I have seen so many people banish Lord Ayyappa for no fault that i assumed that he is not a popular god! Just came back visiting our family ayyappa temple. When the priest was doing "nei abhishekam", i could not stop my tears!! Though i pray hard to ayyappa, Lord Shiva still holds a special place in my heart.Lavshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754910261878461646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-37738511221581832009-07-17T12:47:15.955+05:302009-07-17T12:47:15.955+05:30this is turning out to be an interesting chain of ...this is turning out to be an interesting chain of comments. . .<br /><br />it is strange that we ( navy and I ) do not really believe in idol worship but still indulge in a ganesha collectionArtnavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060564468230843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-17521392924915559302009-07-17T10:53:40.299+05:302009-07-17T10:53:40.299+05:30Lav: Why?

Plus he is the family God and having attended multiple Shasthapreethis as a young girl in Palakkad has made me his Bhakth for life ! :)<br /><br />IBH: Same pinch and I am not surprised!Sunita Venkatachalamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999860004277224419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-52089449789994976872009-07-17T09:10:57.806+05:302009-07-17T09:10:57.806+05:30Poppp! i was about to say Ayyappa...yes it is Ayya...Poppp! i was about to say Ayyappa...yes it is Ayyappa for me too! my family is a stauch follower of Ayappa and my dad happens to be a guruswami...<br /><br />before i turned 8, i had been to the mala twice....:)IBHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489062692171254536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-49141637047191776442009-07-17T07:45:08.941+05:302009-07-17T07:45:08.941+05:30Ganesha always !!
