Sincerely, R. Gopalakrishnan, 78, Former AGM TelecomTrivandrum dated 04-12-2021 Q1 Which sloka in Devi-Mahatmiyam indicate that Devi is theGreat Goddess.? A1 This echoes Devi-Mahatmiyam prayer: By you this universeis borne, by you this world is created;y you it is protected,By you it isconsumed at the end,O Devi! You are the Supreme Knowledge, as well as intellectand contemplation... Without the grace of Saraswati, or Saraswati Kataksham, as itis called, Brahma cannot do a worthwhile job as the Creator. Any maintenanceactivity needs plenty of resources, mainly fiscal resources. So Lakshmi, theGoddess of Wealth, is an essential companion to Vishnu. Siva, as Destroyer,derives power and energy from Parvathi, or Durga as she is called Sakthi. It isonly the Hindu tradition, which provides, even at the conceptual level, thepicture of the male and female principles working together, hand in hand, asequal partners in the universe. Q2 What is the position ofRivers in Hindu life? A2 Hindus hold rivers in great reverence. The rivers are femaledivinities, food and life bestowing mothers. As such, they are prominentamong the popular divinities represented in the works of art of the classicalperiod The most holy of rivers, the best known and most honored, is theGanga or Ganges. She ispersonified as Goddess Ganga. The river rises from an ice bed, 13,800feet above the sea level in the Garhwal Himalayas. The river Saraswati is regarded as the mother god. Q3 What were the rulings onwomen protection during vedic times? A3 "Where womenare honored there the gods are pleased; but where they are not honored nosacred rite yields rewards," declares Manu Smriti (III.56) a text onsocial conduct. Women must be honored and adorned by their fathers, brothers,husbands and brothers-in-law, who desire their own welfare." (Manu SmritiIII, 55) "Where the female relations live in grief, the familysoon wholly perishes; but that family where they are not unhappy everprospers." (Manu Smriti III, 57). "The houses, on which female relations, not being dulyhonored, pronounce a curse, perish completely as if destroyed by magic."(Manu Smriti III, 58) Hence men, who seek their own welfare, should always honorwomen on holidays and festivals with gifts of ornaments, clothes, and daintyfood." (Manu Smriti III, 59) "If a husbanddies, a wife may marry another husband."If a husband deserts his wife, shemay marry another." (Manu, chapter IX, verse 77). "A woman's body," says Manu the lawgiver,"must not be struck hard, even with a flower, because it is sacred."It is for this reason that the Hindus do not allow capital punishment forwomen. It is the specialinjunction of the Vedas that no married man shall perform any religious rite,ceremony, or sacrifice without being joined in by his wife; the wife is considered a partaker and partner in thespiritual life of her husband; she is called, in Sanskrit, Sahadharmini,"spiritual helpmate." The husband should engage his wife in dharma, the collectionand expenditure of his wealth, in cooking food for the family, and in lookingafter the necessities of the household . . .. THE MOST IMPORTANT- Afather protects his daughter in childhood, a husband protects his wife inyouth, and the sons protect their mother in old age. The father who does not giveaway his daughter in marriage at the proper time is censurable; censurable is the husbandwho does not approach his wife in due season; and after the husband isdead, the son, verily is censurable, who does not protect his mother. Even against theslightest provocations should women be particularly guarded; for unguarded theywould bring grief to both the families. The epic Mahabharata says, "While a father issuperior to ten learned priests well-versed in the Vedas, a mother is superiorto ten such fathers, or the entire world." Two thousand years ago Saint Tiruvalluvar observed:"What does a man lack if his wife is worthy? And what does he possess ifshe is lacking worth?" There is more respect in the Hinduism for women andfor their role in society Women must be honored and adorned by their father, brothers,husbands, and brother-in-law who desire great good fortune. Where women, verilyare honored, there the gods rejoice; where, however, they are not honored,there all sacred rites prove fruitless. Where the female relations live ingrief, that family soon perishes completely; where, however, they do not sufferfrom any grievance that family always prospers. Q4 Which are the five types of air in the body? A4 Within the body, the main air which passesthrough the nose for breathing is called prana. The air which passes through the rectum asevacuated bodily air is called apana. The air which digests the foodstuffs in the stomach and which issometimes heard as belching is called amana.

Q5 Has any woman sage is relatedwith the veda works? A5 Yes -Several hymns of the RigVeda were composed by female Rishis (sages). Young ladies of the time had avoice in their marriage. "The woman who is of gentle birth and of gracefulform," so runs a verse in the Rig Veda, "selects among many of herloved one as her husband." Every hymn of the Rig-Veda is attributed to a rishi. Thoughthe majority of these hymns were the work of male Rishis, the Rig-Veda containshymns that were revealed by women seers also. The latter were called rishikas and brahmavadinis... Q6 What is the importance ofKanya dan? A6 Kanya means virgin girl (namely the bride). 'Daan´ meansgiving away.

These seven sages and their families are the originators ofthe Vedic Lore of the Hindus. In memoriam of these great sages we named theseven stars in the Great Bear constellation after their names.

THELEFT HAND: InHindu culture the left hand is considered impure because it is used (withwater) in the place of toilet paper for personal hygiene after answering thecall of nature.

HUGGINGAND EMBRACING:Hugging and embracing is found in Hindu culture; but it is restricted to closerelatives, Guru/disciples and associates that too in a private place. InMahabharatha and Ramayana we find this very often. Hugging and Embracingimproves pranic energy and this practice is not allowed with strangers. POINTINGWITH THE FORE FINGER of the right hand or shaking the forefinger inemphasis while talking is never done.
