What role can women play in the present times? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us as we observe the Ladies’ Day.
Every woman must be given education in a well-planned manner. She must be able to understand the problems of the country. She must render such service and help as she can, within the limits of her resources and capacity, to the country, community, and family. No nation can be built except on the culture of its women. The coming generation is shaped by the mothers of today; this generation is so full of adharma (unrighteousness) and injustice because their mothers were not vigilant and intelligent enough. Well, past is past. To save the next generation, women must be warned in time and guided to take the ancients as their models. Past, present, or future, for all time, women are the backbone of progress, the heart of the nation, the very breath. They play the chief role in the dharma of life, a key role that is charged with holiness.
– Dharma Vahini, Ch 05.
