Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi all, I have a question for Babaji, Shanracerji & also others. Why is Devi/Shakti considered to be more powerful than males, when from outward appearance males are always stronger than womens??? I always used to believe that for becoming powerful or acquiring strength one needs to worship male dieties, but my notion was proved wrong as who ever i came across said that to become powerful one needs to worship Devi or Shakti. I mean as Babaji said " From Cave-men's days, women were not strong enough for hunting " .. even today when you look at the Females & compare them physically to Mens, they are not stronger.. Take any sport for example..like Cricket, Tennis, Boxing.... females cannot challenge the men physically. Then why is it that to achieve strength or become powerful one needs to worship Devi rather than any male diety?? Thanks & Regards..

Your observation is one sided i.e. you are seeing the physical aspect only but what about emotional stability. For all his physical prowess when the male returns home he curls up with his wife or mother wherein he finds the emotional security. Have you seen a man losing his wife in a sickness or accident and then the male is shattered. He cannot cope up with the stark naked reality of life but when a woman loses her husband she survives and faces the life much much better than a male. I have seen old couples when their wives die within a year or two or maybe three the male also dies but when a husband dies the wife survives the ordeal and lasts longer than the male. Ultimately emotional strength is more stable and reliable. Physical is ofcourse needed but emotionally woman are stronger and therefore a man can always lean on her and survive the traumas of life. It is rightly said behind every successful man is a woman - maybe mother/wife/daughter/even grandmother. Have you seen a pack of lions hunting. It is the female who does all the hunting and then the stupid male lion comes and takes his lions share and leaves crumbs for the remaining of the pack. When Lord Krishna blesses Arjuna with strength of an ant, sexual power of a sparrow and bravery of a woman - Arjuna questions the lord on this strange blessing and ever a good teacher the lord shows how swarm of ants can lift a dead elephant, and when it came to sexual prowess of a sparrow he even showed Arjuna how long and continuous the sparrow could carry on with the sexual act. Lastly to prove the bravery of a woman he asks a man to kill his wife for a bag of gold and the man refuses the tempting offer but when the same offer is given to the wife she readily agrees to knock off her husband. Arjuna bows down to the lord and accepts the blessings with a big THANK YOU. I think i have given enough proof why woman is superior. By the by if you think that a male is superior in the house than you haven't seen the guiles of a woman by showing herself an inferior she gets all the things done through her husband though showing him that he is the boss. Before i end i saw a calendar with wordings as follows:- GOD COULD NOT BE EVERYWHERE SO HE MADE MOTHER. I think this wraps up everything. Hope this satisfies your curiosity. Warm regards Sudhakar HARI OM TAT SAT! Cheers! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 RAM RAM Dear Astro the power of the emotional feeling of a man for women is greater than his own power , though not necessarily . yedi isi bhawna ki nadi ki disa badal di jaye to teeno lok beh sakte hain .

Thanks Sudhakar ji and Manbhakta ji for the very nice posts. Sudhakar ji what you said was indeed very nice and wise but in the above lines you are saying some thing similar to that which Kashyapa said of Aditi. It is such things that lead to stereotyping of women as decietful, full of guile, enchantress, desiring power etc. Such a woman is someone who is devoid of honesty and wisdom. The woman endowed with virtues is brave as u said, straight forward, not decieving but one who imparts wisdom to her close ones, protects them from being mislead, humble.She is the one who inculcates values in her children. The former model of woman is to be rejected and the latter is to be followed Besides I would like to add a pence to what Sudhakar ji, Jitendra and Maanbhakta ji said. A woman must be having something extra and great that God made her the mother. Woman is more than often able to sacrifice ,forgive, love and dedicates herself more for her children or family.Her forbearance is also usually greater.She is also less prone to violence and cruelity. Among the both sexes , it is the woman who is tranquil and gentler.Just see how many women these days are at the notch of thier professions but seldom they are terrorists, dacoits etc A woman also many times gives up herself and her intrests to care for others. Many people these days see the house wife as a frail, dependent creature. I dont think its an easy thing for anyone to give up thier social activities and sense of independence to look after the family. If a woman has such ability to sacrifice, care and such a sense of duty I cant understand how she is seen as weak, less capable, subservient etc Maybe God made her the mother and not the father because she has these extra virtues and ability.Its a fact that a woman loves others more than herself.They often say that no one has the heart that a mother has.The one who goes against mother, father or Guru never gets mukti ie liberation. Those who see women as objects of sense gratification are fools I hardly know anything from the scriptures but everything in this material world is a reflection of the spiritual world so if the woman or the mother here has all these virtues it really means that the motherly side of God that is SHAKTI is more powerful and loving.Shakti literally means God's power which is inseperable from God or Shiva.See lord Rama and Sita maa both did and bore so much for the welfare of the world but though they are both one and the same Sita maa is the example of greater forbearance, suffering, sacrifice, love, nurture.She never gave up Lord Rama or her children for anything even though Lord Rama sent her to forest.Just because she is crying in the Ashoka Vatika as a captive and doesnt wage the war with Ravana,it doesnt mean she is less powerful than Rama .For example Shri Ram cries for Sita and Lord Shiva says that it doesnt mean that he is not the parbrahmn himself.If Lord Rama is the perfect example of a man then Ma Sita is perfect example of a how a woman is or should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Dear, basically in spirituality there are two differences made by those who experinced it and made it simplified for general people. shiva & shakti are those two different names and appearances of supreme god. Shiva is a complete form and is closest form of supreme god, where are shakti is also closest form of supreme god but has not in completetion towards nirguna. For example an atom when is chemically satisfied will remain in its state and do nothing in the world, similarly an incomplete atom can distruct the world an example is an atom bomb. When the shiva is disturbed its change of form is maya or shakti. Shakti is always powerfull when material world is there since it needs dynamics and chage every time, when shiva status is required for nullification of self realisation and liberation. --- Astro <astrologer212003 wrote: Why is Devi/Shakti considered to be > more powerful than males, when from outward > appearance males are always stronger than womens??? ______________________________\ ____ Be a better Globetrotter.

Man and woman are just indicative differences , a man can become shakti form or a woman can be shiva. It all dependes on choice as well as deveoped personality by births together. > --- Astro <astrologer212003 wrote: > Why is Devi/Shakti considered to be > > more powerful than males, when from outward > > appearance males are always stronger than > womens??? > > > > > ______________________________\ ____ > Be a better Globetrotter.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Babaji, I see like this, shakti is dynamics and life needs dynamics. There isno life without shakti.hence shakti is all powerfull in material world than shiva. Shiva status has supreme importance is spiritual achievement and all world loses its dynamics in shiva. Shakti is dynamic swaroopa of shiva. When everything is silent and still, shiva is there and when everything has momentum and dynamics, its shakti. shakti is maya and shiva is brahma. The awareness for human is shiva status internally and shakti status externally .Unless both ends meet together the human will go nowhere. > Uday, this is true and well explained. will you > further elaborate as > to why shakti is more powerful in material world ? > > Also what are your views on Awareness ? this > awareness is shakti or > shiva in us ? > > love > > Aum > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Kundlini is sheer dynamics and said to be a shakti going to meet shiva. In other words shakti is getting transformed into shiva. --- " udaykumar S.K.
