Nature is feminist

 Materialism preached that this world is real and other then this world, things are secondary. Hindus by nature practice this materialism but this thought which flourished many times within this civilization was crushed by the idealistic thoughts by showing fear of god and curses of priests.

Invention of materialism were interpreted as gift of spiritualism for example the pushp vahana (flower vehicle) described in Ramayana was possible by materialistic approach but it is described as the spiritual vehicle.

The Charvaka philosophy school is the oldest materialistic stream of India and even in the epics like Mahabharata, there are quotes of this school and even the name of philosopher Charvaka mentioned. The original text of this school is unfortunately lost but principles of this school are found in references in other schools and in other books.

The major setback of this school is that it is largely made to believe that they believe in only one thing which is ‘eat drink and marry and eat butter even one has to borrow.’ There are controversies about this school but still there is an example that the materialist school had followed ethics and also designed fabrics of society.

There are proves that this school was not against society or not parallel to animal kingdom but taught the reality of this world.

There are also versions that this school emerged against the excessive use of Vedic rituals and against caste pattern in India, like Marxists as an anti-thesis, but rarely any great research has taken up to understand the meaning of materialism in Indian context.

Nature is feminist, aggressive and active, like a woman who takes care of her family and her house, she is the one who make family and transform the rituals and customs from one generation to another.

The feminist power is the source of this world. The world which moves not only on materialistic requirements but also the psychology of human nature including lust, hopes, desire, jealousy, hatred, love, frustration and with such feelings it continue growing with symbolic life. Even at present, people are living materialistic lives and made spiritualism as tool to pretend that real life is not material.

In North-East part of the country there was a ritual and practiced in certain communities that when there are no rains and condition erupt drought like, women gathered in open in dried fields and performed dance to lure the god of rains, Indra, who excited with such performance and desirably rush to such place and pour water.

There are customs in some of the tribes of Madhya Pradesh in which woman power is used to cultivate good crops. The materialism is symbolic and maintains that the world is real and has certain principles.

The Charvaka thought was later so suppressed that there is less known about the ethics and principle of life in this philosophy which were framed for a better life by other spiritual schools of India but still practices of certain rituals mark the importance of this material school in India. The literature which are available shows that the world is real and therefore living a life is important and this life will not return back again.

No one knows what lies after death and no one knows either soul exits even after body perished. The reality at present is to make better future. “Such thinking washes the cry of deeds and guilt of past and also hope and expectation of tomorrows.” This philosophy also supports the concept of hard work to make the life better and more better every day.

On the contrary, the spiritual thought restrain people from doing whatever they wanted to do or to work hard, “The spiritual thought believe that it is the god who decide fate of a man and therefore nothing can be changed without the desire of god and therefore man hesitate to work, let the fortune fall on me,”
