Republic Day 2021

[YagamiLight]

Actually its not ! Swami Ayyapan is one of the best symbols of Secularism in India. The Pilgrimage to Sabarimala(Ayyappa Temple) starts at a Muslim Mosque dedicated to a saint named Vavar and St. Andrew’s Basilica in Arthunkal.

I have been there multiple times
But sir
Just pointing out one thing OT
I wouldn't call it secular, but rather plural

You are right. Plural is the right word. Like In the words of Swami Vivekananda, "Not only tolerate other religions, but positively embrace them, as truth is the basis of all religions"

Whats this doing here?

And in any case, how many Christians who visit the church nearby and how many Muslims who visit the Vaver mosque nearby visit Sabarimala Iyyapan? Don't sugar-quote the shameless lack of self respect Hindus display when they unilaterally visit mosques and churches, where they get called kaffirs and satan worshippers, as being "plural". Much more apt will be self respect lacking untermensch

How do you know I am a Hindu before you even accuse me of sugar coating things? I have just put forward the right narrative as is, if you cannot digest things the way it is, you need help!

The Pilgrimage to Sabarimala existed well before either the mosque or church came into being - no debates here. I have no hard data to prove it, but chances are the local sanatani people converted either by fear of sword or greed of rice bags, but simply could not let go off their faith in Ayyappa swami which resulted in this ganga jamuna vatican tomfoolery. As Rajiv Malhotra said, we dont want the Abrahmic cults to "tolerate" sanatana dharma, it needs to be respected - period! Toleration ka zamana gaya!

Whether you are a hindu or not is immaterial to what I said. Now stop wasting this thread.

PS: if you are a Hindu, grow some self respect. If not, then ask your fellow cult members to not be genocidal animals and to grow up and become humans. Thanks

Well yes ! According to your logic Non Hindus have only one purpose in life I guess. Anyways I don't want to spoil this otherwise good thread that we have here in the name of religion. All I was saying was "Swamiyee Sharanam Ayyappa" is not Sangi or communal as someone whom I had quoted said, its very much part of our pluralistic culture and are proud to have the Brahmos Regiment adopt that as their war cry.

Instead of black flags, villagers hoist tricolour in Maoist-hit area in Dantewada

Dantewada (Chhatisgarh) [India], January 27 (ANI): Residents of Pahunhar village in a Maoist-affected area across the Indravati river had earlier put up black flags on Republic Day, but this year they hoisted the tricolor.
The entire area across the Indravati river is the hotbed of Maoism. The people living in this part of Dantewada have been deprived of the fruits of government's schemes and the village sarpanch lost his life when he took initiatives for development.
Speaking to ANI, Abhishek Pallav, Superintendent of Police (SP), Dantewada, said, "Maoists have always hoisted black flags in presence of the villagers on Republic Day and Independence Day in this village. But not this year."
In an encouraging gesture, the administration decided to let the national flag be hoisted by the late Sarpanch's son, Kesav Kashyap. The village echoed with patriotic songs and the SP distributed study materials to children and essential items to the villagers.

However, the interesting thing is that these are not sounds of actual animals and birds, but produced by the members of the musical group.

You say that as if being a sanghi is a bad thing.and demanding respect from other religions to all dharmic religions is necessary.start by imprisoning and fining these big and small comedians for talking about hinduism in bad light.

Now how did you derive that? All I said was Swamiyee Sharanam Ayyappa cannot be associated with a single religion or be called a Sanghi as the diety is the biggest ambassador of secularism and pluralism in this country. Lets not paint the war cry of the Brahmos Regiment or any regiment for that matter with the color of religion.

Trust me, most of the people in India keep religion their personal affair and dont mix it with relation. Lets not stoop down to the level of those Pakis as that's exactly what they want to see on their platter.

And that church is forcefully built there while mosque is built by making up a fake story. #Justsaying

This is the piece of history taken from traditions acknowledged by the Pandalam dynasty, the birth place of the deity. Maybe some one brainwashed the Maharajas too.

I would respectfully disagree sir
About the bit concerning the mosque
Not that St Thomas cooked up story though

Ok so atleast Xtian church we can agree on is basically symbol of Xtian crusade against Indian temple and culture.

Now coming up to Mosque it's a cooked up story with no original text to support it and built on the line like all other majaars and mosque are coming up in India.
Here we can agree to disagree

but in no way Swami Ayappa Temple or chant is Secular it's a hindu Temple and I won't take a single shred away from that truth.

 

[WarriorIndian]

Okay guys. Lets stop the debate here. Its about the parade and lets stick to the parade. The battle cry is is not secular or plural and is very much Hindu. Hope everyone's happy now.

Ente Ayyapan Saakshi. Adhu madi. Swamiyee Sharanam Ayappa !
