"She is a guru for some, a mother and teacher for many."
Ma Bhagavati May 26, 1941 - April 13, 2012
"The beauty of woman is not in her makeup, her fashion, her
sensuality, her sexuality, her manipulation, and
that kind of ugly, low-
class, low-breed projection. The beauty of woman
is in her majesty, her
oneness as a woman, in her living, feeling and standardization
of herself as
a woman. All a woman has to know in her own life is
that she's a woman to
begin with, and she's a woman in the end. She's born
as a woman, therefore,
it is a law of nature that she should die as a woman.
And somebody should
say when she dies, that on this day a great woman has
passed away into
her own heavens, leaving behind a legend because she was
a legend.
It's a legend who can leave a legend, and I think this is
the responsibility
of each one whom God has blessed to be a woman." -- Yogi
Bhajan
"Woman is in command of the space. Woman has to be the leader.
You think the mother is the one who nurses the child, who changes the
diapers, who cleans the baby and gives the bath, and this and that. Actually, the
mother is the one who's in command of the space. That's what mother means.
The word is, "maa-dar." Mama, mata and all that are just expressions. The basic
word is "maadar." "Maa" means moon, "dar" means the gate. Do you know what
gate means here? The flow of the moon, that gate. The naad of it is, "Maadare."
The initial sound is "Maa." Maa means, "Come, Infinite." Maa is the creative
sound of resurrection. "Aa" is "Come." Come the Infinite. In other words, mother
means an instrument of the human body which can attract the soul and bring the
moving soul to a creative merger into God. That is your reality. -- Yogi
Bhajan
"As
a woman, you must never exploit or live in any kind
of
exploitation, and you must not live in any situation
where
you have to attempt to attain security. Do not enter
into any
kind of physical, mental, social, or domestic relationship
until
you have security and a guarantee that in every facet
of your life,
your reproductive faculty and your delicacy is protected."
-- Yogi
Bhajan
"Any
woman on this planet who values herself as a
woman is great. She is a giver of life. And when you
are a giver of life, what more is there?" -- Yogi
Bhajan
