Modern Ayyappa Temple With Ancient Hindu Discipline

Recently I was told to visitan Ayappa temple run By Aiyappa Sangam in Tiruchi.

I have seen some of the Ayyappa temples in places other than Sabarimala.

Most of them start with good intentions and discipline and time takes a toll on both.

"3 km from the Bus Stand, Located near the district court of Trichy, is a peaceful temple and attracts many people in all week days. This temple is famous for its discipline and neatness. Special pooja’s for unmarried, child expecting peoples. Open : 5 a.m. to 10.50 a.m. & 5 p.m. to 8.50 p.m."

The temple in located near the Court.

Absolute Silence is what one notices and of course cleanliness.

There no shouting calling out the Names of God nor is the habit of Dakshina in the 'plate'

If your mobile phone rings inside the temple premises, it is confiscated and returned you after 48 hours and a Notice is put out to this effect.

Wise and insightful sayings are put up on the Wall.

All instructions to the Devotees are in a polite , yet firm language.

If you want to feel Divinity please visit this temple.

The poojas are an experience.
