Shani’s shani
Its history made in a tiny village
in Maharashtra. Women let in to….. No forced their way into the Shani temple of
shingnapur. Reforms and transformations had been a part of Hinduism, which is
proved by its very existence from times immemorial as it is natures law that
whatever resists change (evolution) will perish. So one fact made clear
Hinduism is going to thrive for long.
But Shani
who is known to take people for a ride from the days of Nala &
Harishchandra faced the music. Did u know no house in Shingnapur village have doors,
the reason being a strong belief that Shanidev protected them. As Shani’s time
went bad he had to be given few tiers of protection by armed policemen.
With
acquired strength, legal support and media coverage the activists have turned
attention to other shrines where they feel discrimination exists. First being sabarimala.
Though
believers say, the diety is a “Brahmachari” and follows it as a vow, menstruating women should stay away. Activists and elite panelists of various
TV channels feel it is discrimination against womanhood. It is very difficult
to convince them as they are determined not to be convinced. So let events
happen the way it is going to be. The activists will approach courts and get a
ruling, politicians will be cautious in taking sides, strong Devasom board will
find difficult to balance belief with reality and may succumb to pressure. Now
the other way, nothing to worry income will double for the super rich shrine
with increased foot fall, infrastructure and security concerns will get privilege
at the shrine to accommodate women.
“Believers
will continue to believe, Reformers will continue their reforms”- here again
natures law comes into actions (Survival Of The Fittest) Strong believes
prevail others perish. One belief will remain TALL and STRONG that’s HINDUISM by
assimilating all reforms changes criticisms and revolts.

Thought the other way round
