All Tom tick and Harry speaks about Sabarimala! Everyone should understand, in Hindu religion there are several rituals based on the local custom. Forget women entering the Sabarimala, Even every male should follow many restriction like, avoiding non veg, drink, smoke, sex, haircut, footwears for 48 days. One has to sleep in empty floor and not on bed. They should wear color dhothies and not pant shirt. Whoever follows these rule can enter sabarimala.The Lord Iyyappa is Brahmachary, hence even devotees are advocated to avoid sex during the 48 days. I wonder without knowing anything every body talks about freedom for women. In Hindu religion, there is Krishna with many beautiful girls. Iyyappan as Branhamachary, some deity with two wives. Some people are trying to convert Hindu religion into conditioned religion like one rule, one deity & one book! In many Tamilnadu villages, the women are priest in Mariamman temple. why all these people are making so much noise?If anybody want to follow the rules are Sabarimala let them visit, otherwise they can go to other temples which is convenient to them. many devotees are not folowing customs properly & that is the reason for this controvery!
