Place of women/Shakti in India
Shakti, Goddess, Durga, there are tonnes of names of the feminine power in Indian Culture where this cosmos came from. It is very unfortunate of this society that we are living in a society where we need women empowerment kind of a program to make women stronger.
Fortunately, we are living in a culture
where not only men but also women are worshipped. There are two schools of
thought (ideologies) one is of gender
equality and the other is gender diversity. India
is a nation where women were not equal to men (Don’t take it literally) women were having a
special place in our culture that is beyond comparison. No one can compare
women to anything that’s why we worship feminine power.
So the idea of gender equality (that
says the woman is equal to man) is rubbish! Equality is a term that comes from
the West. Western culture is not having that concept of feminine god. This idea
can be understood by the fact that nature has given different and special
capabilities to men and women differently. Both the type of human can’t be
compared at any level.
Goddess has an exceptional managerial
quality that helps to make the world balanced. That is the reason behind the
presence of the feminine goddess with all the trinity of Indian Culture
(Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva).
To create the world Brahma needs Saraswati (The knowledge), to
maintain the world Vishnu wants Lakshmi (The wealth) and similarly to destroy
the world Shiva needs Shakti (The power). That is the indication that God needs
Goddess to create, maintain and destroy the cosmos, which defines the place of
feminine power in Indian Culture.
Women are not a subject of comparison
and it is our immaturity when we compare them because if that is not correct
then God would not make men and women different. Next time when we think about
women keep in mind that they are not equal to men, they deserve a lot more than
men and they are very different than men. Respect women in
society in the same
way as we worship the form of Goddess in
temples.
