Not that it should bother me since it is not Sidharth speaking. Anyway, it’s on Menstruating Women’s Entry issues for Sabarimala in Kerala. It’s a judicial issue currently and much has been written and spoken on it.
My entire extended family and I have been very active participants in the anti-feminist #ReadyToWait Campaign. Those who go to Sabarimala have a certain value system (Those who don’t know about the legend, google up- it’s widely documented). Feminists from outside Kerala and communists from Kerala, not to mention politicians and conversion lobbies trying to gain out of social unrest, had been trying to force menstruating women to enter the temple. It was literally riot in our temple and stampedes and political manipulations. It’s been two years since Kerala’s Hindus have seen peace. We had been on the roads. We have fasted, cried, been on the streets and lost sleep on many nights early last year. That is how close the issue is to the heart of Kerala.
These feminists have no idea of Tantra or tantric rituals or anything except rotten feminism. Sab woodworks se nikalke aate hai feminism ke jhande pakadke. This is just not about bhakti. It’s about meditative spaces, magnetic vibrations of the location and much much more, all very well scientifically documented. It is nothing as stupidly superficial like doesn’t your god like women like the speaker on the video makes it aboit! Ya toh she is absolutely ignorant or willfully deceiving the public. Infinitely Foolish anyhow. Playing with people’s sentiments. Period.
The Brahmakumaris, that Sidharth and his mother follow themselves have spoken strongly about how wrong feminists are to push the agenda and how the sanctity of Sabarimala needs to be upheld. Every South Indian temple has a certain discipline and speaking without knowing it is thoroughly hurtful and inflammatory.
I seriously hope this is not Sidharth’s sister and if she is, anyway, nothing to be done about it since as I said, it’s not Sidharth and I would like to imagine he respects exceptional and diverse practices and cultures and rituals.
I have never given it to much thought...This is entirely new perspective for me on that situation..I have just followed it in headlines..I am sure its lack of knowledge that is cause of ignorant feminism..
I remember many woman were really against temple administration for such custom, but for me i guess it was about faith.. One's faith should be respected.. and doing that doesn't make you oppressed or weak woman. Not all diversities are meant to be fought with else the point of living in this diversified multicultural country. I remember such situation was with a temple in Assam or sikkim too.. dont remember much..
