Some biased and outdated elements have inserted the ruling in the scriptures that the recitation of Vedic Mantras are forbidden for women because women have no intellectual scope for understanding Vedas.

Some even take advantage of the physical dissimilarities of man and woman. The women menstruate every month. Instead of taking it merely as a biological process effort was made to create a notion that it was a kind of disability or an unclear process that defiled the female body. A verdict was concocted that she was unfit to participate in any sacred act or religious custom.

We should remember that Vedas preach ‘Where women are not worshiped there God does not exist.’ This is the basic Vedic principle. Then, where is the room for orders that try to treat women as lowly creatures who do not deserve any religious honour? 

Their ability to read and pronounce mantras a correctly as males can not be questioned. There is no scientific ground to believe that mantras voiced at different pitches make any difference to their effect or the meaning.

Shastras infact rule that even three apex Gods of Hinduism; Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the products of the supreme female force Mahamaya. All the energies and powers are represented by the goddesses. In such liberal philosophy where is the place for such arrogant gender bias?
