No actual devotee of Ayappa is supporting these christians, Muslims and Athiests.

Infact the petition was filed by a muslim man.

What about the Hindu god of speed? The one who was even faster than Barry Allen, The Flash.

 

[Soumitra]

These "devotees" have the right to go to the temple. The temple has a right to shut its door.

There is no law or SC order which says that the temple has to remain open.

The priests should just lock the temple and give the keys to the trust. Let them do what they want.

There is no hindu god of speed. Dont believe what the comics tell you.

just let them in whats the big deal

Are they genuine devotees of Ayappa or do they think this is just a picnic spot?

Did they complete 41 days penance and fasting?

BTW if genuine devotees of Ayappa were interested in the pilgrimage then
1 They would have filed the case in the SC
2 There would be hundreds, if not thousands of women making their way to the shrine

you don't need to be a genuine devotee to gain entry in a temple who r u fooling here.

So you think it is a picnic spot. Good to know.

I have gone to many churches and mosques. I dont worship them but still I respect them.

Do these women actually respect Ayappa or are they going only for 15 minutes of fame and activism?

Learn to move with the times. What sort of rubbish is this? 300 years these are the same kind of people who would oppose the abolition of Sati.

Let God decide if the devotee is genuine or not - Man has no right to forbid another human from entering the temple.

Just a simple question - are athiests, chirstians and muslim genuine devotees or 15 minutes of fame seekers?

India is 80% Hindus. why aren't hundreds or thousands of women making the trek?

Or do you consider the temple as a picnic spot?

I am aking you and @SirHatesALot logical questions. Give me logical answers no rhetoric

What's your position on this? Barring the obvious trouble seekers who're just trying to make a statement by entering the temple, do you think women should be allowed or even want to go there?
Personally, from the response of women themselves, I think it's clear that no devotee feels like their rights are violated by not letting women in.

a. If you didn't make a big deal of it, they would not get famous.

b. Who are you to judge whether they are devotees or devil worshippers? Freedom of movement is guaranteed in the Indian Constitution. You can't stop people from entering where they feel like.

My position is is that if a genuine women devotee (not 15 minute fame seekers) wants to enter they can after the SC order. But the point is whether a genuine women devotee will want to enter or not.

 

[SirHatesALot]

There is no such thing as genuine devotee

 

[Soumitra]

b. Who are you to judge whether they are devotees or devil worshippers?

I already aid that I think that they are 15 minute fame seekers. Whether they worship the devil or not is not my concern.

I asked what is YOUR position? do you consider them genuine devotees?

Freedom of movement is guaranteed in the Indian Constitution. You can't stop people from entering where they feel like.

Actually you can. Every freedom has reasonable restrictions. You cant enter restricted places like army bases. And for some regions in North East you can enter only after getting special permission.

I am NOT saying that sabrimala is an army base or special region but it is also NOT a picnic spot. You go there for worship not for 15 minutes of fame.

I ask again What is YOUR position?

 

[LeGenD]

Religious beliefs should be respected.
