Quotes on woman power

"If a woman sits with folded hands in her lap for a few minutes every day, and feels she is a container so vast that she contains the whole Universe, she will never feel weak or have any problems. There is nothing beyond woman except God."

“Adi Shakti is the Divine Mother, the primal, protective, and generating energy in the cosmos. Let us call on the Divine Mother, the Infinite, the powerful. Her jantra (symbolic form) is the two swords of God to protect you, the center of your world. These are the two-edged swords of the being, the negative and the positive. This is her being. This is her presence.” – 11/16/73

"Aad Shakti Namo Namo. That's what you are: the primal nucleus power with absolutely no deficiency; complete and perfect and positive; one who can create another human being out of her. She can bring God on Earth, she can bring a saint, and she can bring heavens, and she can build a house with a needle which man cannot build with millions of dollars and with all his vigilance. When you are corrupt, you are terribly corrupt. When you are not, you are the most powerful individual psyche on the planet." -7/12/89

"By construction, the fulfillment of a woman is motherhood—and motherhood does not mean that she gets pregnant and delivers a baby. If you understand her total behavior, you will understand her motherhood. Her motherhood is service, her motherhood is sacrifice, her motherhood is relationship. When she knows motherhood, she is fulfilled.
[The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan p. 28]

"The universal Infinity we bow to, this Adi Shakti, this kanda, that represents Infinity. That's our symbol. When we worship Infinity, then we appreciate the Infinity, we bow to the Infinity, and we ask the Infinity to be with us. When you are with Infinity, you are not limited."

"You cannot love me if you will not love your first teacher, who is woman. You are born of a woman. If you do not learn to respect woman, the Supreme Consciousness will not talk to you. You will end up with broken homes and broken hearts.
[The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan p. 28]

"Woman has to understand her role. Her role is not to worship God; her role is to be the very self of God. Her oneness can affect and open every heart."

“We put a turban on and put Adi Shakti on. That means, whenever you look at yourself, you will see one thing: you are nothing but divine. Your clarity of mind embodies itself in that reality when you become that light of God. You don't have to look beautiful to the whole world. The whole world has to come down to bow to you, because you belong to God.”
-5/19/86

"There was one primal force—Aadi Shakti. She has three disciples; Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh—the one who created, the one who sustained, and one who destroyed or delivered. And those three letters became God: G for generation, generating and being generous; O for organizing, ovulation and effectiveness (that is Vishnu); and Mahesh, the one who delivers or destroys, and in principle, whatever you cannot deliver shall destroy you."

"You are woman, not a playmate. You are a woman, not a good-for-nothing. No creature on this planet has the beauty, the strength, and the power that you have as a woman."
