This article is the second part of the book ‘Is Reformation Over For Hinduism’ by P. S. Remesh Chandran published by Amazon. The other parts are 1. The Disintegrating Kerala Temples, 3. The Elephantine Injustice, 4. The Fireworks Fiasco and 5. Is Reformation Over For Hinduism? They expose the farce going on in Kerala temples in the name of religion. The original title for this series was ‘Mad Things Happening In The Name Of Religion’. 

Loudspeakers the cruel face of religion, the greatest threat to children.
 

Mankind sees God in the faces of their children. The radiance we see in their faces is the radiance and innocence we envision of God. The language they speak in the first months of their arrival must be the language God speaks, brought from the land where they came from. Giving these little children the first priority in everything is giving God his due priority. Creating them and educating them is the only mission assigned to man by God. An intervening someone is the enemy of mankind and an enemy of the world. The evil of religion shows its cruel face in the form of the greatest threat to children- loudspeakers.

Temple committees and priests with electronic hypnosis and music mania.
  02. Loudspeakers: Temples Cannot Do Without This By Sebastian Rittau.

A child wakes up at 4 am in the morning and begins learning her lessons. She learns until 9 am when it is time for her to go to school. In the nearby temple a priest dips into the temple pond and, clad in scanty dripping clothes to show off his sex appeal to women, enters the shrine and switches on a Tape Recorder exactly at 4.00 am. It gives him a kind of sexual discharge he craves. His two mental impairments are Electronic Hypnosis and Music Mania which he does not know he has. He continues this intercourse with sound up to 9 am and well into the day when he has to eat and the child has to go to school. Who can control this senseless brute or treat his mental disorder? When the temple loudspeakers begin to roar, the child folds its book and complaints to its father. The child curses the priest, the priest’s father, mother, grand father, grand mother and bygone ancestors, the Hindu religion and all Hindu organizations and god- the first curses from a child. But what can its father do? How can a child learn when loud speakers roar all around from temples? How can even grown-up people read books when loudspeakers roar? Cursing all the way, the child packs her bag and goes to school. There is no government, organization, establishment or political party in Kerala, in India, to know the pangs of grief in that little mind. (…A description of these four and what they do in India deleted here… Editor). She returns from school at 4 pm in the evening and resumes her studying. Exactly at that time at 4 pm the priest dips again into the pool and showing off his sex appeal to the evening women enters the shrine and switches on the Tape Recorder for its evening protocol. It continues till 9 pm at night, unquestioned by not a soul in India. Ten precious hours lost from the life of a child! Irrecoverable loss of ten hours each day from the life of a young citizen of India- an irreparable damage and irrecoverable loss continued through years- due to the insatiable lust of a brute in a shrine in a Hindu temple whose heart is brimming with poisonous vengeance, hatred and jealousy towards society!! Think about how many such children would in a neighborhood and how many such temples in a village. Blinder brutes in parliament, cabinet and government remain spineless, speechless, terrified at the thought of touching that brute, for fear of antagonizing uncivilized Hindu fanatics. It is unbelievable that not one single M.P. or M.L.A. ever raised this issue in parliament or state assembly in the history of India, or the all-listening judiciary or executive initiated action on its own. Wherever we look, we see people associated with temples are ‘less-than-sub-normal’. It is impossible to see a single sane person connected with a temple. We can now understand why people abandoned this degenerating religion en mass and flocked to Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism in the past. It is just because people are tired of religions that Hinduism is not split and a new religion formed.

 
The child soon learns authorities strutting like peacocks in uniforms live in constant fear of criminal temple elements.
 

