Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I think the Stri Dharma Paddhati is a handbook (paddhati) about the duties (dhrama) of women (stri). I do not see any connection with prostitution. Alexandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Dear Defective Mongoloid: It could also be because, rather than challenging a social institution and taking away sex for hire away from men who don't truly value the personhood of women (whether as wives, mothers, or just for sex), it's a way for men to keep the sex workers working by convincing them that they can be spiritual in that line of work. , "Detective_Mongo_Phd" <detective_mongo_phd@h...> wrote: > Because Dummy, there are millions of prostitutes who need God! > - > Mary Ann > > Friday, August 06, 2004 5:15 PM > Re: Stri Dharma Paddhati > > > Why is there a scripture that extolls prostitution as the path to God? > > , "Detective_Mongo_Phd" > <detective_mongo_phd@h...> wrote: > > Why do you want a scripture which extolls prostitution as the path > to God? > > - > > alexandra_108 > > > > Thursday, August 05, 2004 11:13 PM > > Stri Dharma Paddhati > > > > > > I am looking for this text. > > If someone knows more about the text, please let me know. > > > > Alexandra > > > > > > > > > > Take Mail with you!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Not sure if Alexandra still needs this info, but there is a book on the Stridharmapaddhati which I highly recommend: Leslie, Julia. The Perfect Wife: The Orthodox Hindu Women According to the Stridharmapaddhati of Tryambakayajvan . New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 1989. I got a paperback version thru Penguin books I think.
