Before existence of any other religion in this world existed Hinduism (called Sanatana Dharma in Vedic times)… something that existed from times immemorial… prime reason why Hinduism is also called a way of life.

All goddesses in Hinduism though attribute of God Almighty represent the manifest creation… the visible world, nature… prakriti (as we called it in Hindi).

The bondage between Lord Krishna and womenfolk was natural, one-sided! […]
How do we define a human being philosophically… the sum total of ones thoughts at a given moment of time! What differentiates a king from a commoner? Was it not mental prowess alone?

The next day during […]
