Abstract: Hindu religion generally portrays their goddesses as equal to gods with a unique perception of gender balance and equality. The neutral concept is also reflected in popular dialogues of common people who proudly chant “Mother India” with a reverence to feminist ideology strongly grounded in nationalistic and socialistic prospects. However, very little is known in the social science literature on India’s sexual and spiritual paradox. This article provides an insight into the ancient Hindu scriptural revelations and contemporary practices about sexuality and spirituality. Keywords: India; sexuality; spirituality; Hinduism; society; gender equality
