Yogi Ashwini's writeup on ‪#‎WomensDay‬ March 8,2015 which in Daily Post
"A woman is embodiment of Shakti, pure energy. It is this Shakti from which the entire creation derives its strength and stimulus. The magnitude of this energy is beyond measure. The entire creation is manifested from the womb of Mata Adi Shakti. A woman through her perseverance can achieve the infinite as was exhibited by Parvati when she won Shiva as her husband.
Our ancient people acknowledged this and hence in the Vedic times women were given the highest regard. There is a Vedic saying, ‘Where women are worshipped, the gods dwell there.’ In fact Manusmriti explains: “A woman must be honoured and adorned by their fathers, brothers, husbands, and brothers‑in‑law, who desire their own welfare. Where women are honoured, the gods are pleased there; but where they are not honoured, no sacred rite yields rewards. The houses in which female relations, not being duly honoured, pronounce a curse, perish completely, as if destroyed by magic.”
The fate of Ravana was ordained when he dared disgrace a woman. Ravana met Vedavati at her hermitage, where she had been performing penance with the intention of winning Lord Vishnu as her husband. He proposed to her but being rejected, he attempted to molest her by pulling her hair. Incensed by the insult, Vedavati cut her hair, and entered the blazing fire promising that she would be reborn to aid the destruction of Ravana. It was she who was born again as Sita, and was the moving cause for Ravana’s death, though Rama was the agent."

Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...
