2014 Sabarimala Deva Prasnam Predicted Jail Terms for Temple Associates Amidst Gold Heist Case
A prediction from the 2014 Sabarimala Deva Prasnam (astrological inquiry) regarding imprisonment for individuals associated with the temple is currently a widely discussed topic. The astrological assessment conducted then had indicated that those involved in the administration and activities of the Sabarimala temple would face danger, litigation, dishonor, and potential jail terms. This prediction is gaining significant traction now as several individuals closely linked to the temple at that time are reportedly among those imprisoned in connection with a recent gold heist case.
The Deva Prasnam was conducted on June 18, 2014, under the guidance of renowned astrologers Cheruvalli Narayanan Namboothiri, Kuttanad Ravunni Panicker, and Thrikkunnapuzha Udayakumar. It was following this inquiry that approval was granted in 2017 for the reconstruction of the flagpole at Sabarimala and the installation of handrails for devotees ascending the revered “Pathinettam Padi” (18 sacred steps), ensuring no alterations were made to its original position or dimensions. Concurrently, a stern warning was issued urging extreme caution for all individuals engaged in temple-related operations.
According to traditional Hindu beliefs, a Deva Prasnam is a ritualistic astrological inquiry performed to determine if any untoward incidents have affected the temple’s deity or to discern divine approval for proposed reforms and changes within the temple premises. The current events have led many to reflect on the accuracy of the past predictions.
