Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Dear learned gurus, I came across this news at the site http://www.humanrightskerala.com/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=3749&Itemid=5 Basically it tells about the use of " ashtamanjalyaprashnam or Devaprasnam " at sabarimala temple and how the astrologers could predict that one woman had entered the temple which is not according to the rules of the Sabari mala temple. Later one actor from karnataka accepted she had been to the temple in 1987 (http://newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp? ID=IEX20060627132347&Page=X&Title=Kochi&Topic=0) I was really astonished by the way the prediction was made by ashtamanjalyaprashnam. What actually is ashtamanjalyaprashnam all about and whether it is practised in places other than kerala. with regards manju Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Manjuji, Ashtamangalya prashnam - my two cents info... it basically deals with divinity and other related aspects of temple. like whether there is any dosha in the worship methods and whether puja methods are proper or not..? etc.. normally a kumari with lamp in her hand is asked to enter any one of the 12 houses of kundli and the house where she enters first is considered as lagna and accordingly the process continues... there was good handout sometime back in the magazine sakthi vikatan and if interested you can ask the vikatan authorities for a copy of the same...this art is widely practiced in kerala . sriganeshh , "manju_88" <manju_88 wrote: > > Dear learned gurus, > > I came across this news at the site > > http://www.humanrightskerala.com/index.php? > option=com_content&task=view&id=3749&Itemid=5 > > Basically it tells about the use of " ashtamanjalyaprashnam or > Devaprasnam " at sabarimala temple and how the astrologers could > predict that one woman had entered the temple which is not according > to the rules of the Sabari mala temple.
