As today is Women’s day want to share few thoughts of swami vivekananda on women

[Guest guest]

*Women are of 2 types*

**

*1) Shakthi women*

*2) Maya women*

**

*shakthi women are those who inspire others to realize god and do/be/see

good.*

**

*Maya women are dangerous and god creates them to try to distract attention

of geniune people and see whether they fall into their trap or not.*

 

*Example of Maya women: menaka who trapped viswamitra and current

generation cinema heroines,prostitutes etc etc...*

 

*Below are swami vivekananda views about women in india and his suggestions.

*

**

*1) In the tenth chapter comes a peculiar hymn — for the sage is a woman —

and it is dedicated to the one God who is at the background of all these

gods. All the previous hymns are spoken in the third person, as if someone

were addressing the deities. But this hymn takes a departure: God [as the

Devi] is speaking for herself. The pronoun used is " I " . " I am the Empress of

the Universe, the Fulfiller of all prayers. " (Vide “Devi Suktaâ€, Rig-Veda

10.125)

*

 

*2) In India the woman was the visible manifestation of God.*

 

*3) The girls of India would die if they, like American girls, were obliged

to expose half their bodies to the vulgar gaze of young men.*

 

*4) Any attempt to modernise our women, if it tries to take our women away

from that ideal of Sita, is immediately a failure, as we see every day.*

 

*5) There are some of our books which say that the next incarnation, and the

last (we believe in ten), is to come in the form of a woman.*

 

*6) It is alone in the Sanskrit language that we find four words meaning

husband and wife together. It is only in our marriage that they [both]

promise, " What has been my heart now may be thine " . It is there that we see

that the husband is made to look at the Pole-star, touching the hand of his

wife and saying, " As the Pole-star is fixed in the heavens, so may I be

fixed in my affection to thee " . And the wife does the same.

*

 

*7) There is that beautiful story of the great sage Yâjnavalkya, the one who

visited the kingdom of the great king Janaka. And there in that assembly of

the learned, people came to ask him questions. One man asked him, " How am I

to perform this sacrifice? " Another asked him, " How am I to perform the

other sacrifice? " And after he had answered them, there arose a woman who

said, " These are childish questions. Now, have a care: I take these two

arrows, my two questions. Answer them if you can, and we will then call you

a sage. The first is: What is the soul? The second is: What is God? " (

Brihadâranyaka Upanishad 3.8.1.-12.)

 

Thus arose in India the great questions about the soul and God, and these

came from the mouth of a woman. The sage had to pass an examination before

her, and he passed well.*
