RE: 'Hindu Diploma' Reflects Marketing Manager's Spiritual Quest

[Guest guest]

Many times I see advertisment for donation, (I give it in my small way),

but I really would like to get personally involved and see thier life. I am

very much drawn towards THE age old ugly system of DEVDASI. It always pains

and pained me in past when I first learnt how it originated - that too in

the name of god they do it. How god tolerates this ugliness - THIS question

I asked before - being a god's server- they serve low graded men with no

moral values and these devdasi's have no place nor thier offspring.

 

This is the reason many times I question our epic stories. Take an example

- One of the great epic Ramayana - Lord Rama took all the trouble to rescue

Sita, in the end he wanted her to take Fire test to prove her purity and

Sita took and was purified. Being a god avatar I STRONGLY condemn his

behaviour. Look at sita, she was protaryed as dove like simple women but

what a foul mouth she had when Lord Laxmana refused to obey her command, to

rescue rama (marisan cry) Like this I can give many example.

 

Such stories does not help in anyway - look fire is regarded as sacred or

purifier - this feeling get strongly in the mind of masses and they look

upon CRUEL SATI as ritual to send her to heaven as she is purified along

with her husband. It was very painful to read that SATI is still practised-

I thought it was abolished by British(this is one good they did before they

left).

 

It is very difficult to change once mind set is formed. Hence, i question

many things, even in west I question - their civilisation is applicable to

them i donot want to get any more political - it is just feeling that I am

sharing.

 

In west as a part of studies - they are trained to do such social work. Like

fund raising etc., but it does not come naturally to me. i think

christanity as a religion is a missionary work - it gives importance to

missionary work like indian's give importance to sadhana (i may be wrong). I

was involved for a short while, I have seen them do it as a part of

religion.

 

s I just wanted to share. Sorry, I am taking lot of space for unnecessary

topic. The above article was good. raji. -

1. Sati is largly abolished. But there are rare instances when it has nothing to

do with religion - namely elimination of an heir to succeed to the estate of teh

diseased. That is pure murder and nothing more. It has to be treated as such and

the perpetrators should be disinherited. Thats the only method. If a widow

commits sati the other coheirs should be disinherited and property escheated. If

that law is passed it will be in the best interests of the coheir to safeguard

the widow.

Hope Government of india things on these lines.

It has been legally abolished by passing a law in the both houses of

the parliament.
