Our history is a witness to how the invaders during the Mughal period made numerous attempts to destroy the Hindu faith, beliefs, traditions and religious texts by tarnishing them. Sometimes, they succeeded, and sometimes, they had to face defeat due to the rebellion of the society. Their attempts to dupe the Hindu society were completed by the Sufis, who came after them by building mosques, Pirs, Mazars and Dargahs at various places. Over time, the situation became such that Hindus may or may not go to their temples or ashrams, but being confused in the desire to fulfil various kinds of wishes, they went to these mosques, Pirs, Mazars and Dargahs etc. and got trapped in the labyrinth of exorcism, witchcraft and Pir-prasad. Although a large section of the Muslim society considers all this as idol worship and un-Islamic, but whether Muslims come or not, what could be an easier way to earn free income from home and Islamize Hindus than this! Perhaps for this reason, even if they do not chant ‘Vande Mataram’ or ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ in the name of opposing idol worship in Islam, they will easily carry out ‘land jihad’ and ‘peer jihad’ through this throughout the country and will continue to dupe innocent Hindus in many ways.
Now, let us talk about the holy annual Mandalam-Makarvilakku pilgrimage that began on November 16 in the holy land of Kerala. This 41-day holy journey is a very difficult journey undertaken barefoot for several kilometres on a mountainous route. In this journey, the devotees take each step forward with full faith, belief, sacrifice, dedication and purity. It is said that even if they see a dead body on the way, the devotees do not proceed further without taking a bath. They stay miles away from meat, alcohol, bidi, cigarettes or any other type of Tamasi food during the entire journey.
In such a situation, imagine how you would feel if the devotees of Bhagwan Ayyappa get only halal food and non-edible items on the way, hotels carry meat and fish, there is no provision of drinking water, medicine, rest or toilet on the way, there is no sign of cleanliness and on top of that, they are charged Rs. 10/- for applying tilak! The government’s Devaswom Board earns crores of rupees daily through the devotees, but in the name of arrangements, the devotees yearn for even the basic necessities required for them. There is no arrangement for the elderly to sit or have toilets on the way, and there is no arrangement for their first aid if someone falls ill. If someone sees the arrangement of government buses run for a few kilometres, then the shamelessness of the government will be exposed.
The Devaswom Board of the state government is filling its coffers by extorting huge amounts of money from the devotees in the name of Prasad even without offering it to the deity, which is nothing but a blatant fraud and a blow to faith and belief! If someone wants to get the puja done there by his own family pujari, then even that is not allowed. This time, as part of the conspiracy to make the pilgrimage deserted by limiting the number of devotees, the state government had allowed only devotees with online bookings to come. After Public pressure, the Govt later released some offline quotas, too.
If the matter was limited to this, the Hindu society could have tolerated it, but the state government and some anti-Hindu selfish elements associated with it are not only looting money and faith from the Hindu society through the so-called mosque of Vavar built there for the last few years, but it seems that in future they are also planning to build a Babri structure in this big Ayodhya of Hindus in South India. The Hindu society there is understanding this entire conspiracy very well. What is the connection between the devotees of Bhagwan Ayyappa, who follow strict fasts with devotion and faith, and Vavar? For the last many years, consciousness has been awakened in the society against the desecration of this great pilgrimage of Bhagwan Ayyappa and the looting of crores of rupees of the society by Jihadis in the name of this mosque. The local Hindu community has mobilised against the fabricated stories created by the secular, Muslim and Commu-Jihadi gangs to call Vavar a fast friend of Bhagwan Ayyappa and get him worshipped before Bhagwan Ayyappa. But still, by spreading the illusion that unless Vavar is worshipped, Ayyappa’s worship will remain incomplete, the illegal occupation that started from a small shrine is now being transformed into a huge mosque under government protection. Misleading innocent Hindu devotees and getting them to worship Vavar in the mosque is indicative of a deep conspiracy to insult our religious beliefs and traditions and to secretly honour the Jihadis. The amazing thing is that the offerings of the Ayyappa temple go to the government through the Devaswom Board, but the offerings of Vavari are used for Jihadi activities.
Amidst all this chaos and injustice being done to the devotees, many questions arise: why is the Communist government of Kerala making the devotees of Bhagwan Ayyappa worship Vavar? Why are devotees deprived of essential facilities even with the money they donate? Even if society stands up to demand facilities, why is it suppressed and implicated in false cases? Instead of promoting the pilgrimage which gives the government billions of rupees of direct and indirect income every year, why does the Chief Minister say that if the facilities are less, then limit the number of devotees? In such a situation, the silence of the entire Indy alliance on the conspiracies of Communism to end this holy pilgrimage of Hindus once again exposes its anti-Hindu character.
