      Metaphors Of The Goddess

      Oct 5, 2018

      In Hinduism, god cannot be divine without the goddess. There is no Vishnu without Lakshmi. No Shiva without Shakti. No Brahma without Saraswati. But it is a mystery for many why Hindus, for whom divinity is both male and female, treat women so badly.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      We sometimes see people getting drawn together, getting charged with feelings and acting upon them in unison. William McDougall the well known psychologist used to call it as Group Mind in action. It was as if the group gets a mind of its own and acts. Many psychologists did not agree with McDougall.

      But the fact remains that certain traits and tendencies could be worked upon for the good of the people. In India, they talked, for example, of four Yugas (epochs), the first being Satya Yuga when people had high moral values. The whole society followed right conduct. In fact in Indian history, Greek travellers as well as Chinese travellers praised the truthful nature of the Indian.

      The situation is different in India today. Materialism in its worst form has taken charge of us. Can we hope to overcome this total loss of spiritual values? Can we create at least a few individuals who have committed themselves to a different set of values in life and who hold on to altruistic attitudes? The answer should be a Yes. It is not impossible to bring about a change in the community so long as the mind has its Sattvik (pure) traits left intact.
