Its famously known for the Ayyappa temple atop it .
Crores of devotees throng to it from all parts of world during its two seasons and every month beggining for 5 days (malayalam month ).
Legend describes Lord Ayyappa as creation of Shiva Vishnu ..Hari hara putran .
The sthala purana calls him an eternal bachelor naisthika bramachari .
Every idol in a Hindu temple has its regulations and its based on traditions passed over generations and accepted by devotees ..
Some temples did have harmful practices but most these days are obsolete .
Sabarimala temple definitely cannot be included in this list .
Women between menarche and below 50 are prohibited from temple entry
It is related to the bachelorhood status of the lord .
That doesnt mean that the Lord is affected by the women in group suggested .
Tatwamasi which means YOU ARE THAT in accordance to advaitic teachings says you are part of God .
Which is why all Ayyappa devotees are called Swami or Ayyappa himself .
There is no distinction of caste color creed and religion in its entry
There is only age restriction for women
And genuine women devotees do not mind
The devotee is needed to maintain strictly vegetarian fare,have baths morning and evening and go to temples .
The vradda or wow is for 41 days but nowadays its shortened by many .
The controversial Supreme court ruling to allow women of all ages shud be allowed to enter the temple based on a file suited with an agenda .
Most polticians and NGO s who supported it knew no ethos of its history or were not intrested .
The ruling was misused by a vengeful State Govt by harassing devotees denying them rest during the climb in order to defame the temple .
The Govt sponsored Dewaswoms known for ill efficiency systematically squeeze the devotees.
Women below 50 and children above menarche understand the rules and wait for thier turn
Whereas the courts and media intimidate them .
And the CM and his coterie behave like the Nazis did to Jews .
Even now the harassement continues like devotees arent allowed to park in Pamba nearer to shrine but in Nilackal and take a paid KSRTC shuttle rest of way
They are forced to return from top ASAP as if they are terrorists who will cause havoc
This still happens though no one mentions them
Will this dirty gang try it with minorities
In any situation ?
And the useless courts of this country behave like deaf adders .
Disgusting
Harimohan
At least young women were given rest from stressful journey. what can be achieved by breaking the rules of the temple?, diverting the society from useful work. Any logic will know a young women is capable better than a 50yrs old
