Indic Scriptures and Epics are philosophical treatises which contain frameworks for building good societies and individual lives. They espouse the cause of Purushartha and strive to create Dharma consciousness in our minds. Our Scriptures and Epics serve as civilizational encyclopaedias they store our perspective of life, 1 intellectual thought, and contemplations on various matters.
Our epics throw light on the kind of social organization, social relationships and social entities that have been nurtured over millennia, shaping our civilization across the centuries, both consciously and subconsciously. Our Epics may not be exact histories in the sense the word history is used by the modern world. However, the ruminations and lived experiences from within society have shaped these stories. They were ideals that the society sought. And one important aspect of these stories is the characterization and depiction of women.
Hindu Epics present fascinating, inspiring, dynamic and independent women, each one a woman of substance. The imagination of women and the status they had in these accounts throw light both on our ancient society and the civilizational history of India. Roots of this dynamism lie in the philosophy of our parampara. The dynamic of the universe is represented by both Devi and Devata.
