Saint Rambhadracharya explained the meaning of WIFE – Wonderful Instrument For Enjoyment. The video went viral, allegations of anti-women remarks were made. Actually there was a cultural comparison. Controversy broke out on social media.
The thoughts of saints hold great importance in the society, but recently a video of Saint Rambhadracharya has gone viral. In the video, Saint Rambhadracharya is talking about the meaning of WIFE in foreign countries. He told that the full form of WIFE in English is – Wonderful Instrument For Enjoyment, which means calling the wife a means of entertainment. Whereas in India, the wife is called Goddess and Lakshmi, who performs Yagya with her husband and is the center of spiritual energy of the family.
It has also come to light on social media that this video has been edited. In the original video, Rambhadracharya had tried to explain the difference between western civilization and Indian culture. But after watching the viral video, people are alleging disrespectful attitude towards women. Some critics say that such statements are an insult to women and that it is wrong to describe them as a toy for pleasure. At the same time, supporters say that this was a cultural comparison, which was presented in a wrong way. In the video, Rambhadracharya also explained the religious importance of the wife, saying that in India, the wife performs Yagya with her husband and is not the subject of anything like honeymoon. K
It is clear from this whole matter that it is important to understand the statements of saints with social sensitivity, and attention should also be paid to the editing aspects of the video. Misunderstandings can create barriers, so factual checking is important when giving criticism. Rambhadracharya has been in the headlines in the past years also due to his controversial statements, which continue to become the subject of social discussions.
