Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः ।
यत्रैतास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफलाः क्रियाः ॥
- मनुस्मृति
Transliteration:
yatra nāryastu pūjyante ramante tatra devatāḥ ।
yatraitāstu na pūjyante sarvāstatrāphalāḥ kriyāḥ ॥
- manusmṛti
Meaning of the subhAShita:
Wherever women are worshipped, Gods revel. Wherever they (the women) are disrespected, every work (undertaken in that place) is fruitless (no efforts yield fruit).
Commentary:
Respect for women is imbibed into the culture over many eons. Their roles as mother, daughter, wife, sister or friend have always been highly respected from time immemorial. Their constant sacrifices, incessant toil for those around and most importantly, their compassion and patience have always been revered. Every being's life begins in the womb of a woman. A mother nurtures and nourishes the child more than she does her own life. As a wife, she takes care of the entire household. As a daughter, she binds the whole family, keeping it together. In any role, she forgives the follies of her loved ones and showers them with her unconditional love.
This verse clearly says that the Gods revel in a place where women are respected and worshipped. A place where Gods revel is obviously one that is joyous and virtuous! Such is a woman's presence. How can one disrespect her? This verse also says that where a woman is not valued, the efforts of the people in that place do not yield fruit! Well, where there are no blessings from the Gods, hardly anything or anyone can see the fruition of their efforts...!
Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. Love a woman abundantly! :)
