BHAGAWAN'S QUOTATIONS ON WOMANHOOD

[Guest guest]

Women has been extolled in ancient Scriptures as well as classical poetry as

Grihalaxmi the Goddess of prosperity in the home. She is Dharmapathni who

accompanies the husband in the fulfilment of the duties and rights of wedded

life as a house holder.

The mother is the pillar of the home, of society, of the nature and so of

humanity itself. Mothers must know the secret of mental peace, of inner

silence, of spiritual courage,of contentment, which is the greatest wealth and

of adhyatmic discipline, which gives lasting joy!

Abala does not mean lack of physical or mental strength. The wife can veritably

make the home of her husband a temple, a school, a Council-Chamber or a

hermitage.

Maharanis watch the world from inner apartments of the palace through

interstices in the walls or enclosure. They can see but they are safe from

'other eyes'. That is the highest Stridharma as laid down in the Sasthras! you

should not be seen or talked about.You must be away from public gaze. You must

be silent invisible partners and inspires and teachers.

Women are the mothers of the coming generation. They are the teachers of that

generation during the first five years of life! The mother is the first of the

five Mathas(mothers) that the Indian child encounters!.

1) Deha Matha: The mother that gives birth to this body. 2) Go-Matha: The cow

that gives sustaining milk. 3) Bhoo-Matha: The land that grows crops which

feed the body. 4) Desa-Matha: The native Country mother land,that gives

protection,love,rights and chances to serve and elevate oneself to one's full

height. 5) Veda-matha: The heritage of spiritual treasure,that reveals the

aim and purpose of human life and takes one,step by step towards the goal of

self realisation.

Women are the makers of the home,the nation and the world. You are the mothers

who shape the generation. So you must enshrine in your hearts the spiritual

urge towards light and love, Wisdom and Bliss !

Instruct the women of the village in the basic principles of child

health,chile-care and child training. When health fails,people become

despondent and even desperate. When health prevails,vitality pervades both mind

and body. By the process of loving service,you can become the promoters of much

joy. Do not consider any act of service as demeaning !

Modesty and devotion to God are real jewels for woman kind. The feminine is the

foundation on which a peaceful and happy world is to be raised. When women are

true,brave,kind and compassionate the World can have an era of peace and joy!

Woman is not meant to surpass man nor to be trampled under foot.She should stand

as his equal not merely to nurse him but also as his companion in his joys and

sorrows in life! People call women weak.Do not believe it. Having all these

strong points in your favour, intelligence, discipline,spiritual

capacity,consciousness of others excellences, awareness of ones faults,

eagerness to improve your self. How can you be called weak? You are the leaders

!

A woman has to maintain her house,she is not only the house wife but on

her,depends the glory of the whole Country! That is why we say "This is our

mother land".It is in this spirit we refer to our country as BHARATHA MATHA. We

also find that women are given the first position when they are associated with

their counter parts as in Sita Rama, Lakshmi Narayana, Radha Krishna, Parvathi

Parameshwara !

Mother hood is the most precious gift of God.Mothers are the makers of a

nation's fortune or misfortune, for they shape the sinews of its soul. Those

sinews are toughened by two lessons, they should teach fear of sin and fondness

for virtue. As the mother, so the progress of the nation., As the mother, so the

sweetness of culture !.

India had many great women whose virtue and wisdom extolled through the

centuries. Sitha, Savithri, Gargi, Anasuya, Dhamayanthi, are women who are

installed in the hearts of millions of people who worship them; they draw

inspiration from them when confronted with calamity and crisis. They were full

of unsullied love towards all who suffered. They were ready to serve the poor

and distressed; they were so steady in their faith in God, that they put up

with the direst misery in joy ful submission to His will.

 

Respect for women is a sign of real culture "The centre of every home must be

the shrine room!" the fragrance of flower and incense,emanating from this must

pervade the home and purify it. The mother must set the example in holding out

the shrine as the heart of the house hold! She must enforce discipline over the

children in personal cleanliness in humility and hospitality, in good manners

and acts of service.

Mothers of those days were women of great piety and noble character. They

practiced virtue and set an example to the children! only from the wombs of

such noble women were born sons of high character!

If mothers take care of the homes on right lines they will be protecting the

nation. Mothers should foster in the children, love for truth, righteousness

and tell them stories about the lives of greatmen and women.In old times elders

used to tell the young children, all about the nation's great heroes and

saints.Where are such elders today?

 

In this phenomenal world whatever pleasures and satisfactions one may derive

elsewhere, if there is no joy at home,it becomes a veritable hell. The home is

heaven itself.It is the duty of women to maintain it as such.

Cultivate a sweet temper and the sweet speech which is its natural consequence.

Speak without anger or spite without any artificiality or formality straight

from the heart.then you will be spreading joy and love among all.

The greatest beauty aid for women is virtue - Seelam

Women have satvaguna in ample measure, They are by nature helpful, tender,

compassionate, humble and trustful. Next, they also have a good measure of

Thamoguna, they are timid, shy and non enterprising. It is good that women are

such. They have been endowed with only a small measure of Rajoguna! This is the

general truth!
