Women's Day

Greetings on International Women’s Day!!

Today we celebrate the incredible achievements and contributions of Women globally.

Every year Women’s Day is celebrated all over the World to appreciate the achievements of women across various fields and to educate and raise awareness about women’s equality.

To me, it is also an opportunity to respect, admire and remember all those women (be it My Mother, My Mother-in-Law, my sisters, my friends) who have struggled hard in their lives and were instrumental in shaping my life and had built their lives respectfully.

In the rich tapestry of Indian culture, women's feminine power is celebrated as the very embodiment of Shakti, symbolizing the essential energies of knowledge (Saraswati), Wealth (Lakshmi), and Power (Durga or Kali). This trinity not only highlights the multifaceted strengths of women but also venerates their indispensable role in sustaining societal equilibrium and fostering progress. Saraswati's wisdom underscores the belief that knowledge is the foundation of empowerment, guiding moral and intellectual growth. Lakshmi's abundance reflects the notion that prosperity and well-being are nurtured by the feminine, symbolizing a harmonious balance between material and spiritual wealth. Durga or Kali represents the invincible strength and the power to protect, destroy evil, and maintain cosmic order. Together, these pillars exemplify the revered concept of feminine power in Indian philosophy, advocating for a society where women are honoured, celebrated, and empowered to unleash their full potential, thereby ensuring a balanced, just, and flourishing civilization.

This Women's Day, let us acknowledge and honour the profound significance of women's feminine power as a cornerstone of societal progress and harmony.

Happy Women's Day!
