Dear Lavanya, It is really people like you who degrade the value of women.I am a hindu and a strong believer of God but in no circumstances will I say that a woman is not allowed in a temple.And you say God is saying this....you are taking the name of God for saying and doing what you want to do.Women have the same rights as men.You on the other hand dont even have enough brains to understand the weightage of the statement made by jamie.Open your eyes man look around you,dont you have sisters, mother friends who are girls,teachers?They are as much a part of society as you are.It seems you come from a male dominated,narrow minded,low thinking family that you can make such an irrational comment.Think twice before saying anything(of course you need brains to think twice).
