Sabarimalai Sastha or Ayyapa is a sylvan god worshipped by the credulous Hindus of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in India. He is the son born to Siva and Vishnu as a result of a homosexual act.
To escape from the curse of the powerful demon Durwasa, all the gods joined together and churned the milky ocean to gather "Amrut"-a butter-like ambrosia. They collected the "Amrut" in a pot, and kept it to be served at a heavenly feast. An Asura (demon) from the nether world stole the pot of " Amrut from Develoka. When the loss of the ambrosia was detected, the omniscient Vishnu was able to know where it was. He went to the nether world in the guise of Mohini, a woman of exquisite beauty, and brought and back the "Amrut" and served it to the gods. When Mohini was serving the Amrut, Shiva got intoxicated with her beauty and had sexual intercourse with her, who was in reality Vishnu. Vishnu became pregnant as a result of the homosexual act, and gave birth to Sastha from his thigh. Both Shiva and Vishnu discarded this un-naturally born illegitimate child in the forests of Sabarimalai in Kerala.

Yesterday itself I had clarified to you that the above portion is from the book, Gods Demons and Spirits by world renowned rationalist, the late Dr. A.T. Kovoor. He had written about other faiths also in that book. I have an original copy of that book with me. I do not get offended if some one question the superstitions, like you.

Dear Veera, I do not beleive all Muslims are fanatics. I have a few friends who are atheists and a few who believe in Allah (but their religiosity is limited to going to the Mosque on Fridays and keeping Roza during Ramzan).
I have a strong feeling that most of the muslims have not read The Koran in a language they fully understand and that is the reason why they believe that "Islam is a religion of peace, etc"

Guys, Sahadevan is back! This commie was recuperating after Gujarat and HP election result.
Sahadevan KeKda - is not a development - he is underdevelopment.
You are not fostering tolerance when you deride our native culture day in and day out. Islam is more of a politicial ideology than a religion. It is Arab imperialism. The Arbas do not consider the Indian and Pakistani muslims as equal to them (now don't ask me to quote relevant verses from The Koran).
What "brother-hood" (Ummah) are you talking about? The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the so-called repository of Islamic faith) and Pakistan (a country specially created for the Muslims) are the biggest supporters of USA in anihilating your co-religionists in West Asia. Why don't you protest against them rather than the predominently peace-loving majority community in India???????? If the majority of Hindus were supporters of RSS/BJP, Mr. L.K. Advani would have been the PM of our Country instead of Dr. Manmohan Singh!!!!!!!!!!

What Arab say we won't follow, What Prophet Mohammad (SAS)says we follow.Also Koran says all human being are same. We are not agains INdia or Indian constitution. We are aginast MODIS and ADVANIS and RSS, SS, MNS. We also want to be in peace not on the cost of our faith. Please try to understand Islam.
