Feminism In Hinduism, A Brief Account -

Hindu texts present diverse views on the position of women, ranging from feminine leadership as the highest goddess, to limiting gender roles. Today we shall delve into the Feminist side of Hinduism.

Shri Krishna, The Ultimate Feminist -

Krishna is seen as God, the ultimate reality born as a human avatar on earth to teach us about the truth and about himself. His discourse with Prince Arjun is recorded in one of Hinduism most important texts, The Holy Bhagavat Gita. Where Krishna, the supreme personality of Godhead reveals the truth of the universe and existence to Arjun.

Here is a verse from the 10th chapter of the Gita where Krishna tells us about his qualities-

Bhagavad Gita 10.34: I am the all-devouring death, and I am the origin of those things that are yet to be. Amongst feminine qualities I am fame, prosperity, fine speech, memory, intelligence, courage, and forgiveness.

Here, Shree Krishna lists fame, prosperity, perfect speech, memory, intelligence, courage, and forgiveness, as virtues that make women glorious. The first three of these qualities manifest on the outside, while the next four manifest on the inside.

Here, Shree Krishna enlists these qualities as his vibhūtis.

(Below is a sketch of Satyabhama, Krishna’s wife dealing a blow to the evil King Narakasura as Krishna watches at her side) -

Not just Krishna but Hinduism has always shown Intelligence, education and fierceness as being feminine qualities.

We have Saraswati- the Goddess of Knowledge and education, a woman.

We have Kaali - The ferocious form of Durga who can annihilate entires armies of demons to protect her children. She is often portrayed as stepping on her husband, the God Shiva who in order to stop her lies in her way submissively. Note that Shiva is also seen as the manifestation of the supreme power in Hinduism and worshiped by millions and yet we find him abandoning his high status and lying under the feet of his wife. (Many lesser evolved ideologies often have a problem with this particular goddess of Hinduism. They call her either demoniac or as being too unwomanly and scary.)

We have Druga - Mother Goddess; Goddess of Power, Strength and Protection.

Navratri, in Hinduism is a major festival held in honour of the divine feminine. Navratri occurs over 9 days during the month of Ashvin. Typically, the festival’s nine nights are dedicated to different aspects of the divine feminine principle, or shakti. While the pattern varies somewhat by region, generally the first third of the festival focuses on aspects of the goddess Durga, the second third on the goddess Lakshmi, and the final third on the goddess Sarasvati. Offerings are often made to the goddesses and their various aspects, and rituals are performed in their honour. One popular ritual is Kanya Puja, which takes place on the eighth or ninth day. In this ritual nine young girls are dressed as the nine goddess aspects celebrated during Navratri and are worshipped with ritual foot washing and given offerings such as food and clothing.

You will find many great female scholars and learned Rishikas who have written Hymns of the RigVeda which is Hinduism’s oldest and most scared texts.

The names of these learned Rishikas include Gargi, Ahalya, Maitreyi, Lopamudra, Ghosha, Swaha, Haimavati, Uma , Gautami, Hemalekha, Sita etc.

In Chapter 10 of the Rigveda, the feminine power is eulogised as Devi Shukta, the ultimate power behind all of cosmos:

“I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who merit worship.

Thus Gods have established me in many places with many homes to enter and abide in.

Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them,-each man who sees, breathes, hears the word outspoken

They know it not, yet I reside in the essence of the Universe. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.

I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that gods and men alike shall welcome.

I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him nourished, a sage, and one who knows Brahman.

I bend the bow for Rudra that his arrow may strike and slay the hater of devotion.

I rouse and order battle for the people, I created Earth and Heaven and reside as their inner controller.

On the world’s summit I bring forth the Father: my home is in the waters, in the ocean.

Thence I prevade all existing creatures, as their Inner Supreme Self, and manifest them with my body.

I created all worlds at my will, without any higher being, and permeate and dwell within them.

The eternal and infinite consciousness is I, it is my greatness dwelling in everything.

— Rigveda 10.125.3 – 10.125.8

y'all might find it controversial but let's face it, Bangladesh's political turmoil is one thing; vandalizing and posing threats to people is another. from what I've been hearing through the internet (which continues to show the rare ground footages), Hindus are in fear. Bangladeshi Hindus.