That hurt child soon learns that her father is not a strong and powerful person as she thought and that he or anyone else in India cannot do anything against temple loudspeakers. From family discussions in the house following her complaint, the child learns that District Collectors, Inspector Generals and Chief Ministers are also living in constant fear of temple committees. For the first time the child learns the words ‘spineless, impotents, rogues and fanatics’ and adds them to her vocabulary and tags them for future regular use. She learns that even if her father had made a written complaint to the District Collector or the Police Chief, the police would not have registered a case against a temple and he would have been beaten by temple committee goons and made a laughing stock of the village. With rising pulses, the child learns for the first time that those high in authority strutting like peacocks in uniforms are living in constant fear of criminal elements and will piss in their pants if priests, mullahs and vicars stared at them for too long. So the child looses its confidence in its father, government, cabinet, legislature, judiciary, religion, society and police at an unbelievably young age. Actually it is not her loosing confidence in any of these; she develops none. A brutal nation succeeded in making a vampire out of an angel. What if it was a boy?

 
Who created that unruly youth standing there with ruffled hair and a stone in his hand?
 

Years later we will see that child running through the streets in fiery demonstrations- stoning shops, malls and department stores and burning buses, trains and government buildings- and eventually emerging as a naxalite, anarchist or even as a terrorist. There stands our unruly youth with ruffled hair and with a stone in his hand, who emerged from the ashes of that cherubic and angelic child who closed his books years earlier due to a lusty priest in a temple turning on a loudspeaker and is now coming with a vengeance against all the leprous priests and impotent governments of his country! The government now accuses him of his Face Book page containing spitting venom and obscenities against Chief Minister and arrests him, and society finds him standing there trying to topple everything conventional, traditional and orthodox society stands for and brands him as an anti-social abomination, and family sheds him out as a pariah outcast. Everyone likes to forget and trembles to be reminded that this whole horror process began with that priest caressing his tape recorder like a whore and cowardly authorities declining to confiscate that instrument!

 
Influential dignitaries wielding unlimited power in government look like sneaky weasels in the eyes of their children.
 
03. Article Title 2 Image & Graphics Adobe SP.
 

If we rise up early and go for a walk in Trivandrum city, the Capital of Kerala, we see thousands of parents taking their children to tuition on scooters. Why they take even brilliant children to tuition is for escaping from temple loudspeakers- a fact known to every government official in Trivandrum including the Chief Minister, Police Chief and Chief Secretary. They are not ashamed even in their inner selves. Tuition centres farthest from temple loudspeakers are the choicest, and children and parents now have become skilled in identifying them. Of course these parents include police officers, political leaders and environmental scientists, and some of them may even be district collectors and government secretaries, but they know they are only nuts and bolts and screws in a totally impotent and incapable organization and cannot take initiative against temple mikes. Influential dignitaries wielding unlimited power in government and ruling Trivandrum like mighty monarchs look like timid, sly and sneaky weasels in the eyes of their own children. In the eyes of these children, there is no law, parliament, government or judiciary in this country, as regard to loudspeakers.

 
God-men will never tell loudspeakers, electric lights and fireworks were what went wrong with temples.
 

No one knows when and where loudspeakers were made part of temple rituals, or by whom. No one has an answer nor is it likely one will ever come up with one. A temple committee in the past must have asked some Gulf returnee to give something to their temple as a contribution. This illiterate rich snob must have decided it would be best to contribute a mike set to the temple. He must even have insisted his name should be printed close to Ahuja, AKG and Capitol! It must have been the beginning and this trend must have spread throughout Kerala. Hundreds of Hindu organizations which live out of temples never cared if it was right or wrong. Soon it came to that every temple should have a loud speaker. Every temple, even those under government control, regularly spends crores of rupees for conducting special poojas to detect what went wrong with a temple and what steps are to be taken in correction. God-men who conduct these poojas squeeze money from god for suggesting gold-covering a mast here, widening an entrance there or closing a gate on the back or relocating a deity to another position spending huge amounts of money but in the religious history of Kerala not one god-man has ever said new introductions like electric lights, loudspeakers and fireworks were what went wrong with god and to immediately get rid of these abominations. 

 
If time marches back in Hinduism, let it march with everything back.
 

