Truth behind Makaravilakku
The most important or the heart of Sabarimala is Makaravilakku. Pilgrimages from all parts of India reach Sabarimala mainly with the attraction caused by Makaravilakku. They expect that Makaravilakku is a natural light. Makara Jyothi is a natural phenomenon which is an evening star which rises in sky during January 14. But Makaravilakku is not a natural light and it is created artificially.Explanation from Kerala Government about Makaravilakku
Kerala Government has already made clear to public that Makaravilakku is a not a miracle and it is a self created light by government authority. Ponnambalamedu hill, where the Makaravilakku appears is in the hands of KSEB. That means that light is produced by KSEB. A former employee of KSEB, Shivananda said that Makaravilakku is not a miracle and he has witnessed the creation of Makaravilakku in 1981. Also the former Devaswom minister G. Sudhakaran said that the Government has no intention of examining the Makaravilakku because it is a faith of pilgrimages for hundreds of years. He also added that the Government is not going to destroy these faiths.Effort by The Kerala Yukthivadi Sangham
Last year Kerala Yukthivadi Sangham climbs the hills and does the same process as Devaswom did. They successfully created number of Makaravilakku in the hills by using camphor and sacks. They prove that Makaravilakku is not a miracle but it is an artificially created one.
Explanation of Thiruvithamkoor Devaswom board about Makaravilakku
Thiruvithamkoor Devaswom board explained to the high court of Kerala that the Makaravilakku is an artificially created one by KSEB and forest departments. They also said that the board has never told to the public that Makaravilakku is a miracle. The controversy arises because of the similarity between Makara Jyothi and Makaravilakku. Earlier Makaravilakku was lightened by tribal peoples who live in forests of Sabarimala. After their extinction the Government took the responsibility of Makaravilakku. How Makaravilakku is created?
Makaravilakku is created by burning large amount of camphor in a bowl from the bottom side of Ponnambalamedu hills. Then this camphor is extinguished by using wet sacks. This process is repeated for three times which results in appearing Makaravilakku light above Ponnambalamedu hills for three times. The correct time for the Makaravilakku light is synchronized by using wireless services.
The place where this burning process is done is a dense forest and it is kept away from public by Kerala police. This means that no one can enter into this area without the permissions of government.Garuda, the Eagle- truth remain unrevealed
When Thiruvabharanam is carried towards the Sabarimala, an eagle flies along with it. In Hindu methodology eagle is considered as Garuda which is a vehicle of Lord Vishnu. It is expected that the Garuda comes for protecting the Thiruvabharanam. The truth behind Garuda is still an unrevealed truth and is expected that we will get a result soon.
