<font size="2">so during her convo with Ram she was trying to find examples to prove her point...remember she said the whole stri samaj was going through the same plight,she could not find any inspiring female role model so she took the example of female animals.this is my pov.</font>
<font size="2">And coming to bull worship...here in Bengal the bull is the vahan of Mahishasur...</font>
Btw what is your name Rex or Ryan??

ankita you are right in your pov ...and my point was different still in present world people look at animals for examples ...they are quoted in different context ...female equality is one of them
coming to name rex_ryan is my user name not real one ...ryan is preferred by majority here ...you can call me which one you prefer ...

Rex When sita talked about the nature of the beast she mainly focused on the nature of a mother who nourishes and protects her child both in her womb and in the outside world. She clarifies that she was not talking about herself but the general perceptions of a woman held by the society.
As for using the animal analogy, Vishnu himself has taken the form of a fish, a tortoise, a Boar, and even that of a half lion. All our gods have animals and birds as vahans who are revered by the devotees {Nandi, Garud }.
The beauty of Hinduism is that it expresses the basic belief that both plants and animals too have the divine aspect, the essence of the universal soul, doesn't it?
Your post was both interesting and novel. so thank you for making me think about this aspect.

yes Savita...you are right ...it is the beauty of hinduism that it values every aspect of nature, its every component...moreover hinduism keeps on evolving with changing time and society ...they welcome every good point, culture, practice whole heartily+keeps its basic values intact ...(if we left some over conservatives of present society)
