Step beyond traditional boundaries in "Beyond Patriarchy: Reclaiming the Feminine in Sacred Texts." In this special episode, Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi celebrate a year of groundbreaking dialogue by exploring how women’s voices have historically been sidelined in spiritual traditions—and how they are reclaiming their rightful place today. Drawing on the legacy of the Seneca Falls Convention and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and examining the Bhagavad Gita through a contemporary, inclusive lens, the hosts dive deep into how reclaiming the feminine transforms both faith and society.

Key topics covered:

  • The historic Seneca Falls Convention and its relevance to modern women’s rights
  • The influence of the Declaration of Sentiments and the Woman's Bible
  • The impact of patriarchy in both Western and Eastern religious traditions
  • How religious texts have reinforced and now challenge women’s subjugation
  • The importance of gender-neutral, inclusive interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures
  • Celebrating Chapter 9, Sloka 32 of the Gita as a verse of empowerment and equality
  • The role of spirituality versus institutional religion in fostering freedom and equality
  • Personal stories of empowerment, sisterhood, and advocacy in the yoga and spiritual communities