Loudspeakers were an invention of the modern age which never ought to have been allowed anywhere near temples, churches or mosques. But which temple, church or mosque does not use loudspeakers to announce the shop is open and ready for business? Oil lamps were once the only lighting allowed inside temples but do we not see the opulence and splendor of electricity in and outside temples everywhere now, even inside shrines? People worshipping god were once instructed to sing vocally before the deity, taking their time, utilizing that time to cleanse their souls. Now rogues masquerading as devotees delegate this duty to tape recorders and c. d. players and memory sticks and utilize the liberated time for breast grabbing, and no one looks up texts to see what punishments are ordained for pseudo believers like them. No chapter or line in holy texts instruct that priests should travel in cars, scooters or air planes, but holy men travel only in them. When fanatics in India want their government to ban pork and beef and expel Muslims and Christians from the country, the beliefs of back centuries are looked up and pronounced as more right and correct and dependable than those of present times, forgetting the fact that crossing the ocean was as unpardonable and condemnable a sin as till recently in Gandhi’s times as for him to be cast out of religion for traveling to Bilati England, and conveniently forgetting the fact that their Hindu Prime Minister is crossing the ocean many times a week and spending too much time on foreign soil. If texts dating back centuries are quoted for banning beef and pork, texts must also be quoted for banishing loudspeakers, fireworks and electric lights from Hindu temples and their leaders traveling in cars and aero planes and crossing the ocean at will. If time marches back in Hinduism, let it march back with everything, without leaving behind selected pleasures for only leaders to enjoy. Let their leaders and saints and gurus abandon million dollar suites and coats and golden lace works and wear loin clothes made of wood veneer. But the fact is the clock of history cannot be turned back to a restoration point in a distant past like a restoration point is set in a computer: the progress mankind made in science and philosophy and humanities cannot be undone. Holy books do not say anything much about killings, blood baths, bigamy, matriarchy, patriarchy, gays, lesbians, adultery, pilferage, bribery, corruption, favouritism, despotism, autocracy, democracy, communism, communalism and socialism. It is man’s duty to interpret religion to accommodate modern facts, situations, and contexts.

If you are brimming with piety, go sit before your deity and sing to the fullest of your lungs’ capacity.
 

Religious texts do not permit artificial sounds in temples. The most ancient of religious observations, made by Plato in his Republic in the Sixth Century B.C., is that no man shall be permitted to make noises louder than what the containing capacity of his lungs and neck would allow. If you are brimming and overflowing with piety and religion, go sitting before your deity and sing to the fullest of your lungs- that is what religion permits utmost. All other sounds in temples are artificial- irreligion and an abuse of religion and a mockery of piety. Loud speakers were an abominable addition to temples by uncouth people as replacing those old oil lamps with kerosene lamps and electricity in the shrine were. People who are in that set of mind to use tape recorders and loud speakers in temples will even defecate in temples. Loud speakers are anti-temple, anti-human and anti-religion whether used for daily worship or for festivals. Kerala’s temples take it for granted that it is their privilege to use loudspeakers daily and during festivals liberally and illegally. It is sure this liberty will not continue. Someday soon the victims and the law will catch up. Once there were only dog lovers in Kerala, who reined the streets and coerced governments to ignore humans and pass laws for dogs, but following thousands of dog attacks on children and eating them, anti-dog literature multiplied in volume and spread and dog activists are now only a minority who live in constant fear of when people would react. Whether government likes it or not, it is sure temples also are going to be deprived of their much-disused loudspeaker privileges the same way.

 
Loudspeaker business goes across the border to Tamil Nadu operators.

04. Loudspeakers Adding To The Bedlam By A D Balasubramaniyan.
 

Every temple festival in Kerala is accompanied by hundreds of loudspeakers in spite of regulations. Anti-social elements in temple committees, considering themselves above the law and immune from police, instruct mike set operators to mount as many hundreds of horn-type loudspeakers as possible. Where an operator declines, the business goes across the border to Tamil Nadu operators and they mount not hundreds but thousands of horns fearing no one. The District Administratio stand watching like a scared scare crow. Every year we see this spectacle at famous religious festivals at Beema Palli, Vettukadu, Attukal, Nedumangad and Nanniyode Pacha in Trivandrum District- known law-breakers assembling as festival committees and challenging Police, District Administration, Government and Supreme Court. They break every rule- the height of speakers from ground, distance of horns from each other, number of horns used, mandated fitting of sound limiters, day-night operational time regulations, the decibel levels of sound- everything. In addition to temple premises, every small junction within a radius of five kilometers will also have loud-speakers-based commercial advertisements for several days; authorities will eagerly help by declaring vast square kilometers of local areas as festival area. With only one festival at one place, there will be multi mike orders issued for different places, each one a flout of Supreme Court Regulations. People ask if authorities and licensees have begun to retail mike orders!

