50 people looking for solar image of Mary lose sight; note where this is happening

feb 26th, 2008

note that erumeli is one of the important stops in the sabarimala pilgrimage. there have been several attempts by christists to grab the land and to disrupt the sabarimala pilgrimage.

1. in the 1950s, christists set fire to the temple
2. in the 1980's, chrisists claimed that a *wooden cross* was found near sabarimala, and that this was therefore christist territory. the alleged thomas (who never came to india) had allegedly left this wooden cross there 2000 years ago, buried, and it had survived. a true miracle
3. a few years ago, the christists invited the pujari at sabarimala to visit one of their devil-worshipping spots (aka churches). the poor pujari, being 'secular', went there, instead of saying "get thee behind me, satan!". christists took videos of this and started circulating it to the ayyappa pilgrims, saying, "see, your priest came to our church. you should also convert."
4. two years ago, the christist oommen chandy government nixed a railway line from kottayam to erumeli, saying it "would pass through christost lands and cause the land to be taken over. the railway line would not benefit christists".
5. last year, a kannada actress claimed she had gone to sabarimala as a young woman and actually touched the deity. now touching the deity is physically impossible because the image is way inside the sanctum. but for a young woman to go there is against custom. she raised a lot of noise, all intended to denigrate sabarimala. guess what, it turns out she's married to a christist, and is possibly converted
6. last year, one of the sabarimala priests was asked to go to an apartment in cochin (which, by the way is a massively christist-majority town), and when he got there, he was forcibly disrobed and thrust into compromising positions with a couple of whores. whjich they photographed. the whores and the mastermind of the operation were christists, and the objectives were blackmail and denigration of sabarimala

now this thing in erumeli.

the christists really hate sabarimala, because it has become a phenomenon. they were converting lots of lower-income people with the cult of the madonna of velankanni (interestingly this is a former shrine to murugan's consort vel ilang kanni amman, which was forcibly taken over and converted by the christists), but the booming popularity of sabarimala has been a thorn in their side.

the christists have targeted the main temples in tamil nadu (kanchi), andhra (tirupati) and kerala (sabarimala) as part of their master plan to convert all of south india.

going back to this particular idiocy of mary's idol dripping honey and whatnot, and of seeing mary in the sun, why isn't the oh-so-rational english language media denigrating christists? the answer is that the ELM is infiltrated by kerala christists, including a lot of priests who go in for journalism. eg. ninan, george, pamela, philip et al

 50 people looking for solar image of Mary lose sight

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: At least 50 people in Kottayam district have reportedly lost their vision after gazing at the sun looking for an image of Virgin Mary.

Though alarmed health authorities have installed a signboard to counter the rumour that a solar image of Virgin Mary appeared to the believers, curious onlookers, including foreign travellers, have been thronging the venue of the 'miracle'.

St Joseph's ENT and Eye Hospital in Kanjirappally alone has recorded 48 cases of vision loss due to photochemical burns on the retina. "All our patients have similar history and symptoms. The damage is to the macula, the most sensitive part of retina. They have developed photochemical, not thermal, burns after continuously gazing at the sun," Dr Annamma James Isaac, the hospital's ophthalmologist, said.

The hospital has been receiving patients with these abnormal symptoms since Friday. When the doctors found a pattern in the case sheets, they reported it to the district medical officer.

The health department has now put up a signboard at the hotelier's house near Erumeli, where the divine image is said to have appeared, warning people against exposing their eyes to sunlight.

Even the churches in the vicinity disowned the miracle during Sunday mass after health officers and doctors approached the clergy. The house in question has been the centre of local rumours for a few months.  The hotelier, who has since moved to another house, had claimed that statues of Mother Mary in his house have been crying honey and bleeding oil and perfumes.

Though people have been flocking to the "blessed land" - hastily christened Rosa Mystica Mountain - for long, the mad rush for the image in the sky began a week ago.

There are quite a few people still seeking the miracle, despite the experiences of their unfortunate predecessors and strict health warnings against gazing at the sun with the naked eye.

"The patients show varying degrees of severity. They are mostly girls in 12-26 age group. Our youngest patient is 12 and the oldest 60. Most of them were looking at the sun between 2 and 4 pm, when UV1 and UV2 rays are harshest," Dr James Isaac said. He added that they could identify the problem as solar retinopathy because they were aware of the local sensation.

"Most patients may hopefully improve their vision. But there may be long-term effects on the retina," he added.

Crazed lunatic robot followers of the binary death cult from Palestine. Is worshipping the mutilated corpse of the dead Arab on a stick not sadistic enough that these bigots have to introduce the spiritual masochism to Indian soil via opthalmologic self mutilation? Here's a really humorous take by South Park
on the christist "Virgin"Cult. The christist padres have succeeded in throttling free speech by bullying
Comedy Central, Youtube etc to delete the episode, but here's a brief synopsis on the "Bloody Mary" episode . I watched this on Cable (LMAO), but alas, did not have the foresight to record and preserve the video for posterity. The humour is admittedly a bit crude, featuring a menstruating statue of the christist "Virgin",but hey that's South Park for you!! At any rate, anything an animated cartoon can conjure is infinitely less perverted than the ROL's sick dogma and agenda for world dominion. Folks, do watch this rare video if you get a chance. If I manage to get hold of the video, I may try my hand at some multimedia editing, dub it into Hindi/Telugu/Kannada etc and post on Youtube. Will let you know...
