"Satti" Practice

:salam2:

How and when it started? What is the hidden logice behind this Practice? Is it still followed?

re: "Satti" Practice

As far as I remember Satti is not the religious thing, it was culturally followed in Rajputs and was abandoned during British era.

‘Rasam’ k liyeh ‘ritual’ word use hoga ke something else? Plz correct the title if there is another word. :hat:

Re: "Satti" Practice

While satti was performed by the widow of the deceased person.. There was this Jauhar practice in Rajputs, where they killed their women and children, considering the expected defeat from the enemy.

Re: "Satti" Practice

If i'm not wrong that I think the Satti practice was followed by Hindu too where they burn alive the wife with her husband.

Re: "Satti" Practice

As I said, it was not a religious practice IMO. There was also a tradition of 'baal moondhan' of widow and widows were not allowed to marry again. But I don't think that Hinduism supported these things.

Re: "Satti" Practice

There was one more practice where a woman always wear black dress, not allowed to marry just like Nuns and peoples swear of her in any case.

Re: "Satti" Practice

In Hindus, white is the color of widow dress and they were not supposed wear any color. In rular Sindh, widow women used to avoid nose pin, after the death of husband. But recently the trend has changed and a widow with a son can continue wearing nose pins.

Re: “Satti” Practice

Sati Pratha, Pratha translates into tradition, is named after Maata Sati, first wife of Bhagwan Shiv:), Her father said to have verbally abused Bhagwan Shiv for which she burned herself for such dishonor showed by her father. Bhagwan Shiv took her burning body in his arms and started Tandav Nritya, dance that brings destruction of universe, to which others stopped him, his two drops fell in present day temple of Katas in pakistan.

later in Indian society, Sati picked up, under this women is burned alive on the funeral pyres of her husband along with him. Raja Ram Mohan roy who established Benaras Hindu University opposed it and british made Sati illegal:k:

In modern Indian society, it has no standing now:)

Re: "Satti" Practice

So the incident of Mata Satti was not based on compulsion? Were there any concept of reward (punya) for the women, who became satti?

Re: "Satti" Practice

Not theologically any punya is involved in it:D and Mata Sati did it seeing dishonour of his husband by her father:) and tradition involved no such thing.
Truth is, it is women who are always involved in scheming aginst their own community be it inablity of giving birth or inablilty of giving son or female foeticide
