    Sorry dear. Lakhs and Lakhs people goes to this temple. The total devotees attend this temple is second to Haj. Haj is being done by all around the world; but this one is only within India which gathers so much people as devotees. Everything in this world is a stone or a thing; but it can speak (sand/silicon), it can fly (alumnium with petrol). Likewise, if you see it as a stone you are welcome, can any scientist prove the stone contains nothing other than we see.

    It was an automatic call from Lord Ayyappa in 2003 which took me to this great piligrimage center. Since than (barring 2005) I have visited Swamy every year.With Lord Ayyapan's blessings I want to visit Sabarimalai as many times as possible during my journey in earth. Lord Ayyappa please bless me. Sab ka Swamy Ayyappa Meri Swamy Ayyappa Jagad Murari Ayyappa Bolo Harihara Putra Ayyppa ki jai.
