Peace has been an important factor in every single win of hers” Says Saina Nehwal.
Inner peace is very important to act clearly and address difficult challenges for high performance athletes and for everyone else too. The support of friends, mentors, and family is important to remain peaceful through the thick and thin of life and achieve success”.
On a personal note she said, badminton is a very tough sport, where a single game can determine your defeat or victory. And she feels blessed to have a mother who inspires her and coaches who relax her and calm her. She said inner peace has been a critical factor in every single match she has won.
Ekam Co-creator Preethaji stated that, in every crisis situation woman are the greatest and silent sufferers. Because of COVID While the fall in the stock market, number of deaths and the lack of proper medical aid is noticed, the rise in domestic violence has gone unrecognized. She also said in many countries government laws are becoming tougher to eradicate the gender bias at corporations, violence against women, and many sectors are opening up to women. Countries, where women leaders were once unthinkable today have them in power. Many sports are accommodating women and are letting women carve a future.
She said - "Along with the external changes a woman must awaken to 4 aspects of her power. She must awaken to the power of Shakti - the animating potential, Amba- the healing potential, Kali - the wisdom potential, and Parvati- the playful potential. When the power of all these 4 aspects get unified in a woman, she becomes whole and nurtures life around her.
