Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Sri Ramachandran,
Humble pranams to you. Your article is EXCELLENT. If some 
females/women go for equality(with a feministic attitude like 
chauvinistic attitude)with men in "everything" it only amounts to 
stupidity and nothing else. Women are designed to do certain 
activities and so are men. Those who don't understand this should 
talk to some physiologists. One simple observation in men and women 
is the arms. In the case of men,it's more straight and in women it is 
not and this accounts for muscle stretchability during women's 
delivery. Similarly all this vedic chantings(which has to come from 
lower abdomen) would enforce a tremendous normal pressure on the 
uterus and hence women may not be able to conceive or even if they 
do,they may not be able to sustain the baby longer due to the 
weakness of the uterus. 

Scientifically one can give an example. If an aircraft, 
which is designed to fly in air,lands into the water,the wings(which 
generates the lift) will get ripped off instantaneously because water 
pressure is 1000 times the air pressure and the aircraft can not 
handle that pressure. We can give so many examples. 

With my little knowledge I would dare to say that Vedas are 
eternal(it is not a function of time). It accounts for all cases
(general and special)and doesn't matter whether one lives in 
a "vedic" age(where vedas were given the highest respect)or in 
our "so called modern" age. Hence one doesn't have to invent some new 
system to account for some cases in 20th century. I wonder how anyone 
can produce individuals of the calibre of ANdAL(I'm not sure about 
the former two "gargi and maithreyi")as Sri Krishnaswamy mentioned. 
It is only possible if ANdAL Herself comes down. I would like to 
quote Francis Bacon(Shakespeare's contemporary):"some books are to be 
tasted,some swallowed and some others are to be chewed and digested". 
Vedas come under the last category. Without having such 
training,passing comments randomly leads one nowhere except throws 
one back into the circle of ignorance. 

I was very delighted to read your article and heartfelt thanks 
for writing such a big article and making the efforts to clarify some 
of the subtle issues behind "why women can not chant vedas".

Best Regards
