Celebrate Women's Day for Equal Rights, Equal Wage, Equal Respect, Empowering the Women's. That's the Women's Day

Why Women's Day so special

From my point of view Women's Day for Equal Rights equal wage to every women, equal respect, Equally Empower the Women's

Its universal truth that everyone is unique in their own way. So, why women compare with men? She is far stronger them. This is not your regular teddy bear or rose day. It is a day of much much more significance than we realize. Gift coupons, free drinks, 50% off in beauty parlours is what most people think of this day. Wear pink, upload selfies with hashtags is what most of us do today. Just think of this - “Did you allow your maid to go on a holiday today?” If the answer is no then please don't post that 'support women' picture on facebook.

Women's day was started with one agenda - equal rights, equal wages for both men and women. Do you see that happening around you even today? I don't. Even women are not sure what they want. Equality can never be achieved by reservation. Only women in power are free to express their opinions. It is all just talks and no action. A girl from DU expresses her opinion and gets trolled by celebrities. She recieves rape threats and is forced to walk out of the movement. My office has scheduled a motivational speech by Mary Kom today and women in my office are planning to got to Pizza Hut because they are giving an extra off to a group of women. Is this why women started fighting ?

According to research by World Economic Forum; It will take more than 100 years to close this wage and rights gap. I am pretty sure it will take much much more than that.

So, I would like to politely ask you again; Please don't celebrate this day if by celebration you mean dressing up nicely to office, clicking random pictures and then going for drinks in the evening.

There are people who have devoted their lives so that women could vote. Let's honor them today. Their are women who won medals in olympics when our men were sitting on the sidelines. Let's cheer for them today. There are women who inspire us, care for us, make our lives better, tolerate us and love us no matter what. Let's celebrate them and not just this random date.

Celebrate them not just today but whenever possible!

It may not be physically but mentally of course. Mens always say its very difficult to understand a women. That's true because every girl only wants to be loved and care. Simple thing but yet difficult to implement. A well said by someone god cannot be everywhere so he created mother. You are blessed with ability to give birth and know the baby 9 months more than anyone in this world. Many girls have already married and left their wonderful world with their parents and some are on their way to accept another home as your own home. Every girl is special. Some are beautiful, some are intelligent, some have the qualities which are unique to them. But as a women, one thing is common you are special. You are no more a burden on anyone. You have the ability to take the burden on you. Every girl has suffered through harassment on small or a large scale. Its time for you to be strong, you are but you have to show it. Stop being scared and respond to this so that the guilty gets scared to do it to anyone else.

When you wake up and its a women’s day, you then message your beautiful mother, then girls/lady in your family.

is necessary to remember 1). Sri. Ubhaya Bharati & 2). Ardhanareeshvara tatvam

So who is this lady - 1). Sri. Ubhaya Bharati

- When Sri. Adi Shankaracharya went to debate with the great Vedic pandit Sri. Mandana Mishra (actually he went to debate with Sri.Kumarila Bhatta, but had to debate with his student Sri. Mandana Misra) - the judge of the famous debate was Sri. Ubhaya Bharati - wife of Sri. Mandana Mishra. This we all know (at least some of us).

Now what this means - there are deeper social underpinnings that we can understand from this historical event.

1. Sri. Mandana misra was the best among the best of Vedic scholars at that time apart from Sri. Kumarila Bhatta. His work "Sphota Siddhi" is the proof of that. Now if he himself said that "my wife will be the judge" - then that proved 3 things: i) the high amount respect he had for his wife and her scholarship, ii). in addition, he considered his wife's scholarship to be superior to his own, iii) He was also sure that his wife will be the most impartial judge.

2. In that old city, in those days the elders could have objected to this act - that is, how a lady can be a judge for a "shastra" debate, but they readily accepted to her being the judge - this means they also knew of her scholarship and they all were ready to accept her judgement.

3. The visitor, a young brahmachari (Adi shankara) - he could've objected to her being the judge or might have had doubts of her scholarship, may be so... thus Sri. Ubhaya Bharati had to prove in some ways not just her scholarship, but also her impartiality and also her ability to judge. All these she proved with ease.

4. If women were not allowed to study Vedas and Shastras as believed - how could Sri. Ubhaya Bharati got her scholarship ? - so this proves that she indeed had her Veda and Shastra studies.

5. The rules of the debate were set at the starting itself. That is, whoever looses the debate will become the "shishya" of the winner. Say if Adi Shankara looses then he had to become the student of Sri. Mandana Mishra and follow strict Vedic life - this means he had to give up his sannyaasa and become a grihasta (marry and become a house holder). On the other hand if Sri. Mandana mishra looses, he has to leave his family and become a sannyaasi and student of Adi shankaracharya.

