Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Lahore, I have to admit you bring light to 'hidden' and 'secret' areas of hindu religion.

A Link is not so important if a proper 'source information' is already given. For those who don't agree with a source info, it should be their responsibility to post the actual source information, if not, then they must agree with actual poster. This way they will not only make other person's argument invalidated but on the other hand people may believe the producer of the correct source with seriousness.

Also, internet link should not be considered 100% authentic or accurate unless it has some other sources of information posted.

*Proper source information means the name, publisher and author of the book, article or magazine etc. *

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Which Hindu propogates that our ‘mythology’ was strictly ‘monogamous’?

I still do not understand what is your problem?

You are wrong if you think that Hindus will difend everything related to the religion en la a blocked mind way.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Lahore981, if you have the website and if you do wish to share it, then please provide the link rather than requesting others to challenge you. This thread isn't meant to be a joke and if members don't smarten up and take it seriously, I'll be compelled to close it.

We need to respect each others' religions and beliefs rather than making a mockery out of it.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

As per the ‘Hindu penal code for marriage’…No.

Now tell me what is your problem?

Sadiyahji..let it contunue. We are enjoying it.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

well actually, i just examined a brand new copy of the Manusmirti and the passage you have quoted is non-existent. :slight_smile:

i have just proven Lahore 981 to be a liar.

perhaps he should be banned for creating false religious quotations - a clear violation of the rules of the Religion forum.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

nikhil, please provide the actual verse(s) if you can. It would be great if you can also provide a web link that can attest your claim. Thank you.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Good, where is the link? Just making false assumptions? :confused:

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Sadiyah do you give me a guarantee that there will be no demand of weblink in the future, if I provide the weblink, I agree to post it here.

Let me know.

In that case, at least you’ll not say the same thing to me again-----> provide a weblink etcetc.

I have never seen such a big lier before…Okay, (although this is a propaganda against me and since Sadiyah is also getting confused), here is the link.

Sadiyah please see with your own eyes, their lies and propaganda.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

You lier, imposter… here is another weblink and see your favorite “non-existent” paragraph here too :mad:

Manusamriti: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/india/manu-full.html

216. Having thus consulted with his ministers on all these (matters), having taken exercise, and having bathed afterwards, the king may enter the harem at midday in order to dine.

217. There he may eat food, (which has been prepared) by faithful, incorruptible (servants) who know the (proper) time (for dining), which has been well examined (and hallowed) by sacred texts that destroy poison.

218. Let him mix all his food with medicines (that are) antidotes against poison, and let him always be careful to wear gems which destroy poison.

219. Well-tried females whose toilet and ornaments have been examined, shall attentively serve him with fans, water, and perfumes.

220. In like manner let him be careful about his carriages, bed, seat, bath, toilet, and all his ornaments.

221. When he has dined, he may divert himself with his wives in the harem; but when he has diverted himself, he must, in due time, again think of the affairs of state.

222. Adorned (with his robes of state), let him again inspect his fighting men, all his chariots and beasts of burden, the weapons and accoutrements.

223. Having performed his twilight-devotions, let him, well armed, hear in an inner apartment the doings of those who make secret reports and of his spies.

224. But going to another secret apartment and dismissing those people, he may enter the harem, surrounded by female (servants), in order to dine again.

225. Having eaten there something for the second time, and having been recreated by the sound of music, let him go to rest and rise at the proper time free from fatigue.

226. A king who is in good health must observe these rules; but, if he is indisposed, he may entrust all this (business) to his servants.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

bhaji, why is your copy/paste found nowhere on these sites?

why are you so afraid of posting your source?

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Sadiyah, he claimed that a paragraph is “non-existant”… you be the judge now. You need to control this :mad: This is white lie. compare the quotations I have given through multiple source, ALL ARE THE SAME.

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

in my special version that was fed-ex’d from the home of Manu’s own descendants in India, these verses are non-existent.

however, i want to know why are you being so secretive about your source? please post the weblink - i know it is bookmarked on your computer.

is it some website to be ashamed of?

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

ORIGINAL POST
“When the king has taken counsel about all of this with his counsellors, and when he has exercised and bathed, he should enter the harem at noon to eat. There he should eat food over which Vedic verses that dispel poison have been chanted, food that has been well tested by kitchen servants who are like his second self, who cannot be seduced and who know the time (for food). And he should clean all of his articles with waters that destroy poison, and he should always be circumspect about wearing jewels that destroy poison. Well-tested women whose clothing and ornaments have been thoroughly cleaned should attentively caress him with fans, water, and incense. In the same way, he should be careful about his carriage, bed, seat, and food, and about bathing, anointing and adorning his body, and all his ornaments. When he has eaten, he should take his pleasure with the women in the harem; and when he has taken his pleasure at the proper time, he should think again about the things he must do. In full regalia, he shouldinspect the armed forces again, and all the vehicles, weapons, and ornaments. When he has performed his twilight rituals, he should arm himself, and in the inner chamber he should hear about the movements of his spies and those who report secrets. When he has dismissed these people and gone to another inner chamber, he should again enter the harem to eat,surrounded by women. When he has again eaten something there, his spirits lifted by instrumental music, he should lie down and then arise at the proper time free from fatigue. A king should follow this regime when he is healthy; but when he is not well, he may entrust all of this to his retainers.”
Manusmrti 7:216-226

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Nikhil, Lahore981 has provided the accurate link for the verses that he quoted in his initial post. Here’s a screenshot:

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Lahor saheb…

I still do not understand what your problem is.

  1. Is it your problem that Hindus do not follow and justify their outdated religious dogmas?

  2. Is it you problem that Hindus do not ‘learn’ their religious texts in a blind fashion?

I have made it clear to you that Hindus do not have any ‘religion learning school’ for minors. And I am sure that it is sign of maturity. Do you deny it?

Ps, Or if you want a selective reply...is your prerogative right!

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

actually Sadiyah, he hasn’t.

he has provided an alternate link and alternate translation, presumably after some frantic googling to avoid revealing his source.

as you may have noticed, his first post is from a different website…it is the website he has used for all of his anti-Hindu threads (of course, never with the cited link).

Lahore, do you want to tell us what that website is called and what it is about?

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

^ Keep howling on your own. You are a retard …

Not that they have abandoned all of their religion, as your statement is suggesting. You do follow your religion, right?
Besides, you follow it “out of record” right?

No, the problem is that Hindus don’t read their scriptures AT ALL. This has been proven many many times in many threads. This thread is another example where a big fuss has been created upon the weblink weblink, while no Hindu dared to tell us what the exact quotation says in manusamriti Chapter 7: 216-226, if I am wrong… Right? Why are you lieing here…

Religion learning schools are not needed. Do you think I learned this all from a religion learning school? :rolleyes:

Re: Hinduism teaches polygamy/Polyandry

Lets get back to the topic.

So you all agree then that Hinduism teaches polygamy as the quotation proves it too.

Now, does this quotation mean “make pleasure with the women” -----> sex out of marriage or with prostitutes or stray women? Please explain…:slight_smile:

If not, how many wives/women a person can have? Any limit? Remember, Lord Krishna had 16,000 girlfriends…