Temples squander electricity and Kerala State Electricity Board looks the other way.

The diaphragm of horn-type loudspeakers, also known as funnel-type loudspeakers, does not oscillate and focuses sound rather than dispersing it, producing ten times more decibel of sound than other types of loudspeakers, making the sound appear more like a roar to listeners and make the horn-types more disturbing than the cone-types. Using horn-type loud speakers and high power box amplifiers, making noise above regulation levels, placing horns at excessive heights, electric-connecting loud speakers to domestic connections and even to public electric lines are all illegal, and temple committees do all of these. Not one Kerala State Electricity Board official has ever inspected and detected any of these, which is not strange. They are paid. Using electricity from 4 AM to 10 AM and from 4 PM to 10 PM for announcing the shop is open and business is on is purely commercial use and temples cannot do this on a 6A tariff but they do it. To the energy-providing KSEB, all customers must be equal and all energy laws must be applicable to all; there are not special concessions to political parties or religious establishments but they look away. Using loudspeakers in temples is also a tremendous waste of electricity, especially since Kerala is an energy-deficient state importing electricity from as distant places as Nepal. The KSE Board which issued stringent measures for energy conservation looks the other way when temples squander electricity. They simply fixed a tariff plan of something like 6A and allowed temples to waste electricity @ Rs. 5.5 up to 1000 units and @ Rs. 6.30 beyond that and escaped from the responsibility of disconnecting temples which squander electricity. They say it concerns belief. What belief?

Mike set operation is family business with respect for law; they break law only when organizers force.

Providing light and sound is a family business. No newcomers are in this field. Only those who like this technology behind light and sound would enter this field. The grandfather, father and son having been in this business, they would have developed a respect for law, a rapport with people and a decent behaviour to all. Only when organizers of events force them do they break laws. Everyone wants their sounds to be heard miles and miles away and reach the maximum number of people possible. Chief Ministers, State Legislators, Parliament Members and Political Leaders are no exemptions and they all rejoice in the use of the maximum number of loudspeakers at the highest volume. Without loudspeakers there is no public function and not one of these has ever declined to speak in a meeting where loudspeakers are used. So, organizers order the maximum number of loudspeakers with the highest volume and the mike set operators can do nothing but obey, with no opposition from police or district administration. After these ‘dignitaries’ leave, the noise levels multiply and reach crescendos. So, long after legislation and passing laws, banning of horns remains a myth, due to the country’s leading ‘dignitaries’. 

Comic action in the names of Noise Control Rule, Police Act and Indian Penal Code.

What startle a citizen are the ever-repeating press conferences by great governmental institutions and higher ranking government officers cheating people by regularly giving dire warnings against noise pollution and the use of loudspeakers and when people complain taking no action. They expend considerable amounts for holding conferences, passing laws and issuing orders. Trivandrum District Collector & Additional Divisional Magistrate Mr. Biju Prabhakar I.A.S. on 1 September 2014 warned public that stringent action without warning would be taken against those found to be violating norms regarding loudspeaker use. He said: ‘Violators of loudspeaker rules will face the music. The microphone set will be confiscated and a case will be registered against the loudspeaker operator. This directive comes in the wake of several complaints that loudspeakers were left on even beyond stipulated time frame. Violations were reported even after repeated warnings circulated through the press. Those punishable include the individual or group in whose name the loudspeaker license was issued, the operator, the respective event organizer, and, if the erring loudspeaker set was found mounted on a vehicle, the driver as well. Legal action would be taken on the grounds of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, Kerala Police Act, and the Indian Penal Code 268, 290, and 291. The operator found violating the rules would not be issued a license to work in the district thereafter. Loudspeakers must not be set up within 100 meters of the vicinity of hospitals, educational institutions, court complexes, public offices, and the zoo. Loudspeakers could be used after 10 p.m. only if it is set up inside a closed auditorium or conference hall. [News reported by The Hindu on 1 Sept 2014].

