dear ashwin, even if u try you cannot mock the lord. dont have such grave misgivings. secondly to understand the concept behind agnipariksha, brains are required. it was NOT to denigrate sita,it was to redeem her honour. If your wife is kidnapped and kept by bandits for 2 years and then she comes back..YOU WILL CLIMB THE ROOF OF YOUR HOUSE AND SHOUT ON LOUDSPEAKER THAT SHE IS STILL UNTOUCHED. Otherwise YOU wont touch her brother. pretend as much as you want, but we all know the truth, dont we?
