Sati Pratha in Hinduism - True Face
Sati Pratha or Simply Sati
A Hindu philosophy of women ness
SATI PRATHA – AS KNOWN TO MODERN WORLD
As far the prevalent understanding about ‘Sati’ goes, it goes as about burning of a widow. The hype of burning women goes with an explanation like this: if the husband dies in an unnatural manner, the widow is forced to be burnt in the funeral if she herself does not approve it. The reasons behind this act as known are also many. One view known is that the woman and man are two bodies but one psyche and hence death of one should be result in death of another, which would send renown to the women for her faithfulness. Another view is that the widow may evoke notorious people to go wrong against her. And at many times, it is simply accepted as a part of Hinduism as a traditional practice. I believe that the variance in views exists and signifies that it has nought to do with religion. And there is a sound reason why I believe so – No where in any authenticated Hindu literature did I find such a rule. I agree, that there had been few occasional instances of such event, but then how did it come on the whole Hindu community – is a questionable point. Such instances of burning widows living in the name of ‘Sati’ had been periodically under newspaper coverage too. Though, authenticity of such newspaper as a religious practice or criminal causes was never traced after trial from criminal courts.

It is for sure that such cases were not very famous in this nation. Else, we would have found hundreds of women getting burnt every day. Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what reasons lied back those casual and rare scalding cases are under legal investigation amphitheatre. The medium, weekly and political forces have forever affirmed them as religious disadvantage of Hindus. Had that been a religious process, as we have detach Islamic law, criminal offense would not have got enrolled and trials and punishments would not have taken place. Unfortunately, far more savage acts are committed in Islam in India, but no law or politics interferes. No media highlights the religious brutalities, if they do not belong to Hinduism. In fact, such acts are actually not religious, as we ambition penetrate in below partitions; they are very rare and pure efficacy of enmity and individual distinctions. But, under the inspire of Long Leaders, media highlights the events as a part of Hindu beliefs. If these events are not very occasional, if we do not find such events taking place in scriptures of Hindus, we will must establish the essence concept of ‘Sati’ in Hinduism in relation to such sarcastic events.
TRUTH OF ‘SATI’ AND THE ‘PRATHA’
The word ‘Sati’ started as the appoint of daughter of Raja Daksha, and wife of Lord Shiva. The myth goes like this – Once ‘Sati’ went to heed a ceremonial cause arranged by her father, though uninvited. Unaware of the fact that the occasion was kept for humiliating Sati’s husband Lord Shiva, she went there against the will of her husband,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], convincing him that going to her parents was her rights. But when she found that her husband was getting abused, she became so petulant that she jumped into the flame of burning launch, production her father the guilty of her death. Lord Shiva got angry and demolished Raja Daksha. How is the above myth related to burning of widow – ‘Sati’ was not a widower when she jumped in the funeral. Thus, such burnings in the name of ‘Sati’ is far from justified in any access as per Hindu myths. In fact, the myth has various message to be diagnosed. First, it shows that a ‘Sati’ should not have gone against her husband’s hope, as respecting him, particularly against human who goes to humiliate him, binds her stronger to him. Secondly, she conveyed the blood relation a justice, but on the contrary she did not tolerate her husband’s humiliation. At one example, this does not deliver anything meaningful for those extremely educated teams who live with the impression that these myths are baseless. But then these studied folk should understand that when they suffer modern education like Business Management, they are told stories and puzzles related to Ant and Elephant that looks quite childish at one go, but conveys nice treatment theories, actually practiced in Business world. Hindu myths are at least not based on animals and insects; they are mostly based on peoples, Gods, deities and contain all beings around them. The reason such metaphors are of higher standard is purely because it visions a highly cultured society togetherness. How can they be ridiculous?
In medieval India, during Mughal attacks, Kshatriya women used to commit ‘Jauhar’, someone alike to ‘Sati’, out of pure terror of Molestation and Rapes committed by Muslims after victory. Now, if the present literates say that even ‘Jauhar’ was wrong and not the Muslim opinion of molestation, the story ends here. But if not, then ‘Jauhar’ and the ‘Sati Pratha’ hyped today are two different things, for sure.
In either the points above, one myth and another hard reality, a picture of women in Hindu society is revealed, which is overlooked and the focus stills on women obtaining burnt. Both the points clearly reflect that Hindus have been a society where women were of utmost adore and molestation was as huge a culprit crime as murder for the women. Dignity of a woman in Hindu society is instantly narrated to her aid to one and only one husband – diverse all other religious cultures where a woman marries one after another relying on her adjustments she or the husband can make with each other. Among Hindus, one-man relation builds so deep a fastening among the partners that if one departs it is often hard for the additional to withstand – particularly for the woman. Kings whereas used to marry more than one wives, for political reasons mostly in order to either expand the territory through establishing relationships or invest the territory with more offsprings.
