While reading Vishnu Puranam I came across a word.
Ayonija
I can crudely translate that into, a girl not born through the female genital organ (Yoni).
It was startling to read, coz it means several possibilities.
Narration of the birth of a special girl by Soma (the moon god) reads as follows,
"...she sweated a lot and she wiped her sweat drops using the leafs of a plant. The "Garba" (the sperm-ova in her womb) came out through her sweat. She left to Indralokha. The "Garba" stayed in the leaves. The trees protected her. Then aided by Vayu, the trees and by me ( I used my rays to nourish her), she grew up to be a beautiful girl"
Does it refer to pollination, since according to our knowledge that is the nearest thing we can associate with it. Vayu (the wind) transporting pollen grains from one plant to another and the grains growing up to be plants.
Our Indian scriptures recognize even plants have life. This might have meant for them too. I mean the subject of this narration could be plants. But the word Ayonija is quite startling.
The Garba - we can call the combo of sperm and ova - seems to have been swept away by wind, incubated by trees and nourished by the moon light. Is it some kind of technology to produce human beings?
Has the modern science created an 'Ayonija' or an 'Ayonijan'?
Moving account indeed. Its hard to take steps. Dont know how to stop these kind of henious acts by people.

ReplyDeleteStrong punishments. In my opinion, only fear can prevent a man from doing anything. I don't believe in the call of the human rights associations, or those who are calling such, that capital punishment is not necessary. It should be even gruesome that even people should not think about doing such heinous crime.
ReplyDeleteLet us reduce poverty. Let us educate the girl child.
ReplyDeleteOne side there are this craving for money and comfort kind of gals who are ready to give their flesh.
And then there are those innocents. The innocents whom the society should not ignore, whom the government
should help. There should surely be protection for those who want it. 24/7
The more and more we dig in, we will get to see several such true stories. There was one such true story in "How I taught my Grandmother to read" where a small boy sells his sister who is two years older than him. Small cildren. Innocent children.
We know the vulnerabilities of innocence. The innocent have to be taken care.
