#NamaJapaDiwas: Today, it marks the second anniversary of the first #NamaJapaGhoshayatra organised by Pandalam Palace on 2 OCT 2018 in which more than one lakh Devotees attended to express solidarity to protect the time-immemorial rituals of Sabarimala Temple.

Swamy Saranam 🙏

#NamaJapaDiwas: This year, the #NamaJapaGhoshayatra anniversary has been quite eventful in the midst of COVID-19 restrictions in place. Received a lot of calls and messages from all parts of the World to convey their memories. Feeling blessed for the love and support of Devotees.

#NamaJapaDiwas: After hearing from Devotees and taking stock of all the apprehensions reaching by, it was duly noted to address the atrocities and issues faced by the Temples and Devotees due to State Control; in accordance to the discussions which took place at Pandalam Palace.

#NamaJapaDiwas: The meeting convened at Pandalam Palace decided to strongly condemn, seek explanation, and demand proper investigation on the grievous security lapse of the Police & Forest authorities at the Holy Ranges of Sabarimala on 27 SEP 2020.

#SabarimalaSecurityBreach

Two men rode a scooter, crossing all the Police & Forest checkpoints so easily, and could reach till Valiya Nadapantal.

Forest officials set the trespassers free without proper investigation

Security lapse and negligent investigation are unpardonable

#SabarimalaSecurityBreach

The Holy Ranges of Sabarimala are pious. Crores of Devotees are maintaining the sanctity of Punya Poonkavanam and Temple through devout spiritual practices since time-immemorial. Religious sentiments of Devotees worldwide are hurt by the trespassers.

#SabarimalaSecurityBreach

Pandalam Palace submits the representation to Hon'ble Governor, Shri Arif Mohammad Khan, in regard to #SabarimalaSecurityBreach, requesting kind attention and immediate intervention to address the apprehensions of Lord Ayyappa Devotees worldwide.

Swamy Saranam 🙏

With just weeks to go before the Sabarimala pilgrim season,

* the perpetrators be taken into custody and questioned in detail;

* a thorough investigation be carried out into suspected conspiracy or terror-links;

* action be taken against officials for gross negligence of duty;
