Kozhikode: Telugu film actress Jaimala and Malayalam cine actress Meera Jasmine both became a subject for hot discussion recently. Jaimala claimed that she had entered Sabarimala temple and touched the Ayyappa idol in sanctum sanctorum.  

The Kerala government and Travancore Devaswom authorities pooh-poohed the actor's claim and said that there was no such possibility. Nobody can enter the sanctum sanctorum of Sabarimala temple. The tight security and the separating wall do not allow anybody to enter sanctum sanctorum and touch the idol. Under such circumstances, how Jaimala could do this, asks Devaswom authorties. 

However the fact that how a woman entered the temple (women between 15-55 are prohibited to enter Sabarimala temple) is a disturbing question for Devaswom authorities.

Earlier a Devaprasnam had been conducted at Sabarimala by noted astrologer Parappanangadi Unni Krishna Panikkar. In his findings he said that the temple was tainted by some unholy elements presence and urgent Karmas were needed to resolve the situation. That is the moment when Jaimala also came forward with her claim. 

Before this controversy ended, a hot new one similar to the one mentioned above surfaced this time with links to actress Meera Jasmine. She had a darshan at the famous Sree Raja Rajeswara temple at Taliparamba. Non-Hindus are not permitted in this temple as per the temple rule. She however had managed to enter the temple. When she was questioned by the temple authorities she replied that she had been converted to Hinduism.
