HE, SHE AND...........
(Third sex)
Kurukshetr.
Fierce battle between Pandavas and Kauravas was raging
and it was under deciding phase.
It was told for a sure win, an human sacrifice was required.
Whoever sacrifices the human life, they will win the battle.
In consultation with Lord Krishna, who was staying in the
battle field as Arjun's chariot driver, Aravan was selected as
the human sacrifice. Aravan also agreed gladly for
being the human sacrifice. But he had one request
to make to Lord Krishna. Before sacrificing himself,
Aravan desired married life for a night and enjoy the
sexual pleasure. But who will marry the person in such
condition. Nobody came forward.
In these odd prevailing condition, Lord Krishna himself takes
the Avtar as Mohini, a beautiful lady. The marriage between
Aravan and Mohini was solemnised in the battle field.
Aravan ties the Mangal Sutra, sacred thread to Mohini,
decorated with all ornaments and glass bangles.
For that night, Aravan enjoys the newly wedded life with Mohini.
Next day, Aravan was ceremoniously sacrificed in the battle field.
Mohini mourns the death of Aravan.
Her Mangal Sutra was cut and the glass bangles in her arms
were broken. She becomes a widow.
In every year this epic is re-enacted in Koovagam in Tamilnadu.
The temple is called Koothandavar temple and people come
here from all over India and even from foreign countries.
They who participate in the ceremonies are called,
Aravanis, Aravan's wifes.
See here Lord Krishna's role. Being a male, he assumes
a female role. Similarly, so called eunuchs, hijras or Aravanis
attain female characteristics. They are born males with female
characteristics. This may be due to natural biological reasons
or forced physical reasons.
Not only Lord Shiva, all humans as such are dualistic in nature.
Arthanariswaras, half male and other half female.
Not only in depiction an in truth and facts.
They contain both male and female characteristics.
But according to chromosomal combination and genetic
dictates, one characteristic dominates as male or female.
In children this is dormant and not predominant. When they are in
the ages of Adolescence just before puberty, the gonads, sex glands
start functioning. Then the problem the evident.
In male the female hormones, estrogen, abundants and in female the
male hormones, testosterone. Accordingly the characters develops and
perpetuates. The apparent males feel shy of males and females
feel shy of female and they are comfortable with oppsite sex.
They like transgender appearance and cross dressing and make ups.
This is genetic aberration or variation.
At this stage hormonal therapies and medical and surgical
reassignment processes are available for them for rehabilitation.
The society does not approve them and reject their behaviour
and condemn them. Their parents themselves feel shy in society,
and they are in dilemma. They don't know what to do. Such transgender
children are psychologically forced to leave their home by differentiation,
unkind comments and harassments.
The society till their end never accepts them for lack of individual self and
sex identity. Where to accommodate them in male or female category.
No jobs are offered to them, even by Government.
Their cognitive and mental ability was found to be good or even better
than normal persons. And they do not lack any physical ability.
They can perform any functions requiring mental and physical ability.
They are forced to such an mental agony, they are forced to beat
dead bodies of such persons with chappals by the community, crying
"Oh God don't give such state in our rebirth."
In his Psychoanalytic theory, Freud has described the "penis envy".
In which the females envy the male penis , the much importance to
the organ. But in the transgender attainment males sacrifice their
penis at the altar of Goddess. It is cruel and secretive act of mutilation
of sexual organ by enoch doctors. This cult known as
"Yellamma cult" is prevalent in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Without any job these people involve themselves in begging,
petty crimes and homosexual activities. Awareness has dawn
among these people. Their demand for decent life
and acceptance by the society is loud.
Some of the state govts. has considered their demands
sympathetically. Issue of ration cards, provision of govt. jobs
to these people has been done.
It is considered that they are from Lord Krisna and they gather in group,
sing , dance and bless, when they learn about the birth of a child
and demand more money if the child is male. People also
give happily.
These people are co-human beings and they desire our
acceptance and dignity. When we do consider animals and birds
with such an outlook, Why not our co-humans.
They deserve.

Supreme court of India has finally approved their status
and directed the governments to provide all welfare
and safe-guard measures for them.
Today (13-5-2014) evening, is the symbolic marriage day of
eunuchs assembled all over from India and abroad at
Koovagam, in Tamilnadu.
And tomorrow, they break their Mangal Sutr and bangles
weeping and wailing.
We fought for their case six or seven years back
and today, they are approved human beings in India
with respect and honor.
