Difference between Makara Jyothi / Vilakku - Cnn ibn

Rahul Easwar.. we hear from the former DGP of Uttar Pradesh saying really best practices.. Isn’t the best practices really mean.. that there should have been a lot more police out on the streets that day? We have around 1300 policemen.. One.. But it was you know proved that it was not adequate enough.. One sad thing about.. I don’t know about other temples in Kerala.. Especially temples in Kerala is.. High level of political interference in many things. Temples don’t have a free run on things.. Temple management cannot take independent action.. It is heavily..er.. interfered by politicians and you know.. many government run sectors.. Even the high court today.. categorically said.. Many departments of government lacks coordination.. thats one of the reasons for it.. Kerala high court has pointed out.. today very critically.. So as the earlier person rightly put it out.. Scientific crowd management is an art and science in itself.. Sadly many things are not in place.. And..er..I.. I believe temples should have a comparatively more free run on things so that.. temple itself can take care of all these situations with the help of the government.. not the other way around.. Right.. Rahul..one of the things people outside of Kerala or people outside of South India haven’t really understood is.. why there was such a large congregation of people.. in a hill which was about 40km away from the Sabarimala shrine.. And also the difference between Makara Vilakku and Makara Jyothi.. What was it that people who are actually trying to see there? And..and does it come to the ambient of how Sabarimala is run and how you handle devotees? Does this place also come into that jurisdiction.. I’m very happy that you asked that question.. Some of the North Indian media, channels and news papers have been vehement and carrying out a smear campaign against Sabarimala saying about Makara Jyothi and so called haux.. I am very thankful coz you asked.. CNN-IBN was sensitive enough.. Let me take just 20 seconds.. To explain this.. All religions has there own symbolic aspects.. All poetic expressions.. I am a proud secular Indian.. I respect all religions.. Just like *** Mary and the divine birth of Jesus Christ is a poetic expression.. Just like Prophet Mohammed's marriage with a 9 year old child Aysha.. is a poetic expression.. Makara vilakku, Makara Jyothi is a poetic expression.. If you take the context out.. Many things doesn’t seem to fit in place.. So Makara Jyothi is the celestial star.. And Makara Jyothi is the symbolic deeparadhana that is being done.. Many people.. without knowing this has taken a smear campaign.. Thats the reason why I said I am a person who accepts all religion is true.. It is the same as *** Mary’s divine birth of Jesus Christ or Mohammed Aysha’s marriage.. These are all poetic expressions.. In the same way.. Makara vilakuu, Makara Jyothi is also a poetic expression.. Alright and amongst all the poetic and celestial beliefs.. Rahul Easwar you also spoke about..er.. scientific method..er.. Quickly.. Just wanted to ask you.. ISRO has offered help saying that next year they are willing to give..er.. images..of the Sabarimala and how the crowd.. management is being done.. Is that something..er.. you are willing to take up? Definitely.. We are very thankful for ISRO for that suggestion.. And on 31st.. We are having a meeting.. Tantri family.. Tantri devasom board and all.. And I would like to say one suggestion we are going to put forth in 31st.. Even four days before.. We are thinking of.. We are thinking of.. Planning to extend the season for 10 more days.. Right now the temple closes on January 20th.. We are planning and we would like to have a wide range consultation of making it January 30th.. So that the density will be spreaded across 10 more days.. It will be better helpful for police.. and other things.. And..other institutions in scientific crowd management..
