Devadasi system still prevalent among Hindus; stop it: Supreme Court

February 13, 2016

devdasi New Delhi, Feb 13: Condemning the prevalence of the illegal practice of “dedicating” young girls as Devadasis in Hindu society, the Supreme Court on Friday described the practice as an “evil” done to women, who were later even subjected to sexual exploitation and pushed into prostitution.

Taking a stern view, a Bench of Justices F.M.I. Kalifulla and S.A. Bobde directed all States and Union Territories, especially Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, to strictly enforce the Centre’s to check “undesired and unhealthy” practice of forcing young girls to serve as Devadasis.

A devadasi is a girl “dedicated” to worship and service of a deity or a temple for the rest of her life. The dedication takes place in a ceremony which is similar in some ways to marriage. In most of the cases devadasis are being used as prostitutions.

Now all like minded should unite and eradicate all the malpractices in the name of religion like :

- Caste system- Upper, lower, Dalit etc.....
- Praying multiple Gods, also praying to Devils, Ghosts
- Fortune telling like horoscope. These can be seen on many Indian TVs.
- Telling the man made stories - that God and giants fight and God is loosing.
- Madai snana in Karanataka,
- Devadasi system in most of the South Indian states

Generally, stick to Vedas and practice it. These are more convincing than man made other books.

The best thing is if you found practical and true, get and follow from other religions.

Where are Ram sena, Bajarangadal ,VHP,ABVP.......? Why not Hindu is ondu in this case. Why not crocodile tears in this case. Wake up fear real creator.

Prostitution Racket using God's Name.. Sick people. This is bcoz of false believes.. Gvt should enforce BAN on it. many poor girls are trapping under this false believes.

Would they agree with SC? May be the order has to come from Nagpur and its never going to happen.

TO those who are ARROGANT
ALLAH says in QURAN: O MANKIND, We have created YOU from a male and a female and have made YOU into nations and tribes for YOU to know ONE another. Truly, the noblest of YOU with God is most PIOUS. Truly, God is all KNOWING, All AWARE - QURAN 49:13
Islam REJECTS certain individuals or nations being favored b'cos of their wealth, power or RACE. ALLAH created human beings as EQUALS who are to be distinguished from each other only on the basis of their faith and PIETY.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said : O people! Your God is ONE and YOUR forefather (Adam) is ONE. An ARAB is NOT better than a NON-ARAB & a NON-ARAB is not better than an ARAB, and a White person is not better than a BLACK person & a BLACK person is not better than a WHITE person EXCEPT BY GOOD DEEDS & PIETY.
Do YOU know even DALITS also should not be looked down.... If U guys continue to oppress people & did not recognise the true God surely HELL will be the destination. Please READ what God speaks its not just for high class.. everyone can access to GOD's word.

Bengaluru, Jan 24: Karnataka High Court on Friday ordered notice to the state government and self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda while hearing a petition seeking cancellation of bail granted to him.

A petition was filed in the Karnataka High Court on Friday seeking cancellation of bail granted to Nithyananda for skipping the trial and fleeing the country.

Justice John Michael Cunha, after hearing the complainant, ordered issuance of notice to the state government and Nithyananda and posted the matter for hearing next week.

The petition, filed by K Lenin, alleged that Nithyananda has been skipping trial and has fled the country on an expired passport.

The plea further said that Nithyananda was making false representations in his "exemption petitions to the trial court as if he is still in India".

Interpol has also issued a 'blue corner notice' to locate the self-styled godman, who is facing trial in a criminal case, on the request of Gujarat Police.
