Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 in the sankara concordance, there were no topical entries on women, any variant of "sex," or gender. there were no entries on marriage. there was one citation on women in bhagavadgita at 1.41 and several references in matsyapurana, arthashastra, the laws of manu, but i won't list these unless anyone is interested. generally, they're somewhat predictable. there's also a modern essay that i came across, "varieties of hindu female asceticism" by lynn tesky denton. maxwell ___________ Message envoye depuis http://www.ifrance.com ou 3615 IFRANCE iFrance : Hebergement gratuit-Emails gratuits-Internet sans abonnement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see the citations with the permission of the list owner. Moreover, I know another verse in the BG 9:32 about women. Yesterday, while I was reading a book on the Gayathri, I found a certain verse from the Manu Smrti which says that in the earlier days, women too learned the Vedas and did the Sandhya Vandanam. Let me extract the portion and post it to the list after the weekend. Regards.
