Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 dear eve and prainbow, thanks for presenting different perspectives on this topic. nora has also responded beautifully to eve's post by narrating how shri ramakrishna worshipped all women as manifestations of the divine goddess. here, let me quote my fvorite verse from devi mahatmiyam... " Vidyah samastah tava devi bheddah striyah samastah sakala jagaatsu " (O Devi! All types of knowledge and all women in the world are thy diverse manifestations and forms. so, all women are worshippable - that is my standard view point! similarly all men are also worshippable for who gives birth to men , dear ones? - answer is women, right? so by deductive logic, if you worship women , you need to worship their 'creative' energy, also? right? so, all of creation are to be respected! AS OUR BABAJI IS FOND OF SAYING... ya devi sarva bhuteshu cetanetyabhi dhiyate namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaha TO THE DIVINE GODDESS in all existence who resides all throughout as *****CONSCIOUSNESS***** AND IS KNOWN BY THE REFLECTIONS OF MIND, we bow to her, we bow to her , we bow to her, continually we bow, we bow! but i do admire eve for stating the 'facts' as he sees them and my hkudos tpo prainbow also for adding another dimension to this discussion... love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
