Sabrimala Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Sabrimala temple
Atop the hill,
Since when have they been debarred from,
Not allowed to enter into the complex,
The women in between 10 to 50 years,
I do not know the history,
The case nor is it for my pleading and argument,
But as a human being I can just say,
Why can they not worship?

Ayappa, the God of Growth,
Now say You,
What it to as the Abode is Yours
Overlooking the forest reserve
With the wild animals
And the folks too with the myth of their own,
Now say You, Ayappa, Lord Ayappa,
Who to be debarred and who not,
Are You not the God of all?

I can hear about the hills of Sabri
Whom Rama visited it,
The temple founded by Parashuram,
The trek to the abode
And in the sanctum sanctorum the Lord lost in
His meditation, Ayappa
And the devotees outnumbering it all
So full of faith and devotion.
