Sabarimala issue
by Saritha on Jul 05, 2006 10:29 PM   Permalink

God inded has no discrimination between man and woman.But in case of this Aiyyappa temple,there is a different story behind it and the lord is a celibate and hence,only young women are not allowed there.Girls and post menopausal ladies are allowed So,where does dicrimination come to exist?It is just a ritual in the honour of the unwed lord.Like a lot of rituals honouring ladies and we are proud of,there are a few other rituals where sometimes we have to understand the philosophy behind rituals and take a back seat.I think we should first understand the wisdom behind Hindu philosophy than acting modern by highlighting the so called pro women cliche' unnecessarily and out of place.
