question on 'sati'

[Guest guest]

Respected Members,

 

The practice of Sati is more of demonstrative nature of practices.

as you know this practice was allegedly existing in northern part of the

country few hundred years back.

 

North india unlike south was repeatedly raided and swindled by foreign

kings.

 

Not just the kingdom, they laid

their hands on the social fabric of Hindu society and destoryed the rich

traditions etc,

Unfortunately women

too were taken away by the rulers and thier men along with material wealth.

 

After reemergence of Hindusim, People in this land had become demonstrative

in their attitude towards religion

and practice. I had once lamented in my earlier posts that we are more

becoming religious and less spritual.

 

Hindusim is unfortuntely becoming more of demonstrative religions like

these one born out of inferiority complex and

insecured mentality.

 

there exists a lot gap between knowledge of scriptures, sayings and the

actual practices. we can also attribute to the

influence of Buddism on this land for almost 500 years which has wiped out

sastric dharma in this land.

 

Though Manu has written about women falling on the fire, he did not try to

codify that. it is more of a opinion from him.

 

hence there was no necssity for spritual heads to have any opinion on this

..
