Kerala sucks. For all their literacy levels and the communist rule for decades nothing has changed. This shows that the society in Kerala is no different from any others. Wether the politican is making an issue out of this is irrelavant. The very thought of the priests cleaing the temple in the so called purification stinks. The temple is now impure after the ceremony. The country is getting more and more religious as days go by. The laid back approach to religion in the 70's and the early 80's is gone. Fanatism takes shape in all religious maths. The sabarimala priest controversy is swept under the carpet. There could be be no smoke without fire. When their own folks are indulging in such acts what right have these priests to prurify the temple? If an unknown person of a different faith entered the temple would any of the high priests notice? Govt shoud do something about it. Throw open the temple to all and sundry.

just these blanket simple solutions will not help. The priests should allow non-Hindu spouses and children of Hindus into the temple. Some level of flexibility is needed, otherwise it will hurt the very religion that the priests are trying to protect. Also Vayalar Ravi should stop shouting that it was done because he is an Ezhava, that is simply not true.
JK your accusation about the priests is open to debate. was the priest really guilty of keeping a mistress, or was he the target of some campaign? Can anybody really answer the question with proof?
