Dear all, Namaskaram to all. I happen to come across the interesting discussion going on the universal access to Vedic Scriptures irrespective of gender, caste etc. I am not a Vedic scholar but I strongly believe in the authority of Vedic Wisdom and adhere to veda paramparyam. I donot understand when Sri Saraswati has Vedas in her hand, when Gayathri is Veda mata, there are women vedic rishis why vedic knowledge is denied to women. When Ma Parvati performs Shiva Pooja and japa with Rudhraksha how come they be denied to women. In same vein, I would like to ask the advocates of restricted access of Vedic wisdom to only the men born in the top three Varnas(BKV). When there are Vedic Rishis whose parentage was unknown, how come you deny the people of the other varna the access of great vedic wisdom. When a thief Valmiki could become a great Maharishi with chant of Rama Nama, how come vedic wisdom be denied to the others. Dear all we are in a crucial stage. Today we have to protect and promote Veda dharma, anushtana in a united way. Let all join together and have an inclusive framework of Sanatana dharma. We have to remember the western vedic Scholars like Sri Max Muller, today Pt. Vamadeva sastri have done a lot. I feel exclusion of Millions of people from chanting Gayathri and other veda mantras will not promote our dharma.

Dear Sri Sriramji, Namaskaram. I have gone through some of your expositions on Panchayatana Puja. I would like to know wher Sri Skanda is to be seated in the panchayatana order because there is no corner left. And further in what form traditionally he can be worshiped along with the five moorthis. Kanagaraj Easwaran