However, in modern periods nobody of the on criteria exists. Thus, in one alternatively 2 cases, female by herself have committed suicide at the untimely decease of her husband. It namely apt be understood that such rarely events are either termed suicides alternatively murders along Indian statute – decree that is made hard for nigh 70% of the population of India comprising of Hindus.
The above understanding of ‘Sati’ is what is known about it, in both positive and negative aspect. But in Hinduism, ‘Sati’ and ‘Pratha’ have a aggregate different understanding than the above knowing. ‘Pratha’ is any practice that is coming from ancestors and is adopted by upcoming generation as well for the known well-impact. ‘Sati’ actually is a very pure word in Hinduism; it represents the purest form of woman; the naturalness that has tremendous power. The word refers to the natural power of a woman which she develops by the virtue of her truthfulness towards her husband. This truthfulness relates to so many aspects of the women and equitable not physical relationship. One, her thinking do not work further her husband, for the reason she regards the Husband almost as God. Second, she acts to make sure that her actions far from occasion any break or insult to her husband in any form. In circumstance, the woman finds counteracting ideology, she discusses it out with her Husband and her proposals are saluted, recognized and honored. This still happens in Hindu family, in maximum of the cases. Instead of understanding the normal realization of women power by Hindus, unnecessary and insignificant conclusions are made about its myth and related to criminal incidences.
THE INDIAN WOMEN
There are many polemical scriptures too accessible as highlighted by other religions going against the honor of women surrounded Hindus. A scripture from Ramayan goes as:
‘Dhol Gawanr Shudra Pashu Nari, Sakal Tadan ke Adhikari’.
It is to be eminent that simply plucking out the word woman (‘Nari’) and declaring that Tulsidas told women are ought to be beaten and scolded (‘Tadan ke Adhikari’) as per Hindu society, would be wrong as the sentence contains many other entities and the context too has to be clarified. We will analyze the whole sentence and try to understand what is meant out of it, in context of the location in the scripture, and as explained by Hindu saints. The above lines are said by the Sea Deity ‘Samudra’ to Lord Rama. When Lord Rama got angry and took out arms in order to disappear the whole sea, the deity appeared and said above lines in context of boundaries that are created by God himself in order to hold his creations. Even sea resides in its boundaries and accordingly to go cross it, Rama administered the construction of famous Rama Setu Bandh the track of which exists even today. The metaphors are used to convince the reader that material or non-matter, unaware or capable, animal or human, all need to understand the importance of boundaries of nature. The accurate meaning of the sentences even out of the context goes as:
Let us understand the scholastic meaning of ‘Tadana’ first. The word is of abstract meaning and can mean many things. Directly it means scolding or annotating so as to reserve the soul intact. Indirectly, it is thought as a boundary of society or family that holds a member of the family hardly everciety within its meaning.
‘Dhol’ means drum – it needs to be beaten, but in boundaries of rhythm to produce beauty of music, otherwise it becomes harsh ruckus.
‘Gawanr’ manner ‘Ignorant and illiterate’ – they absence to be held in the inspected border and controllable limits, or else they would establish destruction out of means of livelihood.
‘Shudra’ means ‘Worker classes – they need to be guided so that they do not create muff of their work.
‘Pashu’ means animal – they need to be controlled. ‘Nari’ means ‘Woman’ – they need to be kept in the boundary of culture, as they are more important pillar of a house, society and nation than men.
Thus, the complete sentence means within environment of the story, as Drum, Ignorant, Illiterates, Animals and Women are should to respect boundaries, so the sea also has its boundaries in respect and powers ought not be forced to destabilize those boundaries – this is what is told by the deity. I surprise, instead of focusing on the real fact approximately how miles long bridge was constructed in those days over the sea (the bridge now being proven through the images from NASA and carbon dating for its age), a technology not known to modern world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the commentators diverts the focus with wrong meanings to defame Indian values.
‘Sati’, as the myth too relates to women whose thoughts are always assured, whose actions are not incredulous, who regards her husband more than God, and who is purest in her existence. Actually, writers of Hindu txt had deep-routed thoughts behind such concept which was not understood at social class in modern world and occasional incidences as an opportunity to political and other religious practitioners were linked with ‘Sati Pratha’.
Women had been of maximum regards in Hindu society. And this was exactly what Swami Vivekanand acquainted while he was queried to distinguish west and east on this floor; he said, ‘In west, every woman other than a mommy is a wife. But in India, every woman other than a wife is a mother’. Let the world show one country other than India, one society other than Hindu society that has moral as high as this. Which society would give so high regard to women, when she is called as Goddess Laxmi of the house where she dwells? Women enjoy the position of a deity, in most of the Hindu houses. Correlating the entire culture to few occasional incidences, which are criminal acts, would be absolutely wrong, diverting and intentional towards defaming the maximum value society of the world.
