Beyond the Veil - The #Ayyappan Sankalpa — A Long Thread ! 
The #SabarimalaTemple is many centuries-old and hosts an ancient deity, Sastha — #Ayyappan the main Vigraha (idol) of the temple, the deity is worshipped in the form of a Naishtika Brahmachari
This temple is not a prayer hall but is an energy centre; the Vigraha of #Ayyappan is not the representation of a God who is omnipresent, but as a source of energy (Chaithanya) from a mystical dimension.
Jai Gurudev
Today I will try to explain to the best of my knowledge the conspiracy behind #Sabarimala. Before going into conspiracy some baics of Hindu religion, the importance of Deity, rules to follow.

I was in Kerala last three days. Absolutely amazed & emotional about the groundswell of determination among hindus.
Across parties/ ideologies, #Sabarimala has united us. SM, WA lit up with people discussing article 25, rights of deity, temple as public property etc.

People suddenly hyper aware of apocalyptic changes being thrust upon us, have forgotten our differences.
Randomn people coming up to me and discussing #ReadyToWait almost made me weep.
Swamy Ayyappan blessing us ordinary lesser mortals with near-cosmic experiences!

Its brilliant to watch as people fully grasp wider implications of two core issues that will emerge from #sabarimalahearing if verdict is FOR entry.
1. Temple becomes a public institution without religious denomination
2. The deity's status as juristic person revoked.

The goal of adhyatma is for a person to realize that he is but a slave of the lord who is driving every single action in this body. Jiva has zero independence or power. Paramatma residing inside us does everything /1
Thus every single action we perform - eating, sleeping, bathing, etc - is all to be offered to the paramatma inside us - that's when true detachment occurs - and ahankara ends. However, reaching this stage is no trivial task /2
#Sabarimala: V Giri concludes, Sai Deepak J begins.
#Sabarimala: Rights under Article 25 is subject to Article 26.
Deity has rights under Article 21, 25(1) and 26 (b), J Sai Deepak.
Deity has rights under Article 21, 25(1) and 26 (b), J Sai Deepak.

#Sabarimala: Bench assembles, hearing commences; Sr. K Radhakrishnan begins arguments.

1. Arguments in the #Sabarimala Petition resume. Mr. Parasaran now argues for the Nair Service Society.
2. Mr. Parasaran submits that Kerala is an educated society
3. Mr. Parasaran submits that 96% of the women in Kerala are educated. They are independent. It is a matrilineal society. Therefore to assume that the practice of the #Sabarimala Temple is based on patriarchy is fundamentally incorrect
#Sabarimala: Bench assembles, hearing commences. Sr. Adv. K Parasaran begins submissions for Nair Service Society.
#Sabarimala: K Parasaran on Kerala society; Most women in Kerala educated, Kerala had communities which were matriarchal.
#Sabarimala: Hindu religion is a very tolerant religion, K Parasaran.
All Debates on #Sabarimala hosted by news channels are by very conception and format are biased, prejudiced and place Hindus at a disadvantage. They use Rights, Equality, and all such heavy sound narratives to shut tradition.
These narratives are by definition prejudiced since, they are rooted in Eurocentrism and Abrahamism and have no meaning or relevance in Hinduism. #Sabarimala
Notion of equality has no relevance especially in Hindu pursuit of religious &spiritual emancipation. Our Hindu worldview is rooted in concept of Svabhava & Adhikara. Moksha is ultimate goal for each person, but the path is never same. Path depends on Temperament and Competency.
I will be visiting #Sabarimala for the 18th time this September.I travel with 12 others & there isn’t one woman amongst all our extended families who wouldn’t endorse #ReadyToWait They deeply respect the tradition & don’t need libs to poke thier nose

After much self debate I am sharing this story...

#Sabarimala
After relentless forcing by me he agreed but told me to make sure no mensurating female disciple participates in it..I understood & personally passed the message to all..
At midnight My guru started the Fire Yagya as he made d men & women sit around the kund & started d chants..
At midnight My guru started the Fire Yagya as he made d men & women sit around the kund & started d chants..
5 mnts into the yagya he SHOUTED the names of 3 girls who were mensurating & asked them to leave immediately. I was stunned how did he know?
They had defied his orders& I knew I will have to bear d wrath!
I immediately got up and apologized as I had failed in my duties!

#Sabarimalahearing 1. Mr. Raju Ramachandran has resumed his submissions as the Amicus Curiae in support of the Petitioner
2. Mr. Ramachandran submits that while Article 17 was originally intended to tackle untouchability emanating from caste, nothing stops the Court from expansively interpreting it just as Article 21 has been interpreted over the years. #Sabarimala
3. Mr Ramachandran submits that if the basis for exclusion under traditional untouchability is defilement or pollution of the premises, the same logic applies to untouchability on account of defilement caused by menarche. #Sabarimala
A what-if scenario:
Court opens #Sabarimala to women capable of child bearing. Activists will engineer a 'violent act where enraged devotees attack a woman'.
I fear that this is where we'll end up. Beefed up security, all sorts of impositions on devotees, even a closure.

The larger ramifications for worshipping a Tantric deity is just unthinkable.
It will be a sad day for Hinduism if the verdict ends in opening up of the temple against the Agamic rules.

Today's #Sabarimala hearing and why the debate in Supreme Court today on Articles 17, 25 and 26 might be have been watershed. #Thread. barandbench.com/entry-women-sa…
The first half of the hearing today was rather subdued but it really came to life in the second half when Sr. Adv. @IJaising commenced her submissions.
The Bench which up until then was quiet, suddenly came to life, thanks to Jaising’s submissions on the ban on women being hit by the abolition of untouchability under Article 17.
I've been to a few temples in my time but #Sabarimala is the only place where I've experienced this overused line that all men are equal.
Sixteen times I've undertaken the pilgrimage and that's the one place I've experienced contentment as I commenced the journey back. There are temples I loved, temples I've felt energised in, temples that are calming, but contentment? Just one. #Sabarimala
Indistinguishable in the uniformity of their attires, with faces barely hiding the worries of life, every pilgrim who makes the climb does so with but one line on their lips, that of Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa, and one thought only, of getting to see the Lord. #Sabarimala
