In thekkan mookabi temple at Paravoor the vidyarabha ritual is hundred times bigger an incident than it was years back.okay no comments. but now they have displayed a menu card type big board on the wall with numerous new offerings to the deity(vazhipaadu), which were not prevailing some years back. Saraswathy being the goddess of knowledge, there is a heavy rush during the examination season.Taking advantage of the crowd, temple authorities added special items in the menu like "sreevidya manthram, thattam nivedyam,etc. etc. which we have not heard of in our childhood days. We need not be surprised even if they introduce newer ones like SSLC Malyam,Entrance Vijayeemanthram, UPSC NIvedyam IAS Poosparchana, to cater the demand of the customers.!!RAGHU MENONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130687363462572910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172487410114041206.post-69619858696643657472012-05-09T16:23:45.188+05:302012-05-09T16:23:45.188+05:30Dr. Roshan, Hearty Welcome to Random Thoughts!!!
...Dr. Roshan, Hearty Welcome to Random Thoughts!!!<br /><br />And I agree with you and Leo that the temples have become more like business centres than abode of the God. <br /><br />Even I felt that it was a blatant self-promotion which I witnessed there. That feeling prompted me to write the above blog.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope to hear from you again!<br />Regards,<br />NishdilNishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929794638674106552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172487410114041206.post-75173945350839611202012-05-06T21:45:13.477+05:302012-05-06T21:45:13.477+05:30I agree with LeoPaw.. nowadays its more about busi...I agree with LeoPaw.. nowadays its more about business than religion for the temples.. the description you gave saddens me more as it is blatant self-promotion of a human being rather than God itself...Dr Roshan Radhakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568986447487703775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172487410114041206.post-57470874046049700272012-04-30T18:08:39.604+05:302012-04-30T18:08:39.604+05:30Very true Leo!
