Dear all,
Recently I gone through an article by Jakki Vasudev in which he wrote in vedic period women's were used to wear yagnjopaveetham and do santhyavanthanams's, etc.
He gave an example of Yagnavalkiar's wife Mythreyi, who married him after winning in a debate. I enquired about this with a sasthri and my uncle who were the followers of sukla yajurvedam. They confirmed this and said seetha also did santhyavanthanam while she was in ashokavanam.
I asked them if it is a vedic tradition why we are not allowing our girls to do that? But I didn't get right answer.
I asked the sasthri if it is dharma, i want to do it to my daughters. He told me I'm ready to that as I'm accepting, but after that nobody will treat me as vathiar for their functions. I have to survive.
Why I'm writing this so many seniors and knowledgable persons in this forum can give a solution and take steps to bringout the right dharmas to everyone to follow.
Our family is ready to do the upanayanam for my daughters if it is the right dharma. Please clarify.
My personal opions if the rights given back to our mathas the dharma will be protected.
