Purohits/Priests have become a law unto themselves. Once considered poorest of the poors - street barber, carpenter, masons, tailors, elementary school teachers and so on. Today, there is an upside-down change. Purohits and shastris are also enjoying the change. What can be done. " திருடராய் பார்த்து திருந்தாவிட்டால் திருட்டை ஒழிக்க முடியாது".... Just knowing a few mantras, the community bloats with sizable number of VRS lots who apply company law here. But the religious heads can dictate to the category. Above all it is time we have a minimum standard of living parameters. Like one must have a decent house with all amenities and provision for (only) children's education, a proper health plan and retirement plan. Fix karthas-purohit ratio. This category should compulsorily be sent to listen to "pravachans" of the learned except for the fag end of such discourses when it will be only about collection of money.
