To The Women Of The World Poem by V Neelakandaru Bhattathiri

Oh, mothers of the world you are divine,
Oh, daughters of the world you are divine,
Oh, sisters of the world you are divine,
Oh, wives of the world you are divine,
Oh, lady-lovers of the world you are divine,
Oh, lasses of the world you are divine,
Oh, girls of the world you are divine,
Oh, women of loose morals you are divine
Oh, women of the world listen to my humble words.

You are nothing but the Almighty in feminine form
You are the very soul of worldly life,
As well as of the soul of Spiritual life,
You have been sung in lovely terms,
In scriptures of the East and West,
Written at the time of the world's birth,
When the Almighty created Man and wife.
Scriptures written in times of yore,

Have sung of your lordly grace,
It was then that you were 'angels'
But later, Satan brought you down.
Satan brought to you lust and greed,
And put out the light of Truth in you
The havoc done is stopped by 'Him',
The kind and merciful Lord.
And He has blessed you to see
How great you are here in the world,
It is through you, the Great Almighty
Has taken incarnations for blessing the world,
With His supreme nectarine Grace.

Oh, women, the real 'You' is the Almighty
Who has assumed forms innumerable
For the sake of His beloved children
In forms masculine and feminine.
