Recently there has been a recommendation by Malabar Devaswom Commission to completely take over more than 1000 private temples of Malabar region, including the temples under the Zamorin Raja, former kings of the Calicut kingdom. The Commission will give the report to Kerala Government soon and the Government plans to implement the Commission report as soon as possible. The royal family of Zamorin is moving court against this move.
There are over 60+ temples under control of the Zamorin’s Devaswom today, including Thirunavaya Nava Mukunda temple. Apart from this there are almost 1000 other temples under private trusts in Malabar region. Although all of these temples are already under Malabar Devaswom board for namesake, they are run by private trusts and Devaswoms. The current move is to completely bring the control of these temples under the Malabar Devaswom board.
Malabar Devaswom board will then become similar to the functioning of Cochin and Travancore Devaswom boards. Adv. Gopalakrishnan, who was instructed by the Kerala govt to make rules and regulations for the Malabar Devaswom board which for now only holds namesake authority over the temples of Malabar, was the one who gave the report regarding this. Some of the important recommendations made are – moving all economical matters of all temples into one account, giving same amounts to every temple, bringing employment related decisions directly under the control of Malabar Devaswom etc.

It seems that the Communist Government of Kerala is moving full-speed ahead with its agenda of eroding Hindu religious institutions in the state. Apart from the above case of Govt. controlled Malabar Devaswom Board taking over 1000 private temples, here are some other instances which showcase the anti-Hindu nature of CPM –
- CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s statement that the Sabarimala temple must be opened throughout the year in order to overcome the financial difficulties of Kerala government, shows how temples are just a means of generating revenue for the CPM Government, not institutions serving spiritual needs of Hindus.
- In Nov 2016, CPM-led LDF Govt. junked its Congress predecessor’s stand on the Sabarimala temple entry issue and went against its own Travancore Devaswom Board which manages the famed temple, by favoring the entry of women of all ages in the temple. With this CPM positioned itself directly against millions of Hindus who devoutly believe that since Sabarimala temple is dedicated to Sri Ayyappa in the Naishtika Brahmachari phase of life (a student who is undergoing his brahmacharya vrata), hence women between the ages of 10-50 are restricted. CPM’s blatant anti-Hindu stance on this issue has also galvanized ordinary Hindus to form a society called ‘People For Dharma‘ which has joined the ongoing PIL in Supreme Court.
- Kadakampally Surendran, the Devaswom minister who is in control of most Kerala temples, recently inaugurated a beef festival organized by CPM’s student wing SFI.
- Following the Supreme Court’s order on the appointment of a Government Executive Officer (EO) at the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple, there have been reports of thefts and mismanagement in the temple.
- Even before coming to power, the Communist party aided the Mar Sleeva Puram project by the Vatican members in Kerala which tried to change the Hindu face of Thiruvananthapuram.
- The state has witnessed a number of murders of Hindu activists and attempts to desecrate Hindu temples and traditions.

I strongly condemn & criticize this move & action by the irresponsible, immature, cruel, wicked, insensitive, insensible, immoral & irreligious CPM led Govt., which is aimed towards clear & direct attack on Hindu religion, Hindu beliefs, Hindu temples, Hindu faith, Hindu culture, Hindu customs & traditions, which CANNOT be tolerated at any cost. It is also clear that all state Govts. want to take control & management of Hindu temples only with a view to misuse & loot temple funds for personal gains or for other religions other than Hindu religions in the garb of safeguarding & protecting Hindu temples, Hindu religion, Hindu customs & traditions, Hindu culture, Hindu faith & beliefs, which CANNOT be tolerated at any cost. Hence, I urge the Central Govt. to immediately restrict & reverse the order of State Govts. in taking over the control & management of Hindu temples all over India. I also request the Central Govt. to immediately arrest & punish corrupt politicians & miscreants like Pinarayi Vijayan & Kadakampally Surendran, who are a menace to a peaceful society. I also urge the Central Govt. to immediately investigate, identify, arrest & punish all the miscreants with death who are responsible for not only murder of Hindu activists all over India including Kerala State but also for descreating Hindu temples ; attack on Hindu religion; eroding Hindu customs & traditions ; violating the rules & regulations of Hindu temples ; attack on Hibus & Hinduism; promotion of other religions through suppression of Hindu religion; looting of funds Hindu temples & diversion of such funds for other religions without bothering about Hindu temples or religion ; misuse & loot of funds of Hindu temples for irreligious, criminal, anti-Hindu, antisocial & anti-nation activities all over India, NOW.
