Anandmurti Gurumaa's 'Shakti' offers analytical synthesis of social evils
"With the spiritual wisdom and social ethics reigning supreme, the Vedic age certainly was the golden era of the Indian civilisation which has been influencing the life of the contingent much after its antiquity." Asserted the spiritual guru Anandmurti Gurumaa here today. All religions teach and propound the philosophy of humanism, mutual brotherhood and communal harmony, she maintained while talking to the Tribune after the release of her 26th book "Shakti- The Feminine Energy". The book is an authoritative treatise of divine utterances offering an analytical synthesis of social evils deeply rooted in the society, their bearing on the life of people in all sections and finally the suggestive and constructive measures for building an ideal society. As a saint does not live up in clouds, Gurumaa, living amidst realities of life has watched the gender disparity for woman. Referring to Vedic period again, she maintained, that woman was regarded and extolled as an angle while today she is tortured victimised and condemned to hellish living in the male dominated society. There used to be the tradition of "swayamber " granting the right to marry a man of her choice and now in the modern period the "honour killings" are common, she lamented. The book provides the general awakening and measures for resurrection of life of those victimised. There is a need for the woman's self realisation with insight in to her strengths and weaknesses. Proper education of academics, moral ethics and even yoga and martial arts will empower the woman both mentally and physically to fight against all odds, she emphasised.
