Tanushree Dutta Instagram – I was contemplating on the concept of the Goddess Durga today who is the most powerfull female cosmic entity in Hinduism. She is a culmination & combined essence of all other Goddesses! Hinduism being unique amongst all other religions for giving such a high status to the divine feminine principle & aspect of creation. She is an emanation & projection of Lord Shiva but yet independent & holds her own being in compleeteness & unison with him. I wondered how then all girl children can be prepped for greatness & power from a nascent stage. If the little kid is told from the time she gains awareness that one day she will play a part in the transformation of this world, her entire worldview & mindset will be prepped, primed & focussed to receive power, position, responsibility & enjoy it sensibly! They say women go crazy when they come to power! But that’s coz most women are so suppressed in the world in so many ways. Suppressed, victimized, confused & diminished to the point of rebellion sometimes. If every girl child knew that she is a warrior Goddess in the making & that all challenges & difficulties are just training protocols towards building up her character! That she has already inherited her trishul despite what it looks like at the moment. If she knew at 16 or 25 or even 35 or 55 that she has just the same potential to access great love, compassion, great power, wisdom, bliss, prosperity & her own great divinity. Such a girl child would be prepped for leadership & rulership. We need able, stable & compassionate leadership in the world today. We need intelligent & trained souls to take the reigns of this world and steer it in a unique direction. If we just tweak how we mould the mindset of the girl child, we should expect to see the rise of a very different world! Think about it…#mahadev
