On March 7th, 2013 HASC launched the "Hindus United Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse Campaign" as part of its Women's Empowerment Initiative at SSVT in Maryland. The initiative is even more poignant today. HASC created a poster to be kept in places of worship so that those affected could speak up. Here is a link of the downloadable posters for your places of worship. Let us all be united in this effort.

Resurrected one of my earlier reflection of Sita as "Sitayanam.. A Woman’s Journey of Strength"
As I reflect, I see Sita, more than any other character, is an integral part of the Indian woman's psyche. At every stage of an Indian woman's life, her name is invoked. I find it amazing that one great epic written by a poet thousands of years ago has shaped and continues to shape and reshape the thinking of an entire culture. And, how certain aspects of a character have been emphasized more than others to suit the political and societal norms of the day. They have been understood or misunderstood to manage relationships through control and power.
