A young seeker raises a powerful question about hypocrisy—why is it that society worships the Goddess for nine days, yet for the rest of the year women are neglected and disrespected? In his response, Acharya Prashant goes beyond the narrow lens of gender and explains that Devi is not merely a symbol of womanhood but of Prakriti itself. He connects this ancient symbolism to today’s urgent crises—climate change, environmental destruction, and gender injustice—delivering a timeless reflection on spirituality, ecology, and freedom that challenges us to look beyond rituals and reclaim the true essence of Devi.
