Priya Sriman Aravind Raman!
Jai Srimannarayana!
You have asked about the Hari Hara Putra Concept and
its authoritativeness.

To be frank in this issue, there is no right evidence
in any of the 18 Pura:na:s or in Ithiha:sa, like Sri
Ra:ma:yana or Srimad Maha:bha:ratha. Even they people
are not trying to show any authority from this vedic
literature. They only say that the Kshe:thra
Ma:ha:tmayam, the history of the place, says so. That
is what we have to respect.
The story they mention is a place in Srimath
Bha:gavatham, but in a different way. When Mo:himi
incornation was taken by The Lord Vishnu, Lord Siva
was not present there. Lord Siva heard about the
cherismatic beauty of Mo:himi, approached Lord Vishnu
and asked Him to show that form again to Him. Lord
said that it would be so unbearable to Siva to control
himself. Lord Siva said that he would have no problem
in controlling himself and wanted to see that at any
cost.
While this discussion was going on Lord Siva heard
some sound of ankle-bells of a Lady, who was moving
nearby. Even without taking permission from Vishnu,
Siva left the place in search of that Lady and started
running after her. She moved so many places here and
there and finally, when Siva thought that he got her,
just she disappeared and He lost control over his
senses then and there was Skalanam(semen dropped).
Where ever His Vi:ryam dropped, it turned to Silver.
That is the reason, Silver is also called as
"roudram". There was no mention at all about any boy
born during that time. There was no intercourse like
act between Sive & Vishnu even mentally.
So, birth of Ayyappa itself is at question, at first
instance.
In addition to this, none of our fore-fathers know
anything about this boy. There is a small
sannidhi(temple) in each Vishnu temple in Kerala,
called as Sa:stha temple, who is supposed to be the
kshe:tra Pa:laka for those places. That sa:stha was
not this Ayyappa. So, authoritarians have to think
and say something about this god.
Keeping all this aside, what we need to appreciate is,
that so many youngsters are accepting this, to get
into devotion. That part is unquestionable and
everybody should appreciate.
