Re: Respect of Women

By saying that it is the Sharia of Hindus, you imply that its being followed as rigorously as Muslims follow Sharia. Can you substantiate that claim on how and where its being followed (except for the remnants of the caste system that still exist) ?

Brahmin dominance as priests has been carried out since before Manusmriti. The examples about treatment of elders, parents etc are laid out in Bhagwad Geeta and Ramayana and that is what most Hindus follow. Why do you find Geeta/Ramayana in most Hindu temples/place of worship in house and not Manusmriti ?

What are you going to say next - that Chanakya’s Arthashastra is also a Hindu scripture ?

Advaita Vedanta only talks about Hinduism, not any other religion. So my using Advaita Vedanta to rubbish other religions would be an arguement as ridiculous as the one you are trying to make with your Manusmriti examples.

I have already told you that Advaita philosophy believes that all Hindu deities come from the one supreme being. Islam and Christianity are already monotheistic religions so they also believe in One God.

Regarding how Manusmriti is followed,I have already posted in my earlier posts.You can just scroll up and read all of them.

Your second question is filled with ignorance and absured reasoning. Manusmriti is older than Ramayana and Mahabharata . You can find the quites from Manusmriti in both Ramayanan and Mahabharata. If you can not have a simple knowledge of this thing, what’s the point in bringing in such discussions? Again you can scroll up and see my quotes from Ramayanan and Mahabarata on Manusmriti. I can debate to the effect that since Manusmriti was written before these epics and these epics do tell about the virtues of life ,Manusmriti has played the profound effect on these sacred texts and the due credit should go to Manusmriti rather than Ramayana and Mahabharata( My Mother Goddess forgive me for that!).I would say Brahmins have been given special stature in Mansumsriti ,as the sole genesis for performing religious offerings,and it is mentioned in both Ramayanana and Mahabharata,which came after Manusmriti, and and even after centrueies and milliniums the same status continues today. So another profounding aspect and effect of Manusmriti in Hindu life.

Ohh yes Arthasastra is just a mythial one and would have come from Advaita… According to your theory of creating legends from vacuum.

Again you are trying to fish in a mud water. If Advaita believes in one supreme being and all the gods and goddesses have come from that ,how it differentaites other religions from the same theory?I am asking you one smple question.Do you have guts to say that all the gods and goddesses affiliated to all other religions**(Including Islam and Christianity)** in the world are simply mythical,according to your Advaita theory? Pls answer me Yes or No. How does you Advaita theory(the magic of creating Goddess Durga from vacuum and all other religios gods ,as they are,as if your school of thought is blind and deaf to them)is confined only to Hinduism. When I am talking about my religion I have the utomost belief and confidence that my deity The HINGOL MA (Balochistan),THE MOTHER GODDESS KALI , is the mother of this universe and it’s subjects, let alone Hinduism and it’s scriptures.
