This Women\u2019s Day, I am dedicating the blog to two Kritika\u2019s – one who has finished her engineering and working for multinational in one of the major city of India and the other medical student currently studying in our university\u00a0 in the Himalayan Institute of Medical science. Randomly I asked what would be a key word which would summarize `Women\u2019s Day\u2019 for them. Very interestingly, both Kritika\u2019s said \u2018equal opportunity\u2019. I asked the Kritika studying in Swamiji\u2019s place to elaborate what she meant by equal opportunity and added that we should respect the fact that men and women are built with different strengths. We talked.\u00a0 But her reasoning further was mind-blowing. She said she aspired for taking up Psychiatry further on after her graduation, but would her parents concede?\u00a0 Would her peers and society give her the same respect that other branches get? She had a point.\u00a0 I tried to enthuse her by telling about Swami Rama and his work with mind-body control.\u00a0 She knew of the Founder, his experiments etc.\u00a0 But there are so many other variables for the way forward.\u00a0 As I close, I can only pray for this place to give her the strength to fulfill her innate need to take up this profession respectfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cDo you know who first taught meditation in action? You may believe that was Buddha, Krishna or Christ, but actually the founders of meditation in daily life were women\u201d –<\/em> Inspired Thoughts of Swami Rama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
