The Sabarimala Shrine & some controversies

Within hours after the Supreme Court asked for explanation about the ban on women at the Sabarimala shrine the Kerala Govt. has decided to remove the ban.
This seems to be very interesting. Govt. tells they are backing equal status for men and women and was not opposed to women visiting the shrine.

But what is the actual reason?
It is simple they do not have a reason for the ban.

The traditional followers of Sabarimal Ayyappan will be cursing telugu actress “Jayamala” now. Yes. She is the one who started the show.
Even though nobody knows about the truth behind her blabbering , it is true that it created lot of smokes & fire. Finally, the release of ban also.

Definitely they have all right to curse Jayamala.
But I have a few questions to them?

What is the problem if women visit the shrine?
Yes. I can expect one answer.
It will be about the 41 days penance & women can’t take those many days penance because of natural reasons.
Ok.. It leads to more questions..
How many men are taking this 41 days penance before going to the shrine?
Why women are considered as dirty in their mensestral period?
I know you will not have any answer.
Finally you will tell…
It’s BELIEF & TRADITION.
I will not leave you.
Beliefs and Traditions may not be good.
“SATHI” was also a tradition.
Do you feel that “SATHI” is a good thing to follow?

Any body have an answer ?
I am ready to ask more questions…
