In order to feel a deep connection with the feminine aspect of the divine, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa sometimes dressed in women's attire and engaged in activities traditionally associated with women. This behavior was seen by his followers as a manifestation of his intense devotion and his belief in the universality of the divine, transcending conventional gender norms.
"How can a man conquer passion? He should assume the attitude of a woman. I spent many days as the handmaid of God. I dressed in women’s clothes, put on ornaments, and covered the upper part of my body with a scarf, just like a woman." |
