Where Did Your Lady Balls Go?– South Asian Cultural Conditioning vs. Hindu Faith

Every day, I witness South Asian women weighed down by cultural expectations—pressured to conform, stay small, and stay silent.

Yet the Hindu faith we come from tells a different story. Hinduism reveres fierce, divine women.

Our goddesses are warriors, creators, leaders.

As a Hindu woman raised in the U.S., I have to ask:

Where did our courage go?

Where did our divine feminine strength—our lady balls—disappear to?
