I read all of the message here and I'm ashamed of mentality shown here. Some say it is a centuries old (B.C.) tradition and its sanctity must be kept; it is God's tradition, blah blah... How do you know this is an ancient or God's tradition? You are simply following what you were told. Even if it is, should we stick to it? Is Hinduism what it was centuries back? Do you want women to go back and stay at home? How's it then different than radical Islam? I mean c'mon, we are in 21st century; man has landed on our Lord Moon. Lord Sun doesn't ride on a chariot around Mother Earth. Other lords are masses of gases, boiling liquids and plasma (i.e. planets). It is good to beleive in God and other beliefs, but is utmost shame to not adapt it to the reality. I pray to Lord Vishnu in many forms, but will not enter His temple where my mother, my wife and my daughter will not be allowed by priests and so called guardians of faith who are like rest of the human beings. It is not important if she entered the temple or not or if she is lying ; what is important is if this discrimation should exist anymore. All human beings are equal before God and lets champion that philosophy everywhere.
