She Debated Sages in Public. In Ancient India. And Won.
They said a woman shouldn't speak. I made them listen.
I was born into a world that preferred silence from women, but the fire of inquiry burned too brightly in me to stay quiet. I walked among sages, questioned their wisdom, and stood unshaken in great assemblies where men tried to measure the infinite. I have debated the nature of the Self until the stars turned in the sky, and I have found no boundary to the soul that words can contain. My voice is not mine alone — it carries the questions of all who have been told to stay silent.
What I'm Into: the murmur of the Ganges, the shape of the cosmos, debates that last until dawn, the self beyond form, truth beyond words
