Nature and Power of a Woman

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has explained very deeply about the nature of a woman, her power, and her role in society. According to Sahaja Yoga, a woman is not just an individual, but the very embodiment of **"Shakti"** (divine power).

The key points that Shri Mataji described for a woman are as follows:

### 1. Dignity and Grace

Shri Mataji said that a woman should recognize her own dignity. She should not live like an "object of enjoyment," but like a "goddess."

 * **Gracefulness:** There should be modesty in a woman's behavior and attire, so that it evokes respect in others, not lust.

 * **Self-respect:** She should recognize her strengths and never consider herself weak.

### 2. The "Power" of the Home

According to Shri Mataji, a woman is the central point of the family.

 * **Love and Forgiveness:** A woman must possess qualities of love, compassion, and forgiveness. With her love, she can turn the entire home into heaven.

 * **Patience:** She should be patient. Just as the earth endures everything and provides nourishment, a woman should nurture her family.

### 3. The Form of "Lakshmi"

In Sahaja Yoga, a woman is considered the 'Griha-Lakshmi' (the goddess of the household).

 * **Auspiciousness:** A woman should be auspicious, meaning her presence should bring positivity and prosperity into the home.

 * **Contentment:** If the woman of the house is content and happy, poverty never enters that home.

### 4. Maternal Love and Protection

Shri Mataji explained that the quality of 'motherly love' within a woman is the most powerful.

 * She should not only protect her children but also society.

 * She should preserve the values of her family and guide children in the right direction.

### 5. Spirituality

Shri Mataji believed that women are more emotional and sensitive than men, which allows them to understand spirituality more deeply and quickly.

 * **Kundalini awakening:** A woman should awaken her inner power through meditation so that she can remain calm and balanced.

 * **Balance:** She should maintain a balance between modernity and tradition.

### How to adopt this state?

If you want to shape yourself according to Shri Mataji’s teachings, consider these suggestions:

 * **Daily meditation:** Meditate for 10–15 minutes in the morning and evening. This will bring a divine glow to your face and peace to your nature.

 * **Focus on the heart chakra:** Keep your heart pure. Do not hold jealousy or hatred towards anyone.

 * **Pure desire:** Always keep the intention: "Mother, make me an ideal and powerful woman who can give love and light to others."
