Sri Gnanananda Giri Peetam wishes everyone a blessed, hope filled and joyous Vijayadasami. Today’s video celebrates the three Goddesses of Navarathri - Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi, through the women of this world, who are the embodiment of the Goddesses. Just like Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi represent strength, wisdom and prosperity, the love, compassion, power and resilience within every woman enables them to support each other, empower each other, become a beacon of hope and light within their families and the wider community, and rise above even the most difficult of challenges. The video also highlights that empowerment isn’t just a women’s issue-men need to be allies too.
A huge thank you to everyone who have contributed to this video, and the team that helped to collect all the testimonials.
A special thank you to the Peetam’s artistic team, KBS and YSS, and the creative director, LVS.
The public figures listed in the video are: Michelle Obama, Greta Thunberg, Kamala Harris, Bisan Owda, Hillary Clinton, Sophia Duleep Singh, Indhira Gandhi, Reshma Saujani, Maya Angelou, Alice Min Soo Chun, Ibtijah Muhammad, Dr Gao Yaojie, Malala Yousafzai, Sarojini Naidu, Rani Lakshmibai, Velu Naachiyar, Pine Leaf, Tania Major, Deb Haaland and Wilma Mankiller.
A huge thank you to some of these public figures, who were also very supportive of the video.
Most of all, thank you to our beloved Sathgurunathar and Swamiji for making all of this possible and for teaching us that all humans, irrespective of gender are equal in every way, and for emphasising that all women, irrespective of race, religion, caste, creed, background or status, are the embodiment of the Divine Mother. Without Their Grace, nothing would be possible.
