Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Please do not try to prove that We hindus treat women like Devis. All the world knows how we also treated our women. Quoting scriptures will not do...becoz the same books say something else too :- 1- Rigveda says (8/33/17) - It is very difficult to control a woman becoz their intelligence is crooked and their Samkalpa can not be suppressed 2-Rigveda says (10/95/15) The friendship and love of a woman is never to be trusted becoz their heart is like that of a wolf 3- Yajurveda Shatpath brahmin says (5.3.2.2/14.1.1.31) a woman without son is bad omen and any woman, shudra, dog and crow always carry lies and sins with them 4- Yajurveda (6/5/8/2) says women lack power they should not be given their share in property, they are not strict even with a rogue and are afraid of everything 5- Tulsidas says in Ramcharitmanas - Dhol Ganwar shudra pashu nari, ye sab tadan ke adhikari - A drum, an idiot, a shudra and a woman all need severe beating So instead of denying the fact that all religions whole of the society deprived woman of their share, let us find out why this was so We are a male dominated society and what this society has given to us ? 5000 wars in the known history, hunger, hatered and what not. Our saints always shunned woman in the name of religion. Chief of swami narayan cult had to be taken out in curtains, so that his sight not fall on a woman. To my opinion, a woman is spiritually more prone to enlightenment. Those who said"Naari Narak ka dwar hai" were sick people who had some psychological problems with sex and women. They forgot to see women as a Mother, but saw her only as a devil coming to destroy the Tapas of rishis. Yes Tantra was the only sect, which respected women equal to a man not only equal but a compliment of male. Male in Tantra is incomplete without a woman. But Tantra is lost now and so has the respect of a woman. A man is mind-oriented person whereas a woman is heart-oriented persons and it is far easy to get enlightenment for a heart oriented person than a logical male. And my strong opinion is that even a male when reaches some heights of sadhna, becomes feminine. A great Indian writer has written in one of his novels " A man attaining qualities of a woman becomes Deva, whereas a woman attaing qualities of a man become a Whore" Perhaps our saints knew this that woman could jumpt to higher states more easily so out of sheer competition, they deprived her of her share in the society and kept her busy in making children and running the house. Anyone agrees ?? baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 "Woman - A doorway to hell ????" My answer is "Yes ! The doorway to get out from hell is women's innate instict of self-sacrificing, care and unconditional LOVE. Do remeber that a door is essential not only for the entrance but to exit too. If you think that you are presently living in a paradise, the women is the way for you to hell; but if you consider this Mayavic world as painfull and suffereing, the only exit for you to take refuge into the sentiments of womendood" How is this interprewtation? And I guess, the correct one for Manu Smriti sloka under reference. Love, Satish Woman - A doorway to hell ????

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Strong statements my friend, strong judgements about who is ignorant or who is going where!!!! Getting personal is a common way to divert attention from real issues, and even more so when people hit close to unpleasant truths. Such statements have the potential (depending on one's consciousness)to trigger people's ego, a fight ensues, and the real issue is tabled yet again. Ages have gone by, and this cycle continues, burying real issues under layers of ignorant posturing. Beating up the messenger for the message does not correct problems .. it creates more!!! The two wonderful posts (pyari and baba) quoting scriptures supporting both aspects of this issues points to the fundamental obstacle in any "religion". Contradictions. Anyone can find scripture to support their point of view. This is especialy true for Vedic literature, which has a tradition of open discussion and huge numbers of texts have evolved under its umbrella. One can find apparent contradictions even within a text itself, if one wants to. This, in fact, is also true for other old religions. Such self-serving use of scriptures has been the cause of many a war, and many injustices. People all over the world have been killed, hurt, maimed, and insulted, because they were not the "right" (according to someone's version of scriptures) color, religion, caste, gender, age, nationality or looks. This fact is unversal and no one can deny it. If they do so, they are contributers and participants in this problem. I see two aspects to this issue. 1. How did such contradictions appear in our texts? Are these contradictions for real or just appearances? Are they misinterpretations, incorrect translations, misuse or simply fabrications by various authors? If it is misinterpretation, then it behooves us to make an attempt to clarify such declarations from the texts which are prone to misunderstandings. If it is fabrication, then its even more important to bring it to light. 2. Does it reflect on the religion? If they are misuse, then can one blame religion for that? People take scriptures and choose to extract what resonates with themselves and use it for persuing their own karmic agenda. Is that the religion's fault? At least in Sanatan Dharm, there is no single gatekeeper of thoughts and ideas, which has actually been the reason for its survival and success. No one organization or individual can exercise control, though people have certainly attempted to do so. The strength and power of this philosophy protects it, while some of the specific practices evolve with the consciousness of the people. Anything that depends on humans, has to be part of the karmic cycle. As one sows so they reap, individually or collectively. The strength of the philosophy underlying Sanatan Dharma provides a Universal Natural Law, which is independant of people's beliefs eg. Karmic law will work, whether we believe or not, or the law of creation will work whether we abide by it or not. One thing to remember is that period related parables, analogies, stories, metaphors etc are a very important part of Vedic literature. This may lend itself to misinterpretation as history moves on. In fact, metaphors of one culture often is a total misnomer in another. So it can make total sense that metaphors of one yuga are misunderstood in another. These