We all hear lot of religious stories in our
childhood, do we hear them as another story or we search for its deeper
meaning? This is most mystifying question to me. All of us hear or watch
Mahabharata / Ramayana in our childhood. If we would have understood them, then
why do we face problem in our lives. Even the B-School has started teaching the
management from these books? Have we become detached from everything? It just
bugs me most when I see Indian male being ego-centric and always trying to
dominate any woman in their life. Why do I find Indian Male adopting the role
of Lord Shiva? I just can’t believe what we are taught is not what is written
in our rich literature. Lord Shiva was one respected and admired Goddess
Parvati for her courageous. We worship Goddess Parvati in various forms and The
Goddess is considered to symbol of strength and fighter against all odds. Lord
Shiva accepted son born from the Goddess Parvati Ganesh. Imagine now an Indian
male accepting a child of his wife born from some illegitimate means. I just
can’t take this. People just remember the Lord Vishnu Avatar Maryada Purushottam
Ram who has had his wife,Goddess Sita to take agni pareeksha when she had to
spend some days in Ravana’s den. But another Mahabharta epic has stories
of unwed women getting pregnant and finally that son fighting with his brother
but in the end just to die. People remembered them perfectly but have they
forgotten about the Lord Sun. I guess we hear and remember what suites us
perfectly. We are forgetting Goddess Sandya who was wife of Lord Sun, left him
only because she couldn’t tolerate the radiance of his husband Sun. God
couldn’t even know the same since Sandya created chaya out of penance. When Sun
begot Shani as his child after union with Chaya, He realizes the truth. And
when Sun got to know about it , he left everything in search of Sandya not
because his ego was hurt but for his love for Sandya . Since Sandya has turned
herself into a mare, he also did the same. With time, he changed the heart of
his wife and took her alongwith him. When all God of Gods can understand his
lessons instead to get aggravated he changed himself to win over his beloved.
Have the males forgotten their lesson? When God and Goddess can have their
share of stories why is that we humans are blamed for our follies. If anyone
has doubt read about the Our God of Teacher, Jupiter and his wife Tara. Moon is
believed to be the father of illegitimate Mercury who was son of the wife of
Jupiter. Jupiter who is considered as the lord of progeny accepted mercury as
his child and imparted mercury with all the knowledge, that’s why Mercury is
considered to be witty, intelligent and at the same prince among all Gods.
Do we observe the essence of these stories? I doubt we do. We only believe
and adopt our half cooked stories. Are we women to be blamed for the
same? To an extent yes, we are one of the strong supporter of man. Males are
ego-eccentric because they breed on our emotions. We nurture them from their
beginning be it in the form of mother, sister or later as better-half. We are
the ones who don’t stop them when are misbehaving with us then why complain
later. Haven’t we got our lessons from the Goddess Durga in her various
incarnations? Haven’t male taken their lessons from these stories ?
Nothing is for eternal and if they want they will have to take care for others
as they want them to be taken care of. So, when a woman cheats why doesn’t male
look deep inside why is only woman asked to do so in the reverse scenario. When
relationships don’t work why is that mother feeds the boy that gal must
have been wrong while gal’s mother also bugs her why he left you. Why can’t
they understand their so called blue-eyed boy wasn’t meant to stay in her life
and fucker , cheater and liar he may have been. When a man demands anything
it’s alright why not the reverse? WE ARE BOUND TO STICK AND STAY IN THIS DEEP
SHIT TILL WE TRY TO BREAK OUR BOUNDS AND LIVE OUR LIVES ON OUR OWN TERMS. AS ROME
WASN’T BUILT IN ONE DAY LETS BUILD OUR CASTLE AND LIBERATE OURSELVES AND SO
THAT OUR SOULS REST IN PEACE.
