Women & Leadership
In Hinduism, Brahmans are displayed in both male and female forms. Every significant god has a goddess counterpart and many Hindus worship the Great Goddess wholly. In Hinduism the feminine is highly active. In fact, the word for "goddess" in Hinduism is shakti, which translated means, "power" or "energy."
All these Goddesses and deities (top) are worshipped for their ability to do things outside human ability. They can contact spirits, heal souls and illnesses, and ultimately end changing lives.
