This is the question in everyone’s mind. We all know women are not
allowed to perform last rites (Antim Sanskar) of her own people. This is the
only right for a son (Putra)? Let’s understand this today the facts and truths
behind it.
Women are to be worshiped, women are always the first reason for creation, women are deity (devi), women are mother (mata), as per Vedas. But in today’s world they are refrained from last rites of her loved ones and not even allowed to go the crematorium (samsan).
We can only see the difference in our defense system, whenever a soldier dies and if he has only daughter and wife,
his wife or daughter comes forward for his funeral.
Our so called saints (pandit), spreading these rumors that if
woman perform final rites, the dead person won’t get heaven (swarga) or freedom
(mukti). What about saints?? Saints are the great devotees of Lord, they don’t
marry, no family, worship Lord throughout their lives, so they won’t get heaven
(swarga) or freedom (mukti)? What about orphans? So this is completely
illogical we can understand.
There is NO scripture where it is written clearly that only a son
(putra) can perform antim sanskar (final rites). Whereas, In Vedas it is
written for queen that, in absence of the king, a queen can perform everything
in place of the king, can take care of the kingdom and her subject or army. Even
she can fight in war if king is dead or absent.
If we look into history we have proof for that. All we know about Jhansi Rani Laxmibhai, she is a great example.
What we can make out from this,
the same applies to a son, in absence of a son a daughter can perform his
activity and she can do everything that a son can.
We can’t find each and everything in Vedas or in other scriptures,
thus Lord has given us Budhi (intelligence). If everything would have been
written then Vedas might have acquired the full land space available on earth.