1971. 3 million Hindus were KILLED. 200,000 hindu women were R@PED.

i am aware that making this religion specific is what makes this controversial, but it is necessary. when harm is caused on the basis of religious identity, there's no other way around to mention it!

if the world could step forward to speak up on Palestine, it could also step up to speak on the atrocities in Bangladesh.

international authorities continue to issue releases concerning the protection of Bangladeshi Hindus, but serious delay in such action has been noted.

we don't want 1971 to repeat. I hope we start to speak up before it's too late.

Hindus In Bangladesh-

Why do you ignore genocide and persecution when it happens to Hindus? Why are we called propagandists for raising our voices? Who will speak for them if not other Hindus? How many will you brand as “sanghi and hindutvadis” for saying the truth?

If we don’t care then who will?

- No one.

so someone wrote the following tags on this post of mine (a story about my great grandmother and colonialism) and the tags have nothing to do with the original goal of the post. but since i was singled out for some reason, i’ll respond.

i’m sorry to break it to you but hinduphobia IS real. last navratri bangladeshi hindus had their temples demolished and their houses burned down. it is estimated that in 30 years there will be no more hindus left in bangladesh. 

and there WAS a hindu genocide in kashmir. regardless of whether you’re left or right wing it should not be hard to discern that the exodus of kashmiri pandits in january 1990 was caused by a threat of genocide. they were told to flee, convert, or die. and so callously putting hindu genocide under quotes erases their trauma and experience. that’s why i defended the kashmir files. it did what it set out to do - give a voice to the kashmiri pandits once and for all. if you want to talk about the politics of the movie then find someone else. i don’t know much about indian politics to talk about it so i’d rather not say anything than say something damagingly ignorant, but i do know enough about kashmiri pandits and have seen enough of their survivor accounts to say that it was very clear that this was ethnic cleansing. my beauty parlor aunty herself is a refugee.

LASTLY as someone who has herself experienced bullying because of her hindu identity in america, it is incredibly ignorant, dare i say privileged, of you to say that hinduphobia is not a “genuine phenomenon.” i was made fun of for my bindi and was taunted by a classmate to eat beef. one time a white girl in preschool refused to play with me because i was both brown skinned and hindu. and there was a fucking GANG in jersey in the 1970′s called the dotbusters that SPECIFICALLY TARGETED HINDU WOMEN. please do not forget that even if hindus are a majority in india, they are ethnic, racial, and religious minorities in the rest of the world. so yes, hinduphobia is real. damn i wish it weren’t. but it is. and it is a desi issue. so i WILL tag this as hinduphobia AND desiblr. that’s all

What! What! What!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING EXPLAIN!?!?!???????

"We need to go back in time to show Gorge Orwell the state of the internet." "We need to go back in time to show Marx modern capitalism." Man up and go back in time to show Sigmund Freud Omegaverse.

Hello the country I live in is going to shit and it's all the presidents fault. Not saying any of the last two presidents were good. Just saying that this country is going to shot and I really hope everyone knows why.

Also another thing... Random thing I want people to analyze because I clearly don't know enough on the topic, but have we turned into great Britain (From back during the revolutionary war) , became better, or became worse than.

Because currently I am seeing a tyrant on a throne because the rest of the government system has given him power and now he's Slaughter people and has driving the economy into a rut and now taxes have been raised to a point where living requires 2 adults working 9/5 jobs. I think we are about as bad if not worse than the people we were trying to be free from.

Another thing. I have a seeking suspicion that a war is going to happen and we will be the reason why. America can't keep it's nose out of other peoples business. Ukraine vs Russia, not our business it's on the other side of the world siding with Ukraine is just like from the cold war, history repeats itself. The Gaza Genocide, also not our problem on the other side of the world, so why are our soldiers killing children? Why are we supplying weapons to child murderers and genociders? I don't know any other conflicts going on in the world but America probably has it's nose in that too.

And the sad thing is, no country can stop America from doing this dumb shit. Not even a civil war within America could that's how head strong these idiot presidents are. And the fact that America was allowed to get this powerful is a dumb thing in the first place.

Truth, Justice & Northrup Grumman

Four genocides are happening right now:

Palestine/Gaza

Sudan

Congo

Tigra

Last 3 are in Africa so no mainstream news coverage.

US is funding the 1st one because of Zionism (Israel).