are some thoughts. It is a very very important topic for discussion and dialogue. Too many people have suffered because of this problem. We can sit back and say, its karma or we can do our little part in shedding light and clarification. Either way, its a choice we make, whether we like it or not. At the same time, let's be careful when we judge others .. "The world is only as we are". I eagerly look forward to a dialogue here. _/\_ Tat twam asi Uma , Totally useless <who_make_sense> wrote: > You have not surpassed the ability to see all as souls.......you are cant even see good things in human........and here you write as if you are very knowledgeable...........Pity on you....Those who accept that they have a problem can be cured by saints, who come to our earth planet time to time........But for you there is no hope.....Come out of ignorance.....there is still time....Understand what Scriptures says from a qulified Guru.......You need help brother or you will die ignorant....Infact I should add.....you will ruin the precious human birth which God has graced you with...... > > The Vedas says many things....about ignorant people......Have you accepted that..? > > Your well wisher > > Who_make_sense > > beirut_ka_baba <no_reply> wrote: > Please do not try to prove that We hindus treat women like Devis. > All the world knows how we also treated our women.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Dear Baba Let's not generalize. Many people DO treat women very well. (We may have different definitons of "well" !! ) While they may be a minority, it still exists, and we don't need to lose sight of that. However, in a world of might is right, majority rules, many, many women have suffered and are still suffering and I thank you for having the courage to bring such a topic up for dialogue. I wish we had the ability to take a poll in our group, about member's ideas about role of women .. we may be surprised. Perhaps we can use our sister group, and use the polling feature there.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Namaste. Lord Krishna answered in Bhagavatam 11.14., when questioned by the great jnani-devotee Uddhava about the various contradictions in the philosophies derived from the Scriptures: ".... By the influence of time, the transcendental sound of Vedic knowledge was lost at the time of annihilation. Therefore, when the subsequent creation took place, I spoke the Vedic knowledge to Brahma because I Myself am the religious principles enunciated in the Vedas. Lord Brahma spoke this Vedic knowledge to his eldest son, Manu, and the seven great sages headed by Bhrigu Muni then accepted the same knowledge from Manu. Thus, due to the great variety of desires and natures among human beings, there are many different theistic philosophies of life, which are handed down through traditions. There are also other teachers who directly support even atheistic viewpoints. O best among men, the intelligence of human beings is bewildered by My illusory potency, and thus, according to their own activities and whims, they speak in innumerable ways about what is actually good for people....." Material intellect fails to grasp subtle truths. Without Divine wisdom and spiritual guidance of Self-realized Masters and Saints, the apparently contradicting statements in Scriptures are not correctly understood. It is not uncommon for 'maya baddha jiva' (the individual soul under the influence of Lord's illusory power) to be bewildered by the various controversies.

Thakur sends many people for my growth, and I thank them all for their presence. Thank you, for understanding what I was trying to point out. Dear Pyari has in fact introduced us to Kripaluji Maharaj, as others have to their enlightened Gurus.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 First one member feels insulted, then another member gets mad and strikes back in response .. or at least the words appear that way. This game is what has been played again and again, and problems have remained buried under the very dust we need to blow away. "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." Does everyone get awestruck at the beauty of a sunset? Does everyone get ecstatic watching a toddler learn how to walk? Is everyone moved with love towards a particular individual? Does everyone have tears in their eyes when they see a particular saint? Does everyone cry equally at someone's death? Does everyone see injustice in the same event? NO they don't. Because, the quality is not inherent in the event, which triggers or reflects what is already within us. It is a incredible mirror, providing us an incredible compass pointing us on the areas of our lives we need to work on. If we choose to.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I sincerely request you not to leave. This volley of harsh words and hurt feelings, is precisely what I was talking about, and this is what holds people back. Please don't allow words to offend you. Words are energy in themselves, they effect all of us. It is the power that lies behind the value of Bhajans, Kirtans or Mantras and thus us powerful tool in our hands. It behooves all of us sadhaks to be careful how we use it. I also request Beirut baba to be sensitive to people and their love for their Gurus. This love for Guru is the dynamic force behind a disciples growth. Please honor that. Forgive me for bringing these issues to everyone's attention.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Thanks for everything.......... I am not worried about any offensive words or insults to me......I am use to all that and I take it as compliments....The words are hurting them...... I am worried about people who sometime respond to mails and in their innocence do Naamapradh by saying bad about Mahapurush and Saints.....The biggest sin a person can do is Naamapradh................and I thought of leaving group because Instead of doing any thing good I am pushing them towards sin......I wanted to avoid it... Guru is same as God.....They dont curse anyone.....They are here for Kripa only...They are far more happy to be with God but they chose to come back to earth for souls like us who are suffering.......We should respect them........Go and ask them you doubts they are ready to give you answers........Just blindly rejecting them.....It is not wise.. we surrender to Doctors, when sick,,,,,, we surrender to lawyers ..for legal problem.....surrender to CA for financial problem...but in spiritual field, which we know nothing about , we feel we can make it without Guru........How foolish it is...... who_make_sense.
