Let belief be belief, customs be customes
by Joseph Mapra on Jul 05, 2006 06:10 PM

It appears that Jayamala has totally missed the pot for the pan.



No Entry to women at the Shabarimala Sanctum Sanctorum is a tradition, a custom, and has nothing to do with one's beliefs.



If Jayamala is a true worshipper of Lord Ayyappan, she would have never visited the Shrine, but offered her prayers to the Lord from elsewhere - her home, her workplace, from the street.



I do not believe her claims. Still, if at all she entered the shrine it definitely means she has no belief in the Lord. She was there just as a tourist or just as a companion to her husband.



What happens if Lord Shiva's wrath falls upon the lady, manifested in the form of the circumstances leading to the birth of Lord Ayyappan?



Woman you dont believe in Lord Ayyappan. Hence your touching or not touching the holy feet is inconsequent.
