man made bias in the name of god

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

the recent sabarimala controversy due to jayamala's confession to an

astrologer made public, has made the media busy with portraying such

rules as gender bias.

 

no god ever tells that only one religion people shall come to me.

earlier in india in the same religion also lower castes were not

allowed to visit temples. now in the same religion females are not

allowed. in another temple in the south, foreigners are not allowed

even to have a darshan at a distance and all they can watch is the

temple from outside. truly these things are spoiling the reputation

of the great vedic culture and this holy land which has been

treating all humans equally .

 

most famous holy places are situated in the north, be it ayodhya,

mathura, kashi or many jyotirlingas and shakti peethas and in all

these places, all humans (including females) are allowed inside the

sanctum sanctorum and can offer poojas by touching the dieties.

unfortunately in south india, there are too many bias on too many

counts. if you wish to have a free darshan of the diety, you would

watch the diety at a distance of 100 feet. if you pay rs.100 you

would watch the diety at a lesser distance of 50 feet. if you pay

rs.500 you would watch the diety clost to the diety at just 10

feet. you pay more than rs.1000 you can go inside the sanctum

sanctorum and sit in front of the god. nowhere in any of the most

famous temples (ayodhya, mathura or kasi) not even one rupee is

charged and all rich and poor will have same close darshan alike

without any bias.

 

seems like none of the south indian temple managers have learnt any

lesson from the adi sankaracharya (south indian) who found shiva in

a chandal in kashi and what he preached to his followers in the

south has been falling on deaf ears.

 

it is high time people realise the gender bias, caste bias, money

bias and allow all humans to reach the god, FOR THE SAME GOD DWELLS

IN ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

 

the reason for my writing this in this group is because all

astrologers advocate worshipping of certain deities or visit certain

temple to all humans equally without any bias of caste, religion or

gender.