6. Since Sri. Ubhaya bharati was the judge, the tradition is that, it is mandatory that the debaters had to prostrate before her at the beginning and at the end, every time whenever the debate starts or ends - both Sri. Mandana Mishra and Sri. Adi Shankaracharya did so. (Thus, it is to be understood that the 'namaskaara' was not for an individual but for the qualities of that person possesses or that “Person” itself - “Person' here in this context means the Aatma).

7. Finally after weeks of debate, Smt. Ubhaya Bharati gave her judgement that, her husband had lost the debate and as per the rules he has to take Sannyaasa and become a student of Adi Shankaracarya, thus Sri. Mandana Mishra has become Sri. Sureshvaracharya.

8. Despite knowing very well that her husband would leave her, and lead a life of a Sannyasi, she gave her judgement - thus she was not a weak-hearted person. Also she wanted to uphold the truth. Unless one know the truth how can that one uphold it? - Thus she herself is a “jeevan mukta” (an enlightened being)

9. What happened to Sri. Ubhaya Bharati ? - she was kept in high esteem as an incarnation of Devi Saraswati by Sri. Adi Shankara, and the whole society accepted that and she was hailed as an incarnation of Devi Saraswati - "या ब्रह्माच्युतशङ्करप्रभृतिभिः देवैः सदा वन्दिता" (the Devi who is worshiped by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) - but in reality if we don’t believe in enlightenment, etc. then, Sri. Ubhaya Bharati was just another Woman just another historical person who was an accepted scholar.

10. She didn't cry that her husband is going to leave the house etc. or didn't commit suicide or became a sannyaasini etc. However she did continue to lead a life of highest principles and a guiding light of Truth.

This was the Bharatiya society in those days ! - not backward as some historians want you to believe.

2). Ardhanareeshvara tatvam - in essence it signifies both the male and female aspects of nature are equal and both are necessary for the continuum of “Life”.

How a male is unique and has a role to play in the universal scheme of things, the same way the female is also unique and has a role to play. None is superior and none inferior. Each has to play the respective role as per nature. Both are equal - but not same. The sameness stupidity is what is driving girls and ladies to dress like male, smoke, drink, etc. That is another kind of slave mentality - get rid of that. Male is stupid enough to smoke /drink and spoil health - why should a female do that??

————————

A girl /woman can be /become like Ubhaya Bharati, Jhansi Rani, Mangamma, --- if you don't like examples of historical persons then, 20th century women like Aanadamayi Maa, Rukmani Devi Arundale, M.S.Subbulakshmi, Padma Subramanyam, Kalpana Chawla, P.V Sindhu, Mary Kom, etc. are there for inspiration. A girl can become anyone, someone, or none in her own right - small or big, famous or not famous, prosperous or not prosperous, rich or not rich, what ever that may be and it is her choice. Media today is continuously targeting and bombarding girls with subtle messages like they are a “Weaker sex” - they need to Confirm to the upmarket liberal nonsense to be stronger, etc.

There are countless female… CEOs, Doctors, Scientists, Software engineers, Sports persons, Musicians, Dancers, Bank officers, Teachers, Workers, Accountants, Armed force personnel, etc. etc. in India today - aren't these Women proof enough that Male and Female are equal in terms of abilities ? - so why this Women's day thing, just one day in a year ?? - celebrate all days proudly as equals.

No need to foolishly fall for some chocolate or gift or card in the name of Women's day and accept to be treated inferior during the rest of the days. Or else fall for this Weaker sex doctrines and become conformists of the consumer culture or leftist culture.

The Women of India have the responsibility to turn the clock back, and remind the society of days of Sri. Ubhaya Bharati where women are equal to men and most importantly ensure that it is.

The Women's day is a media created nonsense to sell expensive and/or useless stuff in the name of Women's day to gullible girls and women.

Pic-3: The above 3rd photo is not put there to subtly convey the message that Indian ladies should be like this, etc… But to show that there are ladies who are like this also.

Then forward a message to some of awesome girl in your contact without any other reason.

But when you open other social media and found girls posting/sharing this with a caption “To all Boy’s out here”

Yes dear, you all are different. I accept some of us judge you in the way you dress but seriously accept that some of us even do not care, we will notice the people who are gazing you in wrong way and make them stop and acknowledge you. We already have stressful life and we walk holding buckets of responsibility.
