Women Empowerment in Hinduism

Image
"Women needed no empowerment. Empower the weak. Women are strong." We live in a country where atrocities against women are a common affair and the position of women degrades every passing day. With this never-ending need for feminism, let us have a look at the original status of women in ancient Hindu culture. 1. There was NO GHUNGHAT. Ahaaannn!!! My favourite. Ghunghat ko kaise justify karoge bhai? Let us revisit history and understand that the Ghunghat was not started by the Hindu society. After the advent of Mughals in the country, the parda system began. Since the Mughal rulers favoured the parda system, it also prevailed in the rest of the society.  Ghunghat is a foreign element that is added without permission to the Hindu culture. ⭐ 2. They had a proper education. The education system established by Hindu culture included both men and women. However, during the gradual advancement of society, it took wrong turns and shapes.  Hindu women were not suppressed of their kno

Why is Hinduism Declining? Threat to Hindus?

Image
  "Hindu Rashtra to hum banne nahi denge" "Hum to hain hi majority" This what we get as an answer from the Millenials and GenZ. This is the loyal lot of the country which believes that we, as a country should always stand united and secular. Analyzing their part of understanding, it is completely rational of them to think so.  We were always taught Patriotism and Unity. We were always taught Secularism. Then why do people want a Hindu Rashtra? Where did this notion come from? Why are people supporting it? Why do you want it? What about our unity and secularism?

Terrific Tilak | Third eye | Shiva Tilak |Unknown Facts

Image
Tilak has an interesting story. Really?   🤨 Hell yes!! So you might have seen every other pujari applying a tilak on his forehead...     (Okay, so this guy is painted...But fine😅) Or Of course, if you're a Hindu......Every auspicious occasion begins with a tilak...You know it!  But you're here to know the story, right? Hinduism has always been a huge reservoir of traditions, one of which is the application of tilak . Considered sacred for centuries, it is an integral part of every auspicious occasion for Hindus. So what is that thing actually doing to us? Well... Let us first talk about the place where it is applied. Ajna Chakra- The Third eye Also called the third eye chakra, Ajna chakra is a direct link to the Brahman, i.e. wholeness. (Not a caste!!)   It is the centre of our thoughts and wisdom. People meditate focusing on this Chakra  to achieve peace and prosperity. If you are someone who feels the Chakra concept is not logical, then let us get into modern-d

Acoustic Aum (OM)- ॐ| Unknown Facts| Surprising Truths

Image
The Sanskrit word "Aum" is much more than a word..! I came across such surprising and mind-blowing facts that makes me write. As the Mandukya Upanishad quotes: Meaning: Aum presents the four states of  consciousness i.e:  Jagrat: The waking state Svapna: The dreaming mind Susupti:The deep sleep Turiya: Pure consciousness It says that Aum is Brahman, which is the whole and Brahman is the "Atman"(We just made it a caste! LOL) So now that we know a little about what the Upanishads say let us dive in the peaceful world of knowledge that Aum brings to us... 1. The science in its Pronunciation We've all heard Aum in most of our mantras, haven't we? So those mantras are not the mere drama as presented by most of the pujaris to us. We've lost half our faith in Hinduism after watching "OMG!''.  This is not where Hinduism started rather we turned it to a mess.  So the next time you think of Aum be proud of yourself that you know the backgr
