Why should society honour women and hold them in high regard?
"From ancient times the feminine aspect of the Divine has been worshipped in various ways. Vedas declare that where women are honoured and esteemed, there Divinity is present with all its potency. Unfortunately, today men consider it demeaning to honour women. This is utterly wrong and is a sign of ignorance. Stree (Woman) is Grihalakshmi (Goddess of Prosperity for the home). She is hailed as dharma-patni (the virtuous spouse). She is called illalu (mistress of the house) and ardhangi (better half). People gloat over petty titles conferred on them. But women have been conferred the highest titles which are valid for all time. A home without a woman is a jungle. Men should realise the high status of women and honour and respect them accordingly. They should not make women weep and shed tears. A home where the woman sheds tears will be ruined. Men should give an honourable place for women and lead a respectable life."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 19.11.1995)
It is entirely due to the presence of virtuous women that Bharat remained safe and secure. Bharat owes its greatness and glory to its women. – BABA