There is a 3 front war coming due to US presidential election being next November: Palestine (siding with Israel, Russia (siding with Ukraine), Iran (siding with Israel vs Iran & Palestine).

Biden is asking for $100 billion -- $60 billion for Israel & $40 billion for Ukraine.

He refuses to say how long the US engagements in Israel & Ukraine would be or to give any kind of timetable yet he is demanding 100 billion US dollars fund the genocide in Palestine & the war in Ukraine.

Biden is already openly threatening Iran using very bellicose statements that they had better stay out of Palestine and essentially doing everything he can to start WW3.

Biden is already making an argument that wars in Palestine & Ukraine are good for the US economy in trying to get Congress to approve the $100 billion in aid to Israel & Ukraine.

He claimed that US weapons manufacturing plants that make the weapons in the Israeli and Ukrainian conflicts would be responsible for creating 15k+ US jobs.

It is the Iraq War all over again.

Trumped up, contrived, fake as fuck, only happening to prop up sagging presidential approval ratings, to assure reelection & to drum up jingoism, nationalism & virulent blind patriotism that leads to nihilistic militarism, warmongering, national bloodlust & endless empire building on the corpses of young men, some idealistic, many black brown & poor, endlessly exploited by the capitalist war machine.

Ads to Be All You Can Be while Uncle Sam pays for college education that should be free when student loans literally just went back into repayment will coincide nicely with the aggressive push for WW3.

ned having nightmares about lyanna dying in a bed of her own blood and the first thing that happens when he wakes up is jon fucking snow screaming about “I AM THE YOUNG DRAGON” omg i know ned’s tummy hurt

The weirdest guy I ever met in a church was this boy who referred to “Buzz Aldrin and his husband” going to the moon. I was completely baffled, and when I asked if he’d misspoken, he got really angry and accused me of being deliberately ignorant of the facts. It turned out that he was somehow comvinced that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were married. It took five Wikipedia articles to convince him otherwise.

i think of baby shireen slapping her dad's balding head and everyone freezing but he just goes hm. very strong. good genes. and babyshireen takes this as positive reinforcement and continues to slap that head as she goes frombaby to toddler to grown child and probably contributed to the premature male pattern baldness

one of my favorite details in asoiaf is how fucking mean gendry is. like this piss poor fucking peasant doesn’t give a shit who you are or how high born you are.

when ned goes to see him in AGOT and all gendry is worried about is if ned will try and take his helmet and tells him he can’t have it. this is literally the kings hand does gendry care … NOPE!

edric in ASOS literally barely speaking to him and gendry already doesn’t like him (bro was jealous for no reason arya could careless about him and edric wasn’t interested).

when brienne in AFFC goes to give gendry food and hasn’t done anything to make gendry not like her and he calls her ugly and tells her to fuck off. bonus when he just talks shit about robert calling him a fat drunk king.

then whenever it’s aryas chapters he’s still moody but so much nicer to her.

god i love this silly little angry guy.

Even without the shitty last seasons and character developments, asoiaf books take the W for the simple fact that the obvious young hero of the first book is like. 15. Like even in the pjo or hp series where there are fated young heroes haunted with tragedy something about robb stark just makes me want to sob.

He's 15 and his beard is just starting to grow, one day he's playing with his siblings and friends and the next day he learns that his father will leave for king's landing, and then his little brother falls from a tower and he is crippled. his father leaves his home and his men to his mother and him, but his mother does not leave his brother's side, doesn't eat, doesn't sleep. the whole castle and the region depends on him to function, he listens to everyone but it's not enough and he begs his mother for help, then he begs his mother so that she rests a little. His mother gets better but still leaves him, and now he functions fully as the heir of winterfell. he dislikes killing even the wildlings, but he recognizes the duty but he still sighs in relief when he's advised not to kill. He takes care of everyone and then he cries with his brother at night, his voice shakes when he defends his brother but his sword doesn't, even the ones he trusts the most does not run for his brother like he does. He's scared all the time but he keeps going and he keeps listening and he keeps caring and it's just not enough.

