Guru Amardas Guru Amar Das ji, the 3rd guru of Sikhs, raised the status of women and gave them equality with men video journalist : jaspreet Kaur Topic : Banning of Sati The status of women in Hindu society at that time was very low. When the husband died, the wife either voluntarily burnt herself on the pyre of her husband or was thrown into the fire without her consent. In popular term the woman who did perform this act was called Sati (truthful). Guru Amar Das carried out a vigorous campaign against the practice of Sati. He gave special attention to the improvement of the status of women and thus prohibited this practice. G.B. Scott acclaims the Guru as the first reformer who condemned the prevailing Hindu practice of Sati. The Guru advocated the following: "Satis are not those who are burnt with husbands, O Nanak, true Satis are whom pangs of separation can finish. Those are considered Satis who live contented, embellish themselves with good conduct; And cherish the Lord ever and call on Him." (Var Suhi ki- Slok Mohalla 3, p-787) The Guru lifted the status of women as equal to men. He prohibited the practice of Sati and preached in favor of widow marriage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #sikhhistory #guruamardas #gurbani #women #savegirlchild #respectgirls (ਤਾਜ਼ੀਆਂ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਖਬਰਾਂ,ਸਿੱਖ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ,ਦਿਲਚਸਪ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਵੀਡੀਓ ਦੇਖਣ ਲਈ ਸਾਡਾ Youtube Channel Subscribe ਕਰੋ ਜੀ ਅਤੇ ਨਾਲ Bell ਦਾ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਵੀ ਦਬਾਓ) Subscribe Our Youtube Channel for Daily Updates and New Videos.
