Embodiments of Love!
Warning: I have written the episode 21 of Death Defying Acts and is ready (a few additions are required) but my Love for Lalithamma is so compelling that I am publishing this episode ahead of 21; Do not be so happy that one episode sorry one head ache for you will be lesser; I will publish 21 before I go to sleep this day!
There is a superstition in India related to women; (there are many; if I start writing all, my Life Time may not be sufficient)
This is about conferring of the title SUMANGALI to a married woman!
As usual it is a strategy to keep WOMEN under the arrogant control of MEN devised and enacted by MEN of India!
Conditions that will qualify a married woman for this Title:
1) She must be married
2) She must be blissful
3) She must be chaste
4) She must be obedient to Husband
She will be allowed to retain the title in the OTHER WORLD if she is courageous to die before her husband even if she is 20 years younger to him!
If she is destined to stay beyond her husband’s death she will forfeit this title!
When I listen to the thousand names of LALITHAMMA, she is also called SUMANGALI!
* 967 * Sumangali - She who gives all good things!
I referred to many books; nowhere a reference was seen giving a link to a Sumangali with her useless Husband!
I wanted to understand HER qualifications!
To my surprise LALITHAMBIKAI is also called
* 54 * Swadheena Vallabha - She who is the independent beloved Mistress
I am sharing the word meaning:
Where is the dependency specified for the Wife?
GIRLS—BEWARE of the Male Tricks; with the knowledge provided to them by a FEMALE( Mata Saraswathi Devi) Men play around and terrorize Women!
when I go deeper I fall on some other precious Gems:
Abhirami is called:
* 942 * Vyoma kesi - She who is the wife of Shiva who has sky as his hair
(Vyom = sky, Kesha =hair)
See the qualification of the Husband; the above denotes the omnipresent aspect and vastness! Hence there is no wonder that my Mother is the wife of such a great personality!
Hence naturally she is
* 128 * Sadhwi - She who is eternally devoted to her husband
This is HER choice; SIVA has not wished for this phenomenon!
See this name of my Lady Love:
* 861 * Kanthardha vigraha - She who seizes half ( Husband or siva is not mentioned but it is understood as the word Kantha (wife) is used
अर्ध—ardha--half
विग्रह्—vigraha—seize
the beauty of this 861 st Namavali is that it is not that HER Husband was asked for Half of His being; it is SEIZED Boss; No begging business or Mercy of the Male is indicated!
Another great humbug is the torture of calling married woman as “PATHI VRATHA”
* 709 * Sada shiva pathi vratha - She who is devoted wife for all times to Lord Shiva
व्रत—vrata means a resolve, manner of life
Pathi Vratha means a resolve to consider so and so as one’s husband!
Here Lalithamma has been kind enough to consider my Lord Siva as Her Husband to fulfill a post
Whereas
In India Men make a ruckus out of “ Pathi Vratha” making an unwritten Rule that Wife will be a bonded slave to Husband;
I am unable to find “ Patni Vrathaha”( DEVOTED HUSBAND)!
Ladies Beware of cheating games!
Now see the qualification of the Husband of a Sumangali
* 793 * Kapardhini - She who is the wife of Kapardhi (Siva with hair)
the braiding and knotting indicate PENANCE and disregard to worldly matters; there is meaning if the couple fit into this qualification for being a Sumangali or Sumangalan and not the useless human beings who just have no regards for systems!
Finally another Namavali
* 674 * Brahmani – FEMININE Gender for Brahman
She who is the wife of Brahman(easwara) is the meaning given in Bhasyams!
The point to be noted is
Brahman is ONE! Where is the question of Husband and Wife?
Brahmaiva Satyam( Adi Sankara’s famous verse)
Brahma satyam jagat mithya, jivo brahmaiva naparah—
"Brahman is the only truth,
the world is unreal,
and
There is ultimately no difference between Brahman and individual self"
Appeal to Lord Siva: Boss, this is against the men of India; you will not mistake me as you belong to Cosmos!
Sambho Mahadeva!
धन्यवाद:
See you in the next episode
With lots of love
