Sabarimala Entry for Women: Swami Satchidananda Faces Backlash, Boycott Sivagiri Mutt Movement erupts
Swami Satchidananda said that the Left government
has not done anything wrong in the entry of women in Sabarimala. The reason for
the protest was that the masses did not grow up to embrace the Sabarimala
policy of the Left government.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Swami Satchidananda, the President of Sivagiri Mutt, has reiterated the organization's strong stance in favor of permitting women to enter the Sabarimala temple. He expressed this view during an interview with Aparna Kurup, Deputy News Editor at News18 Kerala.

on Women’s Entry into Sabarimala:
- Young
women, including those from the royal palace, have entered Sabarimala
multiple times(alegation).
- In
light of the large number of devotees, Swami Satchidananda suggested that
women should be allowed entry at a specific time.

time.
- Perspective
on the Left Government's Actions:
- Swami
Satchidananda stated that the Left government did not make any mistakes
regarding women’s entry into Sabarimala.

explained that the protests occurred because the public was not ready to
accept the Left government’s Sabarimala policy.
- Allegations
Against Other Political Parties:
- He
accused other political parties of engaging in vote bank politics.
- Satchidananda
claimed that these parties refused to accept the Left government’s policy

Reaction from Sabarimala Ayyappa Yuva Seva Samithi
We Strongly Condemn Swami Satchidananda’s remarks supporting
women’s entry into Sabarimala and endorsing the Left government’s policy is
disregarding age-old traditions and the sentiments of devotees, His stance
undermines the unique celibate nature of Lord Ayyappan, By aligning with the
government, he is mixing spirituality with politics. His remarks totally
disheartened the Ayyappa Devotees. - Srinivas Lelalla, Chairman of Sabarimala Ayyappa Yuva Seva Samithi.
