Sacred Travel: Hindi Sri Mahamariamman Temple
#holythrowback to 2019 when I visited The Hindi Sri Mahamariamman Temple in #KualaLumpur, Malaysia.
Founded in 1873, this place of worship is the oldest Hindu temple in KL and undoubtedly the most beautifully detailed I have ever explored. Its 5-levelled 75 ft tall "gopuram" tower is particularly impressive, as it features 228 hand-carved Hindu gods, credited to sculptor S. T. Muniappa.
The temple’s name is in honour of Mariamman, the goddess of rain, who is also prayed upon to treat ailments such as cholera, smallpox, and chicken pox. Interestingly enough, there is an almost identical temple in Singapore, and I’ve come across a similar building in Seychelles too, of all places.
When it comes to religion, Malaysia is a very open country. #Islam is their official belief (63.5%), but people are free to praise down whichever path resonates, including 18.7% Buddhism, 9.1% Christianity, and 6.1% Hinduism. However, their intolerance towards atheism has long been criticised, with cabinet members stating that "the freedom of religion is not the freedom from religion".

Janthopoyism is a spiritual philosophy meets self-improvement program.
We view the Absolute collection of all Universal Energy to be the highest power. You are part of that power. You are an extension of divinity.
The ultimate purpose of this power is to evolve, and we each have a unique part to play in this progression. The details of your role are relayed to you every moment of your life via emotional notifications.
The tricky bit is that human beings have developed a communication barrier between themselves and this instruction.
This barrier is called "the brain".
But never fear! By utilising some very simple practices, you can open the flow of exchange, granting you access to the ether of infinite ideas, the infallible path of your guided destiny, and the recollection of your holiness.
Which is basically a wanky way of saying that your life is about to get a whole bunch better.
Join the movement before it becomes too mainstream.
