THE COMPLETE MAN
Life Positive|April 2021
On an explorative journey with Satish Purohit, one can understand the concept of divine masculinity as a counter to toxic variety of masculinity found in various spiritual traditions and its role in co-creating a New Age of elevated gender synergy
Satish Purohit
THE COMPLETE MAN

First of all, to begin with gender cannot be a basis for deciding people’s archetypal roles in the functioning of the world. Gender biases, especially the ever so existent male superiority is very deep-rooted in the society. Although, the arrogance and privilege attached to be born as a male has been shaken by women today rising in almost all fields of work and power, hence moving the women from a marginalized section to an empowered one. Even the old notions of masculinity are softening, from being rugged, aggressive and macho to being more gentle, sensitive, empathetic, and in touch with their intuitive, emotional side. The future man is not self-serving and toxic but an agent of happiness, progress and growth.

A woman’s highest calling is to lead a man to his soul, so as to unite him with the Source. Her lowest calling is to seduce, separating man from his soul and leave him aimlessly wandering. A man’s highest calling is to protect the woman, so she is free to walk the earth unharmed. A man’s lowest calling is to ambush and force his way into the life of a woman. - Cherokee Proverb

Divine masculinity

Divine masculinity as a concept is quite mystical and is a part of divine Leela or spiritual play of the universe unfolds. It is like the giver of the seed, the original impetus who awakens the inherent potential of the feminine and together they set universe into motion.
