Untouchability in Hinduism.

 Untouchability in Hinduism. 

Untouchability (tindamai in Tamil) is to prevent the spread of negative / viruses from spreading, not to demean another human. 

The photo created by the so-called Karrupar Kootham (atheist anti-Hindu group) is wrong and misleading. The reality of lies. 

In the photo, they try to portray that untouchables are making statues for Hindu temples and later they were not allowed to enter the temples. 

This photo was definitely made by the Karrupar Kootham of EV Ramasamy stooges or fanboys to demean Hinduism. 

The reality of lies by the conversion agents, the Karrupar Kootham.

(A house contractor wants to sleep in the master bedroom of the house he build for a sum! Is he has the right?) 

Vigraha /Murthy Untouchable. 

Not only the sculptor, no one can touch a Murthy after the prana pratishta ceremony (temple consecration ceremony).   

Sculptor/ asaari of statues cannot be untouchable as per Agamas and Stabatya Scriptures, they have their own rules to follow before sculpturing works are done. 

It is only rock and becomes a sculpture/statue before prana pratishta. Anyone can touch. It becomes Murthy (God) after prana pratishta. 

Everyone can enter temples except those are under certain forbidden rules. And, no one can enter Garba griha (temple inner chamber) or touch the Murthy after prana pratishta except the appointed Acharya (priest) of the temple management. 

Untouchability in practice. 

Untouchability is not permanent, can be repented after prayaschita and shudikarma, or dissolves itself in a certain number of days. 

Hindus practice untouchability during the occurrence of forbidden deeds (such as eaten beef), menstruation (3 days), death (max 30 days), and birth (max 30 days) for the reason of prevention of negative /virus elements from spreading. (avoid taking food, avoid temples, avoid crowded gatherings, etc.) 

Those involved in funeral business and death needed to quarantine or prevent themselves from going into crowded places such as temples especially. And those involved in funeral rituals on a daily basis, definitely cannot go to temples. They are not untouchables by birth, but because of the nature of their job. 

Not to demean another human.                                                       

According to scripture, the same Brahman is in everyone, thus no one is higher or lower. The difference of humans is based on guna/attitude and karmas/actions mentioned in Bhagavad Gita, Tirukural, and Manusmriti. No single word mentioned to demean another person.

How to Escape from Untouchability/Tindamai.

Just follow all the rules of Sanatana dharma quoted for death, birth and way of life. Because nowhere it said that tindamai is permanent or by birth. Just join any of proper ashramam, they will perform shudikarma and guide for next level. Conversion to another religion is mere stupidity because it is like fall in the blind weld/ adharmic action create more bad karma.

Conclusion. 

The practice of untouchability is to prevent the spread of harmful viruses and not to demean another human. Why not see it as religious obligations? Anti Hindu groups and conversion agents manipulate these terms to divert and convert the Hindus.

Can't you see, Covid 19 made entire world populations become untouchables to each other? The preventive measures taken are to prevent the spread of viruses or untouchability in practice?

Om Namasivaya.
