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".
