[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

It is seen that most of the religions do not give

equal status to man and woman! Why?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Well! When the head of a Nation is on a visit,

extensive security measures are taken up. The security

officers restrict his movement in various ways - he

has to take only the specified route, occupy a certain

seat on the stage, should not mingle with the crowd,

etc. Is not the safety of the Official that is the

cause behind such action?

 

Two important Epics of our Sanatana Dharma are the

Srimad Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In Srimad

Ramayana, the Consort of the Lord is abducted by an

Asura. In the Mahabharata, Draupadi having the five

Pandavas as the husband is humiliated in the court of

the Kauravas. These only go to show that this world is

not very safe for women!

 

In this country, do we not worship the mother and

women verily as Goddess? Therefore, it is not the

intention of the founder of any religion to refuse

equal status to women.

 

The rules in various religious have been laid down

considering the security and welfare of women more

important than equal rights.

 

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
