death in a family, physical cleansing etc.

2. This custom may have started during the foreign rule/invasions, when Puri temple suffered the most damage/ransack/temple-massacre of all times. Hence they may want to at least purify the place after a foreigner visits. This would be more of a caution from the sad lessons of history.

3. There are 1000's of temples that this is not the case, so it is NOT an issue of discrimination rather a tradition or practice.

4. I too, have seen sincere foreign Hindus, who are denied temple entry whereas the corrupt Hindu politicians are given the free closer Dasha. How is this justified?? How can we evaluate the true nature of the Person??