Women are the pillars of a house. If they divert towards un-homely deeds, it is for sure that breakdown of the family would outcome. Indians believe that naturally, women are created extra mighty then men. Men are stronger, yet women are more powerful (In Hindu society, women are phoned ‘Shakti Swaroop’, meaning Goddess of Power). Strength and power are two alter appearances. Strength persists in body, when power is a cerebral property. Tolerance capability of women distant exceeds men and it requires cerebral power to bear accentuate. Men are weak towards women, and this adds immensely to women’s power.
Women ness in India is a excellent duty. Women are the reputation of any house. People in India transform dangerously offensive if some outer man tries to neglect their sister, mother, wife or any relation that belongs to them.
Everything depends on the prescience of people and this perception is directly created by education system and social culture in which an individual grows. Honor and respect are a part of such perceptions and self-respect is the highest form of it. It depends on our perception how we absence to see towards ourselves. If a woman is sure to find herself as an honorable lady, she has to at all price nourish her dignity in her actions first. She has to see herself as a respectable woman first. Respect is a boundary and cannot be achieved by breaking through the wall of social culture and natural distinctions. Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ‘Sati’ word in Hinduism is an exact replica of such perception where a lady’s self-respect is maintained at highest state.
Unfortunately, the western civilization during and afterward invasion percolated deep, wrecking through the Indian beliefs. Culture of self-respect by practice of holding amounts was abolished beneath the shroud of English pedagogy and western life-style. Perceptions are stronger in framing personality. Women started believing in their so emerging freedom of subsistence and lost their self-dignity premier by categorizing Indian values for old scraps. What immediately appears to modern women as a boundary of religious belief is actually an momentous cultural regard which they are parting from their identity. Indian women were ever free, they merely understood annexed definition of her narratives with family, ahead or after matrimony, and veteran a very important attribute of life – ‘Adjustment’ which is not base in anyone destabilized family, society, or country. And who can veto the depth of this notion. No entity in this world exists without realizing the meaning of Adjustment. Adjustment in uncomplicated terms means compromising with one amuse in order to accomplish or let realize variant. Thus, Indian women in categorizing Indian values as scrap premier concession in their Originality and adapt to adopt the beliefs of emigrants. It is important to know that I call these as beliefs for there is no laws governing these varieties of life styles and they are bordered under perceptions. Indian women are prepared to adjust with what has proven to be failure in western society, but not with the responsibilities which has ever certified to be the reason of stability of families in India.
Some people simply thinks that one talking about Indian values and concepts like ‘Sati’ and all are against literacy and relates to blind faith or old faith prevalent in archaic times. They believe the time has changed and hence people must change and hence the adoption of western culture is in process. But there is serious fault that is committed by such mentalities – they have not understood the fundamental of how cultures in a country amplify. First, whether antique or modern, climatic conditions vary between West and East, particularly Indian air has a different blend than the climate variance in western countries. Secondly, geographical conditions hugely vary among the nations. Third, availability of natural resources also varies. There are many more conditions under which cultures are shaped, but these 3 conditions are ample to understand that the living conditions of creatures are hugely dependent on them. Thus, while in India, we have enough sources of Gold and money was not a needful standard of existence, culture adult around perception. And hence, if the concept of ‘Sati’ has erupted in Hindu scriptures, it cannot be meaningless, old or scrap. After all, the country has seen families thriving unbroken for thousands of years on same concept, unlike the West where parting is a very common solution. Thus, omitting with a conclusion that ‘Sati’ is an old word, is not a reasonable answer to denounce it.
In any country, cultural identity of women is her true value. Unfortunately, under the canvas of modern education, women in India no more understands the meaning of ‘Sati’ as she no more holds that power. The true meaning of independence is lost and what is realized is the independence to do all wrong acts. If a woman is asked to respect and regard her elders, it is considered as boundary and conservativeness. If a woman is found to be in complete faith with her husband, she is like a religious lady. What is practiced now in terms of independence is the competence of a woman to murder her values, her dignity, and her identity. For her, freedom now means the opportunity to commit acts that can satisfy her lusts. She is now expected to push freely with men other than husband and commit all that suits her lusts. The culture to shape correct lusts is perished. The culture to grant fulfillment of extravagant desires now dominates.