No loudspeakers were confiscated, no operators, organizers and drivers arrested, and no fines slapped.

In the same month of September 2014, the Trivandrum District Administration, Trivandrum City Police, City Corporation, Indian Medical Association and Kerala’s ENT Doctors’ Association joined hands and in the presence of the Kerala Chief Minister announced to people that they have taken steps for ensuring a noise-free city with the IMA supplying sound-level testing devices to the police. As usual, this venture also had great names, banners and logos like the National Initiative for Safe Sound Programme (NISSP!). Like hens announcing they are developing breasts soon, it also came to nothing. The next year, i.e. in 2016, following an overflow of students’ complaints about sound pollution from temples affecting their studies, the district administration, still headed by Mr. Biju Prabhakar I.A.S., opened a control room for people for directly filing complaints against sound pollution, and informed that violators of norms would be slapped a fine of Rs. 10,000 with seizure of equipments. After convening a meeting of religious leaders and restricting the use of loudspeakers in hospital and school areas, he said complaints could be anonymous and even zoo authorities had made complaints. [News reported by the Times of India on March 2, 2015]. This year also nothing came out of these steps, and temple authorities continued their way. No loudspeakers were ever confiscated and no operators, organizers or drivers booked. No fines were slapped. If there ever was an inspection to measure the decibel level of sounds anywhere, temple authorities promptly lowered their volume of sound for the charade of inspection and the inspection team returned to office contented. Wisely, these ‘geniuses’ in government did not equip the inspection squads with inerasable mobile phone cameras to ensure if there was a click, there was also a prosecution. In 2018 also, as usual, the District Collector (now it was a lady) met the press giving out dire warnings against loudspeakers. (Reported on 14 February 2018 by media). She said this warning was made ‘in the light of the approaching temple festivals season from February to May’. She also warned that ‘mike operators who create sound pollution will be booked’. Mike operators create noise only occasionally but temple authorities do it everyday. She was very careful to say nothing about temples, mosques and churches which use loudspeakers everyday even without a license. Climbing on the backs of mike operators is interesting and easy but climbing on the backs of priests, mullahs and reverend holy fathers is dangerous and will throw her out of her chair in the Collectorate! 

Charade of loudspeaker control in the capital of Kerala, Trivandrum, every year.

Why is this charade of issuing ‘dire warnings’ against loudspeakers each year through media but looking away when complaints pour in going on in the District Collectorate of Trivandrum? What was the end result of the District Collector’s intervention in sound pollution each year? Their warnings and proceedings were supposed to be legal, final and binding, but in effect they orally excluded temples, churches, mosques, political parties, cultural organizations and governmental functions from the purview of their actions. After excluding all these principal culprits, who were remaining there to be prosecuted? So, it has to be assumed that the involvement of these District Collectors and their warnings were part of an inter-state ploy to retrench local mike set operators and facilitate the takeover of this operation by spirit transporters from other states. After these dire warnings, the frightened mike set operators in Trivandrum Rural and Trivandrum City declined to hoist as many loudspeakers as the temple committees wanted to. So they lost this business and business went across the border to mega mike set operators from Tamil Nadu. Dozens of their Lorries piled high and overflowing with loudspeakers and amplifiers and generators above and alcoholic spirit below crossed the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border each day. Both the things, above and below, were highly profitable during festival seasons. Without fearing police, with bribed politicians’ help, they erected thousands and thousands of loudspeakers at temple, mosque and church festivals in Attukal, Beemappalli, Vettukad, Pacha-Palode, Nedumangad and quite a number of other places each year. And the spirits brought in more profit than those mikes. Illicit spirit traffic was primary and mike set operation only secondary in this operation. District Collectors stood mute and did nothing. Through their unripe and unlearnèd actions they were facilitating the smooth and uninterrupted flow of illicit spirit across the border: they were just pawns in the hands of interested and bribed politicians. This was, and is, the situation in all districts of Kerala. Everyone barks but none touches the temple tiger. Mike permissions are granted for two or three consecutive days only, for specifically mentioned functions; they are not granted for year-round loudspeaker use. Every temple which operates loudspeakers does so without a license; temple authorities do not go to police station every three days for obtaining mike permissions. So, every police officer, district collector and government secretary who sees a temple using loudspeakers perfectly well knows that they are using them illegally, at the expense and criminal negligence of at least one official in authority. 

