EP 14 Is the Hindu Goddess a Feminist?
from India A Story in the Making with Loveena Tandon · host Loveena Tandon
Are we viewing the world solely through the lenses of patriarchy and feminism, or is there another perspective to consider? Looking at the strong women deities in Hindu philosophy, we are inclined to think: Is the Hindu Goddess a Feminist? These lingering questions inspire us to reflect. Despite India's pride in powerful goddesses like Durga, Kali, and Chandi, we're confronted with harsh realities like dowry deaths, low female mortality and literacy rates. The issues might vary, but the conversation around the odds against women is not too dissimilar in western countries. Case in point the UK: from domestic violence to the gender pay gap both and many such are pressing issues that the society faces. Join Catherine Rowan, born in the UK, and myself, born in India, as we connect on the issues surrounding women. Catherine shares how she, as a Western woman, found her freedom in these formidable Hindu deities and now uses these concepts to liberate individuals from their fears, unveiling their true potential. If you feel trapped in life or relationships, join us on this journey to discover your authentic power.