If she lives with the belief that her husband is God, the whole community lives with the feeling that every woman is the Goddess. She is the ‘Laxmi’ (Goddess of Wealth and Peace) of her house and her house progresses on her constructive behavior. And we all know respect and regards are not entities of demand. Westerners admit to this proverb, but do not practice them at hunk level. Hindu society does this with to the nines. What regards and respect can be more perfect, complete and greater than the one rendered towards God? At one go, it seems to be men prevailed society, but in reality is brings out women with equal domination and respect. It is not that there is no dispute among wife and husbands. But then disputes are meant to be stable by matured people. Diversities are meant to be mingled. Separation is never a solution. ‘Sati’ was a well proven and adopted preventions culture against Separation.
The law of nature says that which comes easy goes accessible, without afflict no acquire, perseverance is the opener to all success, tolerance and patience is the respond to toughest problems. ‘Sati’ is a concept that shapes a woman around such hard ways of making life prolific. The nature of shaping women is going against this. The so called advancement shrinks the broadened idea of human being social and responsible creature. Advancement might impact our living standards, but it doesn’t impacts our life in any manner. Life is a separate entity and it has nothing to do with this technology advancement. We take birth, we grow and we die is a natural phenomena. Technology has nothing to do with this. Desire is a natural phenomena where a need is created towards satisfaction of some physical or and mental provocation. Fulfillment of desire without being in synch to natural laws, the laws of humanness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the law of women ness, would surely guide to short term pleasure but long term devastation. And this is what is seen in most of the families. Marriages break away so lightly. And why not should it break? After all, the meaning of marriage is achieved many before marriage and what remains after marriage is simply a reiteration of formed mechanical behavior. Feeling dies out even before it is established. Faith dies out even before it could be realized. Love dies out even before it could be felt. Husband is no more a peerless person, he is another person in contrast to someone in past – better or aggravate. He becomes comparable and there is not restrict to this concept. Naturally, somebody is always better than you. If you are the best gymnast, you are not the best dancer. If you are the best singer technically, someone would sound sweeter than you. If you are the noblest one, someone is the most smart one. Actually, this difference exists in individual perception. Nature has actually created everybody same but every perception is different. So, if a melody is the sweetest for me, may be agitating for other. A beautiful face for me may not be that attractive for other. Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nature has the capacity to create these perception patterns apparently in every creature. And this is what is poised in a Hindu society with the concept of ‘Sati’. ‘Sati’ makes a woman live with the perception that her husband is the best and the only one for her. Is this perception wrong or right? Is she actually limiting her thoughts by analytic so? I believe no – the shock of such philosophy is tremendously constructive. She becomes positive in her behaviknow next to nothing of strongly that she earns the power to conquer over Nature and God. Practicing this philosophy is not effortless and it requires persistence, tolerance, insistence, adore, truthfulness and faith to be in temperament which defines a woman. Isn’t it thrilling to even imagine that the whole Indian society constituted of such great women.
We need to understand what does a Hindu mean when he says that the Husband is God for a woman. We should not simply declare it absurd. I will try to dig into its rationality. While going through Bhagwad Geeta, I found a different description of God there. The chapter explains the meaning of God acquiring the non-material world. Some of the excerpts of Lord Krishna’s words are, “Of the radiant Sun, I am the luminaries, of the senses I am the idea and comprehension in alive beings, I am the quality of best among the best existences. Of the bodies of water, I am the Ocean,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of the mountains I am the Meru, of lordly elephants I am Airavata, of men the throne. I am the beginning, I am the medium and I am the end. I am the sacred attributes of all realizations; there is no end to the particulars of my declarations.” No where does this tell about any physical fashion of God. Hence, it is necessitated to correlate such definitions of God to Hindu aspects. And I found the meaning of a husband God.
For centuries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hindu societies have seen stable married relations. The stability is long lasting because roots are deeper. A Hindu relation doesn’t exist as a simple human interaction. Most of the worldly relation breaks deserving to unfaithful behavior executed by partners. Unable to hold upon the senses, partners go beyond relations to unfold more powerful thoughts and actions. And to give this social behavior a polite place, other religious believers cover it with the color of gender parity. Unlike the concept of equality, a Hindu society realizes the importance of men and women to be different and as defined by nature. For a man, going beyond his wife for unauthorized relations is considered as sin and the same for a woman. The sin is the boundary that binds a Hindu family. For a woman, she recognizing her husband as a God binds her to believe that whatever she has got is complete manliness and she is leap in her perceptions to learn practicing complete mental and physical satisfaction. A woman cannot mallet to one human, unless she has the highest regard for him. And accordingly, for a Hindu woman, her husband is the most intelligence person; he is the Meru, the Airavata, the king. He is the beginning and the end. He is anything for her. The meaning of God is realized in such regarded relation. And accordingly the family persists in stable and satisfied conditions. A women respecting and practicing this concept is considered as a ‘Sati’. This no where means that she should not live if her husband dies? This no where means that she should be burnt with her husband? It is disgusting to understand that such unauthorized instances are attached to the high spirit of a Hindu.
