  As the legend goes, at some point, as the process of creation unrolled, Prajapati Brahma created angels, demons and human beings. Although angels and demons were far superior to humans in their respective roles, Brahmaji made humans potentially in his own image. The legend says that the Creator blessed humans with the gift of Self-Effort through which, if positively used, they could rise far above the angels as co-creators; and if negatively applied, could become worse than the demons. For the former outcome, He enjoined upon the human male (man) to go hand-in hand with his better half (woman) as complementary equals in their noble endeavor to attain Heavenly Bliss of at-one-ment with the Divine; and that failure to abide by this advice would result in man being worse than a demon.

For quite a long time in history man has, by and large, ignored the Creator’s advice by treating woman as a chattel and has brought about all-round degradation of humanity through cruelty, humiliation and subjugation of woman and innumerable demonic acts of omission and commission. Now has come the time when women of talents, substance, grit and determination come forward to take lead in all fields of human endeavor and heal the festering wounds of humanity through their God-given gifts of service, perseverance, humility, forbearance, wisdom, compassion, kindness and all-embracing love. Here is the injunction of The Vedas to man:

Brahamparam yujyatam brahma poorvam Brahmantato madhyato brahma sarvatah │
Anavyadham devpuram prapadya shiva syona patiloke viraj ││

-    Atharva Veda 14/1/64

Meaning:  “O Man! Your better half (wife) surrounded from all the sides by Brahma (highness, greatness) should rule your heart.”

The renowned philosopher Aristotle says, “The rise and fall of a nation is directly related to the rise and fall of women of that nation.”

That our ancestors assured an honored place to women is evident the way we invoke our deities: Lakshmi –Narayan, Uma-Maheshwar, Sita-Ram, Radha- Krishna, etc.
.
The awakening of the dormant human potential of angelic attributes is the very basis of entire transformation of the era. The Gayatri Pariwar’s founder, Gurudev, Pt Sriram Sharma Acharya, through his seer vision, has proclaimed that 21st century is the century of awakening of feminine energy which will create the environment of world peace. There cannot be salvation from present–day problems without activating this transforming energy. Emotionally, physically, politically and socially persecuted and thwarted Goddess – Mahashakti – has opened Her Eyes, awakened to the truth of the moment and will consciously usher in one of the most important human breakthroughs in cosmic consciousness.

The woman may appear physically weak because of bearing and rearing of children, but in the field of nurturing qualities she has always excelled man. For ushering in the new epoch, activation of these qualities is essential. Therefore the activities of the masses should be oriented in that direction; the entire structure of governance, religion, society, economics, etc should be moulded accordingly. For such an enormous transformation, women will have to play leading roles in all the fields of human endeavor. They will have to shoulder the major responsibilities. Let wise, mature, warm-hearted, committed and talented women come forward and join the noble crusade against the forces of Night.
