കത്തോലിക്കനും യുക്തിവാദിയുമായ പാണ്ടിപ്പിള്ള വറീത് ഒരിക്കല് ഗുരുവിനോട് ചോദിച്ചു.
"ചെത്തും മദ്യപാനവും സ്വാമികള് വിചാരിച്ചാല് നിര്ത്തുവാന് സാധിക്കുമല്ലോ"
"മദ്യപാനത്തെ കുറിച്ച് നിങ്ങളുടെ മതത്തില് എന്ത് പറയുന്നു" ഗുരു ചോദിച്ചു.
വറീത്: "ക്രിസ്തു പറയുന്നത് മദ്യപാനി എന്റെ കൂടാരത്തില് വസിക്കില്ല എന്നാണ്"
ഗുരു: "എന്നാല് കൂടാരം ഇപ്പോള് ഒഴിവായിരിക്കുകയില്ലേ"
ReplyDeleteLiquor bars are a part of star hotels. There are numerous hotel industrialists in India. They are respectable persons and nobody calls them toddy sellers. But in Kerala, Ezhava hotel industrialists are called toddy sellers by the rivals of Ezhavas. Dr. Biju Ramesh is the managing director of Rajadhani group of companies, Rajadhani Hotels, Rajadhani Consrtuctions, Rajadhani College of science and technology etc. He is one of the big industrialists in Kerala having a doctorate in business management. However, some anti-Ezhava politicians call him toddy seller on TV channels in connection with a bribery case. Sri. Gokulam Gopalan is a mathematics graduate and is the managing director of Gokulam group of companies. He is the only individual in Kerala owning a medical college to his credit and one of the renowned industrialists in south India. A few days back one of our politicians called him toddy seller in public while he was on the dais at a meeting at Aruvippuram. This kind of insults to Ezhavas must be stopped, particularly at the holy places of Sree Narayana Gurudevan. All Ezhavas must be aware of anti-Ezhava politicians and refrain from inviting them to holy places like Sivagiri, Aruvippuram, Chempazhanthy etc. Gurudevan’s teachings are not only for Ezhavas but to all human race. It is sad to say that a few Ezhava political leaders became anti-Ezhavas for getting applause from savarnas.
I would appreciate a good Malayalam article on this subject in this blog.
