Actually, woman is considered as goddess of fortune, representative of the
goddess of fortune. We are misusing for sense gratification. No. They should be
respected as goddess of fortune. If one man has got nice wife, actually he has
got goddess of fortune. That is astrological calculation. A man is considered
to be fortunate in three ways. If he has got good wife then he is fortunate. If
he has got good son then he is fortunate. And if he has got plenty money he is
fortunate. So these are three standards of fortune; out of which one who has
got good wife, he is the most fortunate. So our society will try to make good
wives so that the boys, all boys, should, think himself always fortunate.
