I love God in any form, and I have the greatest of respect for Gods of every religion.But all this about 'inauspicious' activities in the Sabrimala temple and for which special puja etc is being done, and that the lady in question decided to speak about it at the same time is nothing but a Stage managed cliche to promote the falling fortunes of Sabrimala, and to again promote astrological heretics.I infact doubt that the lady went to the sanctum sanctorium. Not that it matters to me, but being a Hindu by birth I just become confused with so many different views of life and religion.

Hello which Kerala are u from? I am 33. So when I was a child women should have been going around in Kerala topless!!! My mother is 72 years old and she used to weare a blouse from her young age. Even her mother used to wear one. So this is total bogus information. You have to go back much more years when women were not used to wearing blouse in Kerala
Then according to ur info are women below 10 and above 50 going bare chested to the shrine? Come on man, talk some sense.
Imagine u are in a place were there is no food. Then u can't say u are fasting. It becomes real fasting when there is food available, u know it is available and still resist the temptation to eat. Similarly, to be a real Brahmachari, u should see women & resist the temptations of flesh. There is no greatness in being a brahmachari without seeing any women. If normal human beings have achieved it living among women, then u are implying that ayyapa is weaker than humans and thus degrading him.
If we always kept traditions we would have been still following sathi and untouchable traditions. Traditions had a meaning when it was formed, when it is not applicable in current era, they should be changed.
