- Pollution of...@Rohan<br /><br />Thanks for your comments..<br /><br />- Pollution of all sorts is definitely a concern. But selective targeting of certain traditions is all bunkum. The pollution that takes place all around the year 24/7 is much much larger than a Diwali celebration. My rant is the same people who preach about pollution on diwali do not incorporate basic small habits in their day to day lifestyle to stop pollution. <br /><br />- Karva chauth is a choice and not compulsion. In fact in south of India, its hardly observed. Many modern women also do not celebrate it. It is basically a individual's choice. Labeling it regressive at one stroke is not fair. It has nothing to do with gender equality. <br /><br />- I agree that paying taxes does not give us right to litter. But please read again what I have mentioned. It is much more than just littering. It is mini economic eco system for small time farmers and villagers. The garbage on any given normal day is just as much as on festivals. May be just few extra truck loads of banana leaves/shoots. For that should one compromise on traditional way of pooja?<br /><br /><br />Sati was not a tradition. It has a whole different context and background. Lets not compare that with festivals or traditions.<br /><br />Aham Brahmasmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585337184615559293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133223598718756903.post-55987926588970229352012-11-15T05:13:39.380-08:002012-11-15T05:13:39.380-08:00This is a nice post.

As an atheist from a Hindu family, I agree with some of your points, but not all.<br />I feel that people should be smart enough to decide which traditions they should follow and which should be left behind. So..<br /> - Causing so much air pollution in the name of tradition is definitely something we can reconsider.<br /> - Karva chauth, require women to fast for well being of their husbands. In this day and age when we're trying to move towards gender equality, it definitely is regressive. Also, some women have to follow it because its expected of them, without it being their own decision.<br /> - Paying taxes does not give us the right to litter! As long as people are not doing that though, using banana leaves seems fine.<br /><br />After all, we stopped following 'sati-pratha', even though that was a tradition. Not all traditions are good.rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869811900280792097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133223598718756903.post-135584481715000962012-11-14T23:50:49.001-08:002012-11-14T23:50:49.001-08:00Excellent article.

I found this post a good read too: <a href="http://menkris.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/a-feminist-understands-rama/" rel="nofollow">A feminist understands Rama</a>.<br /><br />Meanwhile, my 2 paisa on Atheism (forgive me digressing from the main topic):<br />Atheism in Hinduism is very different than atheism in West. <br />First of all, the word <i>naastika</i> originally meant only those who did not believe in the authority of vedas. By this definition, trust me, most of us (traditionally called) Hindus will be atheists, because neither do we study vedas nor is our society/religion really based on them (yaajnik rituals and all). <br />Our most popular gods are post-vedic (Rama and Krishna). Many of us doubt their historicity, but none of us doubt the message their life-stories give. <br />That's the beauty of Hinduism - you don't have to 'believe' in a person, a book, or even an anthology. <br />For you the god may be nature, time, anything and everything. You can doubt if Krishna could lift a mountain on his finger, and at the same time you can quote from his <i>Bhagwad Geetaa</i>. Contrast this with the Western concept of atheism, where a rational doubt on a virgin birth and a resurrection makes you an atheist.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930021861860490345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133223598718756903.post-86856058132518240962012-11-14T22:19:05.693-08:002012-11-14T22:19:05.693-08:00Excellent post!

True peace of mind is possible through self enlightment. When you feel indifferent to all shades of emotions and feelings you are at peace of mind. Nothing can hurt you when you detach yourself from normal emotions. Peace of mind is also a state of balance. In meditation we try to control our "panch indriyas". That is nothing but keeping in control our seses and i strongly beleive senses are the root cause of hurt or happiness.
