Sabarimala – Erimeli Babur Samadhi Debate
Sabarimala Ayyappan Temple is one of the most popular and divine holy places in India. Millions of devotees visit Sabarimala every year to worship Lord Ayyappan. A place called Erimeli is an important destination in this pilgrimage.
In the background of this a recent discussion was said in the Deva Prasanna of the Sabarimala Devasthanam that “those who wear garlands go to Erimeli Babur Samadhi will be defiled”. Due to this, various questions have arisen among the devotees.
What is the presence of God?
Deva Prasannam is a form of divine consultation popular in Kerala. They use this method to seek advice from the deity to solve important and complex problems. Through this the devotees can find solutions to the problems arising in their cultural and religious practices.
The real reason is that those wearing garlands are said to be unclean if they go to Erimeli Babur Samadi
Importance of wearing garland
Devotees who go to Sabarimala fast for 41 days and wear Aiyappa Mala. Wearing this garland has a decisive meaning.
Purity: Devotees must live a clean life for 41 days, with physical, mental, and spiritual purity.
Penance: Devotees give up their daily life and live as an ascetic, avoiding emotional distress and thinking only of the deity.
Fame: Devotees who wear garlands are considered to be single-minded and devoted to Ayyappan Sami.
History of Erimeli Babur Samadhi
Erimeli Babur Samadi is an Islamic mausoleum. Babur is believed to have lived a maximum of 224 years.
History: Based on his historical accounts, Babur is said to have spent the last days of his life in Kerala as a Muslim believer from a coastal village.
Significance of Samadhi: Many Muslim devotees come there to visit Babur Samadhi.
Secularism and defamation
Some devotees of Sabarimala go there during their fasting and tapas.
Servants of Sabarimala do not go to other religious places: To protect their spiritual sanctity.
Comment on Defilement: For some, Babur Samadi is considered an Islamic site, so visiting it may affect the cleanliness of devotees before the Sabarimala festival.
Action of Devasthanam
The Sabarimala Devasthanam consulted Deva Prasanna to solve this problem. As a result:
Order: It has been decided that devotees wearing garlands should not visit Babri Samadhi.
Reason: The devasthanam took this decision with the intention of protecting the spiritual sanctity of the devotees.
Process Notification: The notification for this will be clearly communicated to the devotees in the dharma kariyas of the Devasthanam.
Community support.
This decision has everyone in favor.
Supporters:
Spiritual sanctity: They consider the sanctity of Sabarimala to be preserved.
Mode of Worship: It follows the traditional worship of Ayyappa devotees.
Conclusion
A pilgrimage to Sabarimala is an experience connected to the devotees’ peace of mind and spiritual love. Erimeli says visiting Babur Samadhi is taboo, in fact it is very important for devotees not to visit Babar Samadhi contrary to their spiritual beliefs.
Regarding this discussion, the Devasthanam should take an immediate decision in the interest of the devotees.
In issues like these, the freedom of the devotees and the sanctity of the divine rites must be protected in balance.
