So, she created all troubles for Ayyappa.
We are also devotees of Ayyappa.
Those who believe in Ayyappa tatwam will never violate the system and convention.
These people worshiped Ayyappa and together they decided to build a temple for them.
Once the temple and the 18 steps were consecrated, Ayyappa himself sat and immersed in yoga.
The Ayyappa temple, located here amidst 18 hills,
is a picturesque sight no traveller would want to miss.
People associated with the temple and followers of Swami Ayyappa are telling this decision against their faith.
After the birth of Ayyappa, Shiva and Mohini abandoned the child on the banks of the Pampa River.
However, after this decision, a woman of‘restricted' age was unable to visit Ayyappa in the temple so far.
Though both the boys grew up as princes, Ayyappa excelled in martial arts and
was very knowledgeable in all Shastras.
To many millions of devotees of Ayyappa too, it will be a day of immense pain and anger,
as has been the last several weeks.
It was recently mentioned by Trupti
Desai that she would be visiting the Lord Ayyappa temple next month with 100 odd activists and there was no change in her plans.
Even today,
traditional devotees know that the sacred spot where Ayyappa appeared as an infant is not the Pamba we see-
but the river banks at Periyaanavattam which is a part of the long route.
If the state fails to protect the interests- in this case,
the religious liberty of Ayyappa devotees, it will manifest in popular discontent
and violations of law and a disruption in public order as we have seen over the past few weeks in Kerala.
