Sivagiri Madhom chief Swami Satchidananda stated that allowing women into the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple is not wrong, aligning with past suggestions from Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati. He emphasized the need to eliminate regressive practices and superstitions, citing the example of a young woman being asked to leave the Guruvayur temple pond and singer Yesudas being denied entry. Swami Satchidananda's remarks were made in the context of the Supreme Court seeking the Kerala government's stance on the Sabarimala women entry issue.
