Story of the first "Goddess"

Story of the first “Goddess”

      The time is of many years ago. There is an earthquake and existence of all earthlings is in danger. All most all the creatures died. But after long suffering for life, somehow very few survived.

     These survivors lived together at one place. None can remember his/her life of before calamity. They started living life with new way, without prejudices and beliefs. Men and women lived together with animals. They grew trees which can give them tasty fruits.

     There lived one man named Manu, they named as if they want (as we named our domestic animals), lived with his liked beautiful woman- Rati.

     Once, Manu find some ruined heritage at distance of their living which is not much ruined in calamity. He showed it to others.  They came and think together. And they were come to know, they interpreted that, that place might be the place of worshipping. There is an antique idol, beautiful with shining eyes and smiling face, Beautiful than all the people who lived there. The people might worship the idol as their “super power” at that place. And the idol is of woman “Goddess”

     Manu and other people also started to follow the idea of worshipping the “Goddess”. Not only men but women also started believing in their super power “Goddess”. They find the answer of their existence through the arrival of that Goddess. As she is supreme or super power, may be that Goddess made them – men and women both.

     After arrival of “Goddess”, like other men, Manu also started giving respect to Rati. They became very happy when they are going to become parents. Manu is very happy for that and his love also increased more, because he believed that after arrival of their “Goddess” he could get happiness.

     But he also confused and thought a lot that, if she is “Goddess” who made them, then who is her companion? He went to the place of worshipping; he started observing idol, all the broken walls and surroundings. After keen observation, he found that, there is sculptor of many figure on walls, the figures of men, beautiful but ancient and ruined, and not as beautiful as the idol. He thought that these all men might be Deities and Gods. He understood that they are not men whom made by “Goddess” like them but they are also God because of their figures which indicates superiority than human beings. Still, as other people of that place, have a faith in their super power “Goddess” much.  

     Time passed, once, Manu shocked to find Rati with another man. He could not blame Rati because there was no low of marriage or which says, that one man/woman has to love only one woman/man.

     But normal human feelings of jealousy, anger, hate, feeling of ego or ownership and feeling of to be deceived are raised in him. His respect was converted into insult; his love was changed into hate for Rati. He could not accept Rati’s any relation with others. Even after Rati’s defence that, she has no any relation with to that man as with Manu. And Manu was only her first love, first man, Manu did not believe in her words because he has faith in his eyes only. (Because he did not read Othello)

     He left away Rati, event he did not accept their child. He left away home and his legs reached at the place of worshipping. He saw beautiful idol, all the figures of Deities. He saw the face of Rati in the idol of ‘Goddess”. He lost his awareness, and started thinking, “may be this Goddess has many men for her love, may be she deceived her first lover, her first companion as if Rati did with me. And may be the child was not accepted as I did.”

     He thought that, they are those children who are rejected from their parents because of deceiving and hating. He became conscious, he pick the idol and destroy it with throwing it to the walls. He could not harm the walls. He didn’t know, either he was not capable to harm the walls or he has no wish to harm the figures of deities.

     After that, people of that place could not believe in the Goddess, because idol was lost from them, only figures and belief of deities’ remains. They started believing in deities in man “God” only. They find the answer of existence from deities. Thus, men domesticated women and destroyed the first “Goddess”.

           

       For many days we are thinking about the perspective and situation that if the God is woman. This story reflects the situation of woman God in general world. This fantasy story raise one important question that, if we transform the gender, if woman God is creator, can we accept her as ‘creator’ and not a ‘mother’?