His father dies. he's the lord of winterfell now, and then king of the north. he's fifteen. no matter what he does, he's fifteen.

i actually hate talisa maegyr. i think her whole plot with robb was so stupid. like in the books robb’s marriage with jeyne is this tragic situation that’s really a culmination of the stress and grief that robb has been going through and unable to truly process because he is a child trying to lead his people in a war. he gets injured and then learns that his former best friend has just betrayed him, captured his home, and killed both of his younger brothers which adds to growing list of loss in his life. his father got executed, his sisters are being held hostage, his best friend betrayed him, and now his brothers are dead. so while he’s injured and kind of being consumed by his grief, jeyne westerling is there to comfort him and they do the deed and this only makes things worse because of how robb was raised and instilled with his father’s honor, as well as seeing how jon was raised, robb feels compelled to marry jeyne to preserve HER honor which ends up being his downfall. but nooooo in the show robb falls in love with foreign beauty talisa maegyr and dies because he’s an idiot and couldn’t keep it in his pants. like don’t get me wrong i love robb’s scenes in the show richard madden call me i just think the story could have been so much better and been true to the tragedy that it is in the books.

"he was never unfaithful to robert, was he?" - jaime, acok

ha. ha ha ha. the irony of this line is incredible. what's so striking to me is how one dimensional the realm's understanding of eddard stark as an honourable man is - honour itself is an incredibly complicated and unattainable ideal in asoiaf and i think ned as the stereotypical emblem of it encompasses many of the reasons why. because whilst he absolutely does consider acting in a conventionally honourable way important, he always prioritises those he loves. he defended cat's actions as his own without a second thought when she arrested tyrion. his main priority in king's landing is to see his daughters safe, not to secure the succession. lyanna is the prime example: jon's existence is not the result of the lapse of honourable ned stark, it was honourable ned stark choosing his love for his sister over his duty to his king. that and his personal ethical belief that the political murder of a child is never morally acceptable.

no one in the realm has the insight into his personality we get in the first book. none of his children, vitally, understand that he would always prioritise their safety over any honourable scruples. all of the starklings question what their honourable father would think of their actions - killing in self-defence, marrying jeyne westerling, sleeping with ygritte to name a few examples - without recognising that ned's true first priority was always his family's safety.

in fact, he betrayed robert far more than he ever betrayed cat and he would have betrayed honour for his family's safety every time.

a little after Ned gets Jon he asks the wet nurse a bunch of baby questions and she casually mentions infants totally change eye and hair colors sometimes (Ned almost kills himself on the spot) so he and Howland end up frantically inventing mendelian inheritance genetics on the ride back home. except now Cat keeps catching him in the nursery with a tray of pea plants and a notepad staring at baby Jon with the intensity of One Thousand Suns and she’s like my lord is this some first men tradition? you do not perform this ritual for Robb :( and Ned just has to be like……aye tis a sacred offering to the old gods. for bastards only. no one else may witness, forgive me.

Poor Ned (part 2)

Inspired by this: @elaena

i have a bone to pick with people who claim Oberyn got killed because “he was arrogant” or “he talked so much shit instead of just killing the Mountain” or “he was so full of himself yapping instead of fighting” etc..

this just tells me that some don't understand why he did it in the first place. if he wanted to “just kill”, he could've done so secretly with his poisons or in a way that wouldn't trace back to him.

Oberyn was determined to make the Mountain confess before his death in front of the crowd that he indeed r*ped and killed Elia and her kids by the orders of Tywin, so Dorne could prosecute Tywin for his crimes.

if the Mountain had died before Oberyn could force him to confess, the entire effort to bring justice for Elia and her kids would have been in vain, and the main offender would be on the loose, forever.

Oberyn's desperation for the truth to come out was the reason he didn't deliver a lethal blow to the Mountain, which unfortunately led to his own demise. Although he succeeded in killing the Mountain by poisoning his spear and giving this bitch a slow, painful death; it came at the cost of his own life and Tywin escaping justice.

So, when people talk about him 'talking shit,' the whole speech wasn’t about the Mountain or Oberyn's pride; it was Oberyn's desperation for the Mountain to confess and unveil the rumors, revealing the heartbreaking truth. Oberyn didn't deserve this ending, but what can we say?

I know Ned was stressed as hell seeing his daughter, who resembles Lyanna physically and in attitude, become friends with Robert’s bastard son and Edric Dayne aka mister pale blonde hair and purple eyes. Like that man was about to die again from a heart attack, hands shaking as he pulled at his hair, thinking to himself “no, gods, no. Not this again. No one give my girl a flower please”
