International women’s day Celebration at Firebird
SHAKTI SANSKRITI
"Energy, ability, strength, effort, power, capability"
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Marked annually on March 8th, International Women's Day (IWD) is one of the most important days of the year to celebrate women in all her achievements and success. Empowerment of women is imperative for the holistic development of any society. It strengthens the quality and enhances the quantity of the Human Resources obtainable. It is essential to the health and social development of families, communities and countries. When women are living safe, fulfilled and productive lives, they can reach their full potential contributing their skills to the workforce and can raise happier and healthier children
On this occasion, Firebird is happy to showcase Women achievers through Virtual meet empowered through promoting sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.
Sakthi Sanskriti means the Ultimate power of Devi, the Goddess. The Heavens cannot sustain creation without her. The concept of Ardhnarishver- Shiva and Shakti, together benignly ruling the cosmos is unique to our culture. Women were always seen in the image of the goddess. Of course, the goddess is still revered as the Mother Goddess, but people seem to have forgotten her human form. A salute to the Feminine I –Shakti –the many roles and indispensable contribution of women on Planet Earth! Let us also salute the compassionate, loving, kind, forgiving, healing and nurturing aspects of all women.
