Re: Sati in Bihar, India
We need to look at evolution of Hindu religion over 10000+ years. You can find almost everything that's been said and written in books (1000+) related to Hinduism.
Its not adviced and propogated by hindu religion as of now, that way you can say Shankaracharya's don't support it anymore........ The reasons for Sati being prevalent during medival times are also gone... hence its no longer part of current Hindu religion...
Coming to Sati, many a times we have heard of other partner committing suicide and dying at the death of partner. This looks more like that case, where this lady couldn't fathom the idea of living without her husband and just walked into the fire late in night, when everybody else had gone to sleep. We can discuss this till death ..
as we have already discussed many a times earlier.......:)