Too many court orders ending up in too many loudspeakers.

It has been 13 years since the Supreme Court of India’s judgment on 18 July 2005 on the control of noise pollution. There has been enough time for all to know about this judgment. This judgment clearly states cone-type loudspeakers are never to be used, the sound is to be kept below the prescribed decibel level, and cases will be registered and equipment seized wherever there are incidents of deviation. The judgment observed that the existing law empowers District Administrations and Police to enforce noise control measures. When two Delhi residents filed a public interest petition in Delhi High Court requesting the court’s direction to government to immediately remove unlicensed loudspeakers used in various shrines, mosques and temples in the city which were operating at very loud volumes early in the morning and continuing till late at night, the High Court dismissed the petition, saying that ‘Delhi Police has issued various directions and orders and that the police are not relieved of the responsibility to deal with the misuse of loudspeakers as per law’. Giving warning to religious institutions and political parties continuing using corn-type loudspeakers, the Madras High Court further commented that ‘it appears that these institutions of worship of different faiths perceive that the blessings of God cannot be obtained unless there is a loud noise; cut that noise out, God listens to even silent prayers’ and ordered Tamil Nadu Police to immediately inspect all the 44 places photographically identified by the petitioner specifically where horn-type speakers were being used and prescribed decibel level crossed. The Madras High Court Bench of Chief Justice S.K. Kaul and Justice M. M. Sundresh again in March 2016 observed that ‘Prayers in all religions had been going on from ancient time even when electricity did not exist; religious institutions have a wrong notion that the blessings of God cannot be obtained unless there is loud noise of religious songs through cone and other banned types of speakers.’ There have also been numerous warnings, orders and observations by High Courts in the other states. Even after all these judicial pronouncements, the Shankaracharyas of India, on the religious side, who supposedly go through every ancient text and interpret their relevance or irrelevance in modern day contexts, did not utter even a word on the use of loudspeakers in temples. The oldest and the biggest Hindu organization in India- the Rashtriy Swayam Sevak Samgh or R. S. S.-, on the political side, has yet to denounce the use of loudspeakers in temples. Anyway, they have already condemned the abusive use of elephants in temple processions and the uncontrolled display of fireworks in festivals, which is a good step forward. Coming from the largest Hindu organization in India, it could be taken as a warning to Hindu temple committees. They may, and are expected to, warn against the use of loudspeakers in temples too.

How can those who disobey simpler and easier laws of land obey higher and complex laws of God?

But authorities in even some of the most famous temples in India pretend there is not any Supreme Court in India or there are any laws banning the use of loudspeakers in India. A Parthasarathy Temple official in Triplicane, Tamilnadu told press, ‘nobody has ever complained to the temple authorities regarding high volume of noise!’ (Reported by News Today Net vide http://newstodaynet.com/chennai/shhhno-horn-type-loudspeakers-please). Religious authorities never like to bow to restrictions on the use of loudspeakers and they challenge the law wherever possible; on more occasions than one can remember have they displayed contempt for Indian laws. They feel ‘their right to do business is infringed upon.’ Yes, it is their business, and not piety or religion. But how can a bunch of people who disobey the easier and simpler laws of the land obey the higher and complex laws of the Almighty?
