Passage 4

In English

Women should be revered

From ancient times the feminine aspect of the Divine has been worshipped in various ways. The Veda declares that where women are honoured and esteemed, there divinity is present with all its potency. Unfortunately today men consider it demeaning to honour women. This is utterly wrong and is a sign of ignorance. (Woman) is (the Goddess of Prosperity for the home). She is hailed as (the virtuous spouse). She is called - (the mistress of the house) and (the better half). People gloat over petty titles conferred on them. But women have been conferred the highest titles which are valid for all time. A home 'without a woman is a jungle.
