3. Women

4. Our Vedas tell us that
women held an important
place in ancient culture.
No ritual was ever
complete without the
presence of a woman by
her man’s side. All our
gods are worshipped
alongside their heavenly
consorts. There is no
dichotomy there.

5. Events on Earth demand the emergence of the feminine
essence of Love all around. In the 21st century women do
not need to look at the historical injustices done to her. It’s
time to put all that behind her and look forward to her
empowered role in this ‘Aquarian age’. Women today need
not look anywhere for a perfect role model.

6. The time is ripe for women of all races, castes, class,
and nationalities to come together to be the harbinger of this change.
Mother Earth is crying for attention, soon it will show its true might and
annihilate all the evil forces along the way.

7.  21st century is the century for change. The Planet
Earth is ready for ‘The Shift of the Ages’. In this
New Age, love and compassion will rule the roost,
and the woman with her natural attributes of
compassion will sow the seeds of global
transformation. These changes have already
begun, and soon they will gain an unprecedented
momentum.

8. Recent years have shown many more females enroll in
graduate ,law and medical programs following college.
The University of Michigan was the first state medical
school to fully accept women in 1870; in contrast, 42% of
the students in the Stanford medical school in 1995 were
women. The type of expertise gained at such schools
makes it possible for women to obtain the high-salary jobs
that would otherwise be out of their reach.

9. Changing women
The desire to advance their career requires women to
commit to years of competition and relentless work
while establishing a stable, successful working
situation. This often means late nights at the office and
frequent business trips with little time to maintain a
successful relationship, let alone start a family. In the
past, these years were used to settle down in a
relationship and have children, but now many women
are putting motherhood on hold while they
concentrate on advancing their careers.

10. Not only are women living different lives than their
mothers before them, they are living longer lives as
well. According to the Center for Disease Control,
the life expectancy of an American woman in 1900
was 48.3 years. In 1950 their life expectancy rose to
71.1 years, and in 2000 they reached a new high with
a life expectancy of 79.5 years.

11. The modern career woman,
equipped with a rich education and a
powerful drive, boasts a different
image than her female
predecessors. The life of a woman
has changed drastically over the
past hundred years, and will
continue to evolve for years to
come. With their access to high
degrees of education, women are
able to venture into new fields and
excel in new careers, and by doing
so are changing the role they play in
society.

12. Today women are taking a different approach
towards their health than they did in previous
generations. Seeking information through
available resources including newspapers,
magazines and the Internet, women today are
more health conscious and informed. They are
taking an active role in their health care by
learning to demand certain tests, get second
opinions and to ask their doctors all of the
right questions.

13. Looking ahead
Today at the dawn of the 21st century the women
across the world are placed at a position of
advantage. They are literally on the move. They are
paying heed to their inner voice. They are no longer
interested in hollow jargon and jingoism. They are
finding their individual and collective voice. They are
aligned with their conscience, moving ahead with
purposeful strides.

14. Let me assure you that the 21st century is the
century of the ‘feminine’. If you don’t believe me
now, you soon will......
