jnaneshwar: flowery phallocracy

[Guest guest]

dearest lovers,

 

you might not consifer yourself my lovers, yet you are my lovers,

choicelessly here. so here we go, dearest lovers,

 

it is time that we raise high an axe of wisdom and demolish

thousands years of misogeny that is called our "holy scriptures",

"bhakti poems", etc. Shakti is not a devout and obedient

servitess of Siva. He is not Her Lord. She is not serving him

anything. That concept is Shankya, which is phallocracy, women-

erasing brahmanism of indian male intellectuals. We are a

tantric sangha and Tantra is a the Divine Goddess's conquest

over patriarchy(which is everywhere here in the form of church,

temple, synagogue). Let's not love those who present to us

flowery misogeny, it is still misogeny. Sakti is the principle of the

feminine awakening from obedience(and thousands of years of

obedience to the wicked heavenly Father).

 

Let us look at these verses with shame for their male author and

see them for what they are: poetic assertions of supremacy of

the male principle. Sakti is diminished beyond recognition by

this jnaneshwar, and his phallocratic shankya:

 

"She awakens Her Lord,

And serves Him a feast

 

She is His very form,

But Her radiance comes from Him.

 

Shiva has become all forms:

Both dark & light,

Both male & female

 

Yet She exists only because

Of Her Lord.

 

Her form is the whole world,

God Himself created Her form,

 

She is a chaste & devoted partner;

She cannot live without Her Lord."

 

LET PHALLOCRACY BE EXPOSED FOR WHAT IT IS AND LET

THE GODDESS WHO IS ME DESTROY THE DIVINE MALE WHO

ROBBED HER OF HER SEXUAL SUPREMACY OVER HIM.
