comment for Vijayadasami and Sivarathri are Christian Celebrations , Imitated by Hindus!

Vidhyarambham
 
I am a christian but a regular reader of Haindava Keralam. I approach all the articles with an open mind. I don’t know whether you would publish my comment but just want to let you know the above article re Vijayadasami is 101% fabricated as there is no St Baselius church at Kottayam under Kottayam Archdiocese nor Fr.Varghese Koomanthala. Picture would be genuine as many christians would do vidhyarambham for their kids by bishops. So just a humble request to HK, please ensure the validity of these kind of articles/news before you publish.

Also,I don’t think, no one christian who knows the culture of our country would say Hindus adapted this from them. We can see christians adapted a lot from her culture. A simple example is use of ‘thali’ for wedding. Nowhere in any christian countries this custom prevails. And all christians living abroad even in such western countries are immensely proud of our culture and customs.
