Why do we need a Krishna in every home?

Before writing anything, let us make it clear that the 'Krishna' here in the question is not the idol worshiped in the temples. Instead, we are talking solely about the divine masculine power who saved Draupadi from the humiliation of Kauravas.

Well, this act of chivalry created a cliché, and since then, it was assumed that the feminine gender always need masculine gender to protect themselves from individuals of that group! The question arises, why does a female needs a 'protector' who is always a male? Why does the society stress on having a male companionship if the woman is to survive well in the world?

But alas, the tragedy is that there is no answer to this question.

Recently, when India celebrated its Republic Day, this country gave all the women around the world a reason to hold their heads high as a female Wing Commander, Pooja Thakur, lead the parade that welcomed their guest of honor, Barack Obama, the President of the USA.

Just an opinion, every year on rakshabandhan when a sister ties rakhi on her brother's wrist (who might even be younger), appointing him as her protector, she must wonder about the credibility of this relationship. How and why should he protect her? His job is to be her brother and not her bodyguard.

Cleopatra, Mother Lu, Zenobia, Baltazara Chuiza,  Rani Lakshmibai, Ani Pachen, Corazon Aquino,  Yulia Tymoshenko,  Asmaa Mahfouz ,  Aya Virginie Toure. Whether these ladies used the violent or the non - violent ways, they surely came and the surely conquered, without any male support.

Women are supposed to be protected by men from the cruel world, which is also made by men. Hypocrisy, don't you think? Depending on the opposite sex, physically or emotionally, is part of the symbiotic relationship, hence, should be applicable on both the sexes. We all need to accept the fact that a woman is like Zephyr, preserver and destroyer. If she is strong enough to bear all the pain to bring you into this world, if she is intense enough to fight for her country and run it on her own, then, she is highly equipped to take care of herself.

So, please stop patronizing her, she doesn't deserve it. She doesn't need to be guarded. She is capable enough to manage all the worlds in her little life!

World is our Family

               "One love, one heart... Let's get together and feel Alright"
                                                                                 -Bob Marley 

Ever imagined a world without boundaries. Where everyone lives in peace, away from the fears of war and destruction. No loss. No damage. Tranquillity and love in every corner, in every heart. Wouldn't this place look like heaven?

But alas! this imagination is hundred-to-one as for this people will have to keep aside their ego and prejudices which is impossible. Very few are there who will go beyond their pride to retain the feeling of love and being loved in the world. But hey! what's the harm in trying? After all a united family or a united world will be beneficial for all of us and everyone seeks for benefits these days.

We are all creation of one God and you can give Him any name. He made us and never differentiated, then, who are we to divide the world on the basis of caste, religion, race and sexual orientation. There is a thing, beyond all these differences, Humanity and to achieve this should be our basic goal.

Is it so tough to be kind? We aren't Beasts. What differentiates us from them are the feelings, feelings of empathy and sympathy. Then why can't we feel each others' pain and sufferings? How do we allow ourselves to oppress other beings? Has God's creation which is envied even by the angels fallen so low. Yes!

The fault is not entirely ours. Since childhood we are taught to differentiate people on various basis and this has become a continuing legacy. These legacies in turn produce taboos that creates a barrier between people and restricts us to unify with each other.

It's never too late. We should accept world as a big family that longs for unity. We should celebrate it's uniqueness and feed it with togetherness.
