Chennai: “Both men and women equal in sports,” said India’s women cricket team captain Mithali Raj, adding that she would insist her team not to compare with other gender or other team and players.
“Find strength between yourselves. Individual player’s goals and strength are the collective strength of whole team. Every sport has own journey. Comparing with different sports or faces is unfair,” she said.
“Woman athletes put equal hardwork as any male athletes. Sports don’t see gender. Rules are same for everybody. In society, sport or any field, don’t perceive things in terms of gender or caste,” she said, speaking at Ekam Peace Festival.
“Women are half of humanity. How can there be peace in the world if tears course down their eyes every day in helplessness?” said Sri Preethaji, co-creator of Ekam. Preethaji stated that, in every crisis situation women are the greatest and silent sufferers.
“Along with the external changes a woman must awaken to four aspects of her power. She must awaken to the power of Shakti – the animating potential , Amba- the healing potential, Kali – the wisdom potential, and Parvati- the playful potential. When the power of all these four aspects get unified in a woman she becomes whole and nurtures life around her.”
