I don't know if those oafs were ever persecuted, but if this person
was a Bahai: Indian Government would have had hell to pay for in the
international forumns for this if they did not punish the criminals.
UN resolution would have been passed to throw anybody out of the Government
who wants to protect such oafs and then come in UN forumns and preach
democracy. One day when we grow we will erect a monument for him and

 Some say love it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor, that leads your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower, and you it's only seed
 
It's the dream afraid of waking, that never learns to dance
It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never takes the chance 
It's the one who won't be takem, who can not learn to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live
 
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only, for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring
Becomes the rose

Ravi K. Prasanth obviously has a problem with my name

see you object to posters who expressed similar opinions
regarding the "religious" pourings in this group.

As far as seeing only the negative aspects of religions,
I don't see what "collective" good they have done for
humanity.  If anything they have aided in tearing nations
apart creating hatred between various groups.  On the other
hand science has aided humans in several aspects of LIFE
(not some abstract soul that people have trouble comprehending)
YOU wouldn't be at your terminal today or better still in this
country via PLANE or SHIP or whatever without science and

ENLIGHTEN this group as to what religion has done for human
beings wihtout going into salvation, eternal life, rebirth ,

NNTP-Posting-Host: function.mps.ohio-state.edu

I am writing this at midnight, with few references by my side. Caveat Emptor

Vedic works, and the dharma sastras do not mandate Sati. Some consider it
acceptable, some do not. The difference seems to be the time and place where
the dharma sastra was written.

The most famouse quote on this from the RgVeda is 10.18.6 (?): It says
something like "Rise woman, and joing the living; lifeless is the one
by whose side you are". Some consider this to be a remnant of Sati that
had become obsolete by 1000 B.C. The literal interpretation is that Sati was
not practised.

Sati-like practises were known elsewhere, especially among Scythians and other
nomads of Central Asia. In fact, some authors have suggested that the
popularity of Sati among Rajputs is due to their presumed descent from
Sakas and related peoples. I believe that Egyptians sealed the pyramids with
a large retinue inside (they were still alive, allowing them to escape, if
they could). So the question becomes, why was Sati continued till much later
in India than elsewhere. For that, I have no good answer.

I know stores in all major cities for photography spares like batteries,
film, etc. However, things are more expensive there. It may help to know
that Lithium batteries have a long shelf life, so you can take a whole
bunch of them with you.

>Otherwise, the Nikon 8008s, seems better,
>   .. it takes 4AA batteries,.. but it is way too expensive.

I believe the major difference between Nikon 80008 and Canon Elan are:

* Elan has scan type programs, unlike the chips. You can load 5 programs
  at a time and there are 40 or so programs available. Although, you don't
  need all of them.
* Elan is the ONLY SLR AF camera that comes with a built-in remote
  trigger. This helps when you want to be in the picture!
* Elan has a dial as opposed to push-button for chosing various functions.
  This is a convenient design if not a big deal!

     PUBLISHED:  New Delhi : Viking : Penguin Books India, 1990.

         TITLE:  Sati : a historical, social and philosophical enquiry into the
                   Hindu rite of widow burning
        AUTHOR:  Datta, V. N. (Vishwa Nath), 1926-
     PUBLISHED:  New Delhi : Manohar, 1988.
         TITLE:  Sati : historical and phenomenological essays
        AUTHOR:  Sharma, Arvind.
       EDITION:  1st ed.

  Additions to the list would be most welcome. Evidently it is a complicated
subject.
