Iyo appa

The lattest happening in Indian media is a controversy called Lord Ayyappan defiled by an actress. Ladies and people from non-Hindu background are banned in the famous Ayyappan temple. An actress called Jayamala, in an interview revealed an old story of her touching an idol of Ayyappa and worshipping.

The Christians who wanted to capitalize this situation to propagate and strengthen their faith circulated an sms which goes like this:


When actress JeyaMala touched Ayyappa, he became unclean. When a lady of bleeding touched JESUS she became clean. What a wonderful God we serve!

Many of my Christian friend flooded the inbox of my mobile phone with the forwards of this message. after a week of patience i sent the following text message:

Don't you think that our God doesn't need cheap publicity like comparing Him with ayyappaa? Ayyo it's too much appa. Please stop this. Why don't we christians tell the goodness of christ without comparing Him with other so called 'gods'. Use the gray matter to spread His fame.


hoping that everyone knows the background i sent the above message to most of the persons in my phone book. some responded by appreciating my view. But one of them responded with the following message:

when a lady touches ayyappa she became unclean with her god.

but when a lady touches our LORD JESUS she became clean.

what a mighty God we serve.
