All Hindus can enter temples: Seer
[ 4 Nov, 2006 0148hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

 BHUBANESWAR: Dwarka Shankaracharya Swami Swarupananda Saraswati on
Friday said all Hindus, irrespective of caste, should be allowed entry
into all temples, but strongly objected to Hindus of foreign origin —
especially under the Iskcon fold — from going inside temples.

He was responding to an ongoing controversy over Dalits allegedly
being denied entry to the Jagannath temple in Kendrapada district.
Swarupananda Saraswati, who is here on a trip, said that all Hindus
should have free access to temples, but nobody except the traditional
priest of the concerned temple should enter the sanctum sanctorum.

"Nobody is denying entry any Hindu on caste considerations. Everybody
should be treated equally," he said.
