🌾 UN International Day of Rural Women 🌾
Honoring the Divine Feminine – The Backbone of Hindu Civilization
यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः।
यत्रैतास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफलाः क्रियाः॥३.५६॥
"Where women are worshiped, there the Gods rejoice; where they are not, all actions are fruitless."
— Manusmriti 3.56
Today, as the world celebrates the UN International Day of Rural Women, KAILASA pays tribute to the countless women who sustain our communities, nurture life, and preserve culture — the living embodiment of Devi Parashakti, the supreme feminine consciousness.
In Hinduism, womanhood is not secondary — it is sacred. The very cosmos is born from the Brahmanda Yoni of Devi Bhuvaneshwari, the Cosmic Mother.
Ancient Hindu civilization recognized women as rulers, philosophers, warriors, educators, and saints — from Devi Meenakshi and Ahilyabai Holkar, to Maitreyi, Gargi, Andal, and Akka Mahadevi.
💫 The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam — Himself initiated into the Universal Mother (Shakta) tradition — is reviving this grand heritage of Vedic Feminism®:
✅ Restoring the worship of the Divine Feminine Consciousness
✅ Reviving female monastic orders such as the Rudrakanya Sampradaya
✅ Rebuilding the Yogini Sarvajnanapeetha, the world’s only Hindu women’s university
✅ Reestablishing the Gurukul system that empowered both boys and girls equally
The SPH beautifully explains:
“Women by their very DNA have the capacity and groundedness to hold an ecosystem together. Hinduism creates an ecosystem for every woman to manifest that power.”
In ancient Hindu nations, women were guaranteed equal rights in property, governance, and education — forming the backbone of thriving matrilineal societies that made ancient indigenous Hindu nations one of the greatest civilizations on Earth.
🌺 Empowering Indigenous Rural Women — KAILĀSA’s Initiatives 🌺
KAILĀSA’s Nithyananda Lakshmi℠ was the first initiative specifically created for Hindu indigenous rural women, providing them with access to micro-financing and economic empowerment. This unique Hindu-based financial ecosystem reforms the market and institutional failures that lock women into vulnerable employment, enabling them instead to achieve self-employment and economic independence through Hindu economic principles.
KAILĀSA’s en-Pregnancy® Care for Maternal and Family Health upholds the sacredness of womanhood by offering holistic care rooted in Hindu traditions — supporting mothers physically, mentally, and spiritually through every stage of pregnancy and family life.
In 2009, KAILASA’s Women Foundation and Women Empowerment Self-Help Centers were launched in 108 locations worldwide, offering grassroots support, resources, and leadership training for women.
KAILASA’s Ankita℠ Program provides foundational literacy and education on community infrastructure and basic civic systems, empowering women with the knowledge to participate fully in local governance and service delivery.
KAILASA’s Ashraya℠ Program offers vocational training for rural and indigenous women, creating equal access to independent, self-sufficient financial environments.
These initiatives further empower women by training them in Hindu rituals, temple administration, and temple sciences, preserving and passing on the sacred responsibilities traditionally held by the feminine divine.
Through the revival work of The SPH and KAILASA, this sacred legacy of feminine power, resilience, and leadership is once again being honored and lived — not only in temples and monasteries, but in the hearts of millions worldwide.
🌸 On this International Day of Rural Women, we celebrate the timeless truth that when women thrive, humanity flourishes. 🌸
