Women in Hinduism obtain a very important and superior
position to men. In the Hindu religion
only powerful words are feminine, like “shakti” which means “power” and
“strength.” Women and men were equal in education and the religion itself. Women participated in sacrifices together
with men. According to Hinduism women
was created to company men, and continuation of family lineage. Women duties
are to help the husband and continue the family tradition. She gives birth to
children and watch over them and men help to provide for the family. Hinduism
religion worship women, as aspects mother goddess and consorts of male gods.
I actually like how
the Hinduism religion is set up. They display women as an important role in the
religion. Not only do they respect women equally as men, they show how women
help the men and create the family and help keep the tradition. They don’t just
bash women and make them seem useless and just a person who give birth to
children and have no say in anything. They actually worship women and that’s a
beautiful thing.

I love this! This was so interesting to read! I never knew that women were looked at as superior to men in the Hinduism religion. It is so refreshing to hear something like this. Now we should make it this way for every religion! Women being worshiped for their work by men is rare. It is also rare to hear that men respect and love the women in their lives for doing what they do. I think it is so interesting to read something like this about a different country or religion because I have never really looked into this information. I cannot wait to read more!
