< The process of training was in itself discriminatory, Ranganathan said. “We need to be trained in two procedures – to perform rituals in the Tamil way and in the Agama way [using Sanskrit slokas and mantras]. It was easy for us to learn the Tamil way of doing things. When it came to Agama way, the Brahmins opposed it tooth and nail, and would threaten anyone who came forward to teach us the Agamas. A 90-year-old man who came forward heeding to our requests was beaten up. In fact, the association of priests had passed a resolution against teaching us.” >
