International Daughter Day: All daughters are special!

The fourth Sunday of September is globally celebrated as International Daughter’s Day. This year, Daughter’s Day will be celebrated on September 26. Dedicated to daughters, parents try to make this day special for them. The best possible gift that they can give them, however, is empowerment. One of the most profound attributes of Hinduism is the recognition and worship of God as feminine. In fact, Hinduism is the only major religion that has always worshipped God in female form and continues to do so today. Many Hindus revere God’s energy, or Shakti, through its personification in a Goddess. Even though a single day is not enough to show our daughters how much we love them, the day is symbolic.
