"Pithru devo Bhava " are the great, Vedic sayings. We all know the meaning of it.
Mother and father are respected equal to God.
Mother is always given first reverence. Why?? Because, she alone can give birth to a new life.; she has the power of creation; The priceless special gift given to a Female by Almighty is, this Power of creation. So, all Female are by birth, Empowered. All female creatures of Almighty are born empowered. Then, where the question of " empowering a female" by somebody else araises. All female are energy stores by default. This is very clearly mentioned in Gunatrayavibhagayoga, as said in the below given sloka. But, how much sanctity to be bestowed to behold this sacred gift of Devine, depends upon the value one attributes to that.
Sarvayonishu kowntheya murthayaha sambhavanthiya
Thasam brahma Mahadyoni raham, beejapradah pitha
"All living beings are born out of different wombs of different creatures; the Great nature is
the womb, I am simply the seed giving father."
This is why Motherhood is considered as a sacred designation of any female.
When Devine blesses, a female becomes mother.
"Beejam mam sarvabhuthanam ""
Says Lord in Rajavidyarajaguhya yoga. Seed of all living beings is That Paramatma only.
Human is simply instrumental.
"Ya Devi sarvabhuteshu Matrurupana samsthitha".
In all female beings, Devine resides in Motherly form, ie, as Reproducing power.
That's why a female is born empowered, born energised.
