Women : Pujya Gurudev

Restore Women to their Rightful Status of High Esteem 

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

The Scripture says, "It is woman who creates man. The creative power of woman should be rightly understood." Man is born from woman’s womb. Mother is the Childs first teacher. A drop of fathers semen is only the cause; the whole body and organs are formed by mothers blood. Childs body, mind and character are formulated according to the qualities, traits and character contained in her blood and her health, talents, trend of thinking and sentiments. If women remain unhealthy, uneducated, undeveloped, uncultured, dependent and pitiable, the children born of them will be afflicted with these flaws. Barren land cannot yield rich crop. If an orchard yielding good crop of fruits is to be made, it needs soil of good quality. If humanity wants to progress, it is essential to make women develop their talents and capabilities in physical, intellectual, social and economic fields.

Only then can qualities like strength, competency, noble sense, virtue, greatness etc. develop in society. Keeping women chained in backwardness is doing grievous harm to society. Society consists of two parts  men and women. Efforts are made for betterment, comfort and safety of man, but woman is lagging behind in every field. As a result, half of our nation, half of the society, half of the world, half of the family, half of the life force remains backward. If a cart is fitted with one bigger and one smaller wheel or one big and one small bullock are yoked together, they can't work properly. Our country, society and community cannot be deemed developed in the true sense, so long as women do not get the opportunity to develop their potential, intelligence and talents. 

To-day mans distrust, restrictions, narrow mindedness, etc. toward women are very much visible. We distrust all women  be they our sisters, daughters, wives or mothers  and think that they would become profligate, if allowed to live unfettered natural lives. Under this false apprehension, all their simple natural human urges are suppressed and heavily fettered. To view our own sisters and daughters as unworthy of trust is a much more heinous sin than distrusting our own self and our own soul. This degraded mentality is totally against the greatness and magnanimity inherent in the Indian culture.

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
