On March 8th, also Sri Caitanya's appearance day, I read an appalling quote of Iskcon's founder Srila Prabhupada, claiming that women are the most dangerous weapon of maya.

There is no God on earth for a woman than her husband.....She must on the death of her husband allow herself to be burnt alive on the same funeral pyre.

I had read the many ancient spiritual stories,eg Gargi who defeated yagvalakya in shastrarth,wife of mandal mishra who defeated shankryacharya in shastrath,In this universe if there is no energy or shakti,then there will be no creation,because everything is in lifeless stage without shakti,which is Feminine.<br />The soul of men or women or any creature of God does not have any gender,which is part of God,"atma ansh jeev avinashi",the soul can enter in any body irrespective of gender,"atma ansh hai parmatma ka".<br />So according to me,every social norms can be performed by men or women.yes i agree there is some physical and emotional difference is between men and women,which is necessary for balancing nature.Vinashaay sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896278759769158828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386887.post-13719628315640331812012-03-07T01:21:00.234-08:002012-03-07T01:21:00.234-08:00मेरी उपरोक्त कथन से सहमति है .. साथ ही प्रश्न भी उ...मेरी उपरोक्त कथन से सहमति है .. साथ ही प्रश्न भी उठता है कि यदि नारी का कोई धर्म नहीं तो उसकी सन्तति का धर्म कैसे ? .. इसलिये मेरे विचार से मूलत: धर्म की अवधारणा ही हेतु पूरक व्यवस्था मात्र तक सीमित है। शेष जो व्यवहृत धर्म है वह मात्र सामाजिक सत्ता हेतु आडम्बर ही है। वास्तविक आध्यात्मिक उन्नति के मार्ग पर चलने वाला व्यक्ति अपने जीवन से सबसे पहले यदि किसी का परित्याग करता है तो संभवत: वह है इसी तथाकथित धार्मिक संकीर्णता का। इस के उपरान्त ही उसकी अध्यात्म के मार्ग पर प्रगति होती है। उदाहरण के लिये आध्यात्मिक रूप से जागृत सभी महान विभूतियों के जीवन गाथायें हैं। उनके आचरण में सर्व धर्म समभाव ही मुखर एवं परिलक्षित है जो तथाकथित सम्प्रदाय की वयवस्था के विपरीत है। <br /><br />अत: उपरोक्त वाक्य से सम्पूर्ण सहमति के साथ मैं कहना चाहता हूं कि जिसे हम भ्रम वश धर्म कहते हैंवह मात्र एक व्यवस्था है।<br /><br />सादरश्रीकान्त मिश्र 'कान्त'https://www.facebook.com/shreekantmisranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386887.post-83628278322533679782012-03-07T00:59:21.599-08:002012-03-07T00:59:21.599-08:00Whoever wants to have a religion can have irrespec...Whoever wants to have a religion can have irrespective of his/her gender. Because religion is the deepest self-realisation with a positive attitude towards life. But unfortunately many rituals and "Lokachar"s have been believed to be religion which is incorrect. More unfortunate is when we see that in the name of religion how wrong things were/are imposed on women and they were/are being tortured. Saroj, I have gone through Lallan's life-history and his wonderful songs, and what a positive philosophy he had at that age !! I respect him like nything. At that time many people, both men and women who were tortured by the then "uppercast"s, took shelter in Lallan's place where they lived a cast-less life. You may be knowing that even Rabindranath found Lallan's songs as very essential for cleansing the then society. So I personally believe that both men and women must seggregate rituals from religion and prohibit the imposition in the name of religion. Saroj, I am not against rituals, because some are very sweet and interesting, but I never confuse it with religion.Supriya Pandahttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001367565264noreply@blogger.com
