[1]According to Transgender
folklore, in the epic Ramayana when Lord Rama leaves for exile with Sita and
Lakshmana, he is followed by people and at the banks of the river, at the edge
of the forest he turns and appeals to his followers to wipe their tears and
says ‘men and women please go back and perform your duties’. He turns and never
looks back. While returning back after fourteen years he finds a group of
people still waiting for him. Upon questioning he realizes that the words ‘men
and women’ were not meant for the group and hence they stayed back. This was
the transgender group that waited for Lord Rama for fourteen years. Lord Rama
blessed transgender for their devotion as they waited for his return for
fourteen years (Lal 1999; Krishna and Gupta 2002).
[1]In one of the myths of the Hindu
religion, Lord Shiva breaks off his phallus and tosses it and the phallus
breaks in pieces and extends fertility over the entire earth. Though Lord Shiva
loses the power to procreate, his phallus becomes a symbol of ‘universal
fertility’ and therefore one can trace the cult of lingam (phallus) worship.
This is seen as an exact description with hijras who themselves are impotent
but bless others for fertility (Lal 1999).
