It is good that his issue is being discussed hullaballoo as it would provide some opportunity bring ot certain important facts about the matter at issue. Women are te most revered among god's creation as the creator itself/ HIMSELF has given birth to te entire universe from its/ HIS womb(vide.Gita).lord Ayyappa himself is said tobe born of a woman only. for tis vwery purpose Vishnu himself has assumed the form of a woman.It isfor te sake of woan , that te Lord went up the hill into the forest to fetch tigers for milking.no body can cite an authority from the Vedas or Agamas to prohibit woman from etering any temple or performing any pooja or worshipping the God. Even it wouldbe unconstitutional to deny entry to any woman into any public temple , even if there as been a rule approved by any government hadbeen in place for any number of years.OK,then why this controvercy? there is reason. Woman are not really barred from entry in to the temple . Onlyfemales in the age group of 10- 50 are barred. Why? Do te agamas prescribe it? No . But then is it right . IT IS RIGHT because of HYGEIN AND PUBLIC HEALTH.The ban has no religious sanction.But it has scientific reason.(continued)
