IT IS DEFINITE THAT ‘WOMEN’S CENTURY’ WILL MANIFEST IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Such situations are manifesting the world which connotes that 21st century will be led by women. This we are saying because within world trends and activities hard heartedness and selfishness are about to be uprooted and in its place goodwill, cooperation and generosity will get reinstated. These sacred glories are naturally present in the soul of women.

In past time regarding women it was thought that she is weak and lacks enterprise. This is to the extent that she is incapable of becoming financially independent. She cannot even protect herself. She perforce lives a life dependent on others. Hence if under such circumstances those who look after her needs accrue benefits from her based on their whims and fancies and like a slave ask her to carry out their commands, what is wrong in that? This is the belief of the male section of world society. It is hence that everyday such incidences occur in the lives of women that can be labeled tainted in nature. These incidences include burning one’s wife to death just because she brings with her less dowry, forcing her to leave the house, censuring the wife day in and day out just because she is not very beautiful to look at and if ever even a minor difference of opinion comes up she gets beaten up mercilessly. Those women who cannot endure all these atrocities are forced to commit suicide. All this is not hidden from anyone.

What requires to be mulled over is that are women truly weak? Is it that those men, who give women shelter and look after her needs, truly philanthropic, generous and meritorious or is it that in reality, they benefit much more from women? The answer to this question can be given only by going beyond traditional beliefs and making conclusions in a totally new manner. Else wrong beliefs can give us only tainted results.

After serious thinking one can only conclude that in no way women are weak. In fact she has always been capable in every way. Her greatness sees no limits. There is an opinion amongst great thinkers that women possess greater amounts of life force than men. She possesses extraordinary powers of endurance. She has immense potential to face dire diseases. From the standpoint of anatomy she is more beautiful, delicate and sweet. She possesses an extraordinary voice. She is rich in wisdom. If only she gets a chance to showcase her valor and intellect she will prove to be greater and more powerful than males. Amongst people possessing great intellectual skills women have always outnumbered men. She has proved her supremacy in various examinations and competitions. She has always preferred to remain defensive in nature because rarely one finds women executing tainted acts and arrogant behavior which for males is a very part and parcel of their lives.

When a sword remains unused it starts rusting and that the nozzle of a pistol gets filled up with dirt. This same precept applies to women’s talent. Despite being brilliantly talented she has not been given a chance to aptly utilize the same. Whenever she was given a golden opportunity to exhibit her valor, enterprise and daring she did not allow that field to be proved regressive.

A more intense penance was done by Anasuya in comparison to Bhagiratha to bring down River Mandakini from heaven. Despite a plot designed against her she forced Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh to take up the form of babies and play like kids at her doorstep. When demigods after tasting defeat at the hands of demons were somehow saving their lives then a woman took up the form of Goddess Mahakali so as to defeat the wily demons and thus helped demigods save their very lives. In comparison to denizens of heaven Manushi had established her supremacy over them. Parvati became the wife of Lord Shiva. Kunti gave birth to children who were incarnations of demigods. Madalasa, Sita and Shakuntala by giving birth to divine men proved their greatness. Rani Lakshmibai built any army of such women that with their valor they gained a big victory over their arch enemies. The efforts of Vidyottama helped the stupid Kalidas become a great scholar. In the Vedic Age there were great female Rishis or Rishikas like Gargi, Maitreyi, Apala, Gosha and so on. The credit for the greatness of Chanakya, Shankaracharya and Vinoba Bhave must verily be given to their mothers. Ila had become the Purohit of a Yajna conducted by her father Manu. In the form of Saraswati, Lakshmi, Durga etc the greatness of 9 Goddesses is worshiped by devotees and they are called presiding female deities of all Sidhis or Divine Powers. Lord Almighty too required the help of that Para Prakriti so as to design and create this cosmos who was a female.

Women’s capability, intellect and sensitive emotions have always super ceded those of males. She is the life force of all creatures. If for only 100 years she does not procreate any children not one living being will be seen on planter earth and in this short time span only total destruction and world annihilation will be witnessed.

Just as male dominated family in various fields of the world on the basis of designing of families predominating with women are seen to bloom in a well managed way. There men are rendered service givers and workers of the family. They have to pay heed to discipline laid down by women. Under such conditions the view that females are weak gets challenged. There is a widespread belief that women are weak and men are powerful but this is not destiny based but is merely a trend in vogue. Right from good looks, sweetness of nature to high stature capabilities women are great and supreme. A woman’s sustenance can go on easily without help from men yet one cannot imagine smooth running of a family without women. Then why is she labeled weak and why did this trend set in wherein women were forced to live like maid servants in their house? At every step she faced harassment in the form of oppression, suppression and infliction of atrocities on her. How did it become a right for men to denigrate women thus in an arrogant manner and that she had to perforce live a life devoid of basic human rights within the folds of unethical male behavior?

After thinking and mulling deeply only 1 conclusion comes to mind and that is women have so far had to face oppression simply because she took up the great important task of rearing children. She lost her health and beauty in pregnancy and upbringing of babies and breast feeding too left her hollow. At the time of her baby’s birth she faces immense agony. While shouldering these responsibilities she started lagging behind as far as eking out earning and showcasing her inherent talent is concerned. The result of all this was that she was looked upon as a medium of weakness, helplessness and oppression. All these then are the reason why today’s world women live downfallen lives. Further she had to live in a state between those of humans and beasts in a tamed fashion. In this harassed state tainted behavior and obstacles were thrown on her shoulders.

If women have to lead a life of bondage it is not as though only she faces danger. Even for those who look after her needs she becomes a big rock strung around their necks because of her fallen state. If half the world’s population is forced to live a life of bondage it is clear that its dire results will loom like a dark shadow around the entire world. For many centuries women have lived like slaves. Ill fate too is not giving her a chance to come out of this quagmire.

Today when the 21st century is about to usher in, total transformation is being noted and women are readying themselves to get reinstated on the pinnacles of human glory. Hence it is the prime duty of the generous class of world males to help loosen bondage placed on women’s shoulders. By rendering her literate and self sufficient men must show their gentlemanly nature and thus atone for their past innumerous sins.
