What can we learn about women in Indian History and Mythology? What do you understand by Ardhnareshwar? Women's Day Special!


Kunti, Pandus wife, was a powerful woman. She mastered the art and skill of invoking gods to create humans civilization without any biological interference of a man. In fact, her being a mother to Karan proved that a woman alone had the capacity to create the human world.  Men, on the contrary, in their subconscious, has this inferiority complex when it comes to the realisation of this strength in a women and he ,therefore, in order to level himself up to her displays his control and physical power  and this as a matter of fact is the result of creation of the day called  the “Women’s Day”.
It was Sita’s power of endurance that propelled Rama to sacrifice her and build an image for himself as Maryada Purushottam. The forbearance of a female cannot be less compared to the depth of the sea. India has been a feminine country since time immemorial. Feminism is a representation of inner treasure one has the attribute  of  love, sacrifice, endurance, perseverance and  service, which are the female aspects in all human beings  weather a man or a women  used to be predominant in India. Masculinity is determined by the physical strength and the exhibition of ego. Men of valour are never divided in themselves. The Ardhnareshwar signified that a man is incomplete in the absence of feminity in him.
India is a country that faced severe aggression. It is the inner strength of tolerance in each woman of this country that she continued to support the transformation even in the darkest of hour. Woman today is no less than what she was ages back.  Her role may have transformed from being a home maker to being the CEO, but intensity of passion for her work, her love for people and family remains the same.
