Amidst widespread criticism directed at alleged Gana singer Isai Vani for her song “I Am Sorry Ayyappa,” which was disrespectful to Lord Ayyappa, actor M S Bhaskar has also voiced his disapproval.

The song, which Gaana singer Isaivani performed at an event organized by Dravidian Stock director Pa. Ranjith’s Neelam Cultural Center, has been criticized on social media for insulting Lord Ayyappa with lyrics like “Shall I spit on your rituals?”

In response to Isai Vani’s controversial song “I Am Sorry Ayyappa,” actor M.S. Bhaskar posted a message with a backhanded compliment subtly criticized their divisive politics and divisive stance.

Bhaskar said, “I recently listened to the song ‘I Am Sorry Ayyappa’ sung by Isavaani. The way she started singing apologizing to Swami Ayyappa was wonderful, her voice was good. The style of singing combined with dancing was amazing. The only drawback is that the sound of the instruments was so loud that the song could not be heard clearly. It would be even better to set up a stage near Sabarimala and sing such meaningful songs on special occasions like Vishu and Makar Jyothi. So, they too will get special ‘pooja’.”

Bhaskar reflecting on his childhood experiences said, “When I was a child, I saw my elder brother, carrying the irumudi (a sacred bundle of offerings to devotte and lord and ayyapan) and getting Vaikarusi (a mourning ritual). Similarly, they can also get Vaikarusi from their relatives and friends and hold a musical program. Even writer of the song can also be introduced.” 

Then ridiculing Isaivani stated, “Such a wonderful song can be sung in all languages ​​like Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada. Devotees of all languages ​​will listen to it and ‘gift’ them, won’t they? Anyone can sing whatever they want. But one thing, Lord Ayyappa will accept this as a ‘Nintha Sruthi’ (a song of criticism).I’m not sure whether the tiger, his vehicle, would approve! ‘I’m sorry, Ayyappa. Please send them back with wisdom.’

Concluding his message, Bhaskar shared his views on true devotion said, “True spirituality and devotion is about not offending feeling of others in the name of worship. Prophet Muhammad forgave those who had harmed him at the very moment. Even when Jesus Christ was crucified and pierced in the side with a spear, he was the one who said, ‘Father… forgive them for their unknowing sins.’ No great spiritual leader ever called for the cursing of other gods or belittling people of different faiths. O Lord, please have mercy and forgive these people’s mistakes made out of ignorance, and grant peace and harmony.”
