Women human beings
by Ghanahsham on Jul 05, 2006 03:34 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hi,

These are very old traditions. But we have to change with the time. Hinduism is very flexible. But some people unnecessarily creating few barriers. Because of this our religion is loosing the faith. We should be more open minded, and proove that our religion doesn't have barriers for all the human beings despite of sex, cast or religion.

Before sermosing,understand the traditions and

beliefs of lakhs of devotees,this is not just another

temple,you have observed so many rules and regulations and you have to climb barefoot for atleast

2to 3 hours to reach temple,there are no special

darshans where you can buy tickets and have darshan

of the lord.



People who reside in the northern parts of India,should have basic knowledge of culture and traditions of South India,otherwise they should keep

quiet.

Yes, they are human beings and that is why their entry is prohibited in Sabarimala where the deovtees have to enter with bare chest. There is no gender bias as women before the age of 10 and after the age of 50 can enter the temple. For your information, 30-40 years back, old women in Kerala never used to wear blouses. Now you must understand why they are prohibited.
