A small excerpt (Pandit Vasudev to Shiva) from Amish’s ‘The
Secret of the Nagas’
“Most people believe there are many hundreds of ways of life
in the world; every civilization thinks it is unique in some way. But if you
actually distil the way people live there are only two ways: The Masculine and
The Feminine.”
And as he defines further, Masculine way is the ‘life by
laws: unchangeable, rigid laws’, the life of TRUTH, DUTY and HONOUR. Feminine
way is the ‘life of probabilities’, the code of success in which is
unmistakably PASSION, BEAUTY and FREEDOM.
Of course the theory above is at least 4000 years old but
some things never change, this concept has been here always as the concept of
Yang and Yin. So let’s work out and find the muscle forces and the feminine
beauty in our present.

First of all, make it very very clear that Masculine and
Feminine refer nowhere to Male and Female. So, it’s not an article committed to
the BIG ‘Men v/s Women’ battle. It goes deeper. Both forms are completely around us in each
and every element. Every man has a feminine heart somewhere and definitely
women do are masculine when it comes to their wrath or a strict diet schedule.
Let’s start with our government for example, undoubtedly
dictatorship is masculinity in its purest form, strict laws, perhaps the best
form till it reaches its pinnacle and tries to destroy every other format that
is different form its own. On the other hand, democracy represents the feminine
civilization with freedom and rights of speech, wealth and decision-making. You
can’t argue if one form is better than the other. If you consider dictatorship
as the wrong side, think again. Lord Ram’s Suryavanshi rule was one of the strongest
preachers of such a form and it was successful for the next thousands years
till the Chandravanshis fought back their way. And much before that, when the ‘Devas’
the GODs followed feminine rule against the masculine ‘Asuras’, Lord Rudra had
to abolish it to restore peace.
Well, I personally believe Rashtriya Swayamsevaka Sangh, the
big fat gun once RSS, represents the masculine form and the Congress tried to
form a feminine govt but it failed. In the kgp context, the academicians are
definitely masculine. There is a way which if followed will always ensure success
but then the path is a lot more complicated than what we wish, so just the few
tough ones, the maggus, actually follow it. Others like me are generous enough
to be carried away by the feminine approach.
Definitely, feminine aspect makes you love, appreciate
beauty and live a life of passion. But, the right balance is needed to
inculcate the discipline that’s where masculinity comes in. So, its just about
the right balance, nothing more nothing less.
