We at Kathakars would like to wish all the ladies around the world Happy Women's Day. While i was browsing around i came across this music video by Shakti Album for Women's Empowerment by Gurumaa Ashram. It shows how multi tasked the modern woman has become yet she has her traditional responsibility. Having had the opportunity to interact with women from all walks of life and from all over the world here at Stanford, i have realised no matter which part of world we women come from there is a common thread of compassion that binds us all together. We are daughters, sisters,friends,wife,grandmothers,girlfriends playing multiple roles at the same time in our life.
This Sanskrit Sholka describes the roles a woman has to play as a wife;
Karyeshu Dasi, Karaneshu Manthri;
Bhojeshu Mata, Shayaneshu Rambha;
Roopeshu lakshmi, Kshamayeshu Dharitri;
Satkarma Nari, Kuladharma Patni.
The gist of this sholka is that married woman plays different roles in her husbands life. She is the caretaker,adviser,nymph,she brings prosperity in his life, she feeds him like a mother and is all forgiving. I guess that's why the woman is called the better half. Today's woman is all the above and much more. She is achieving her goals and dreams. On the occasion of International Women's Day we will be featuring women who have been pioneers and inspirations in the field of dance and music. So stay tuned for the next blog tomorrow. Till then A big shout out to Women Empowerment all over the world.
