Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I search for information about the possibility for women in the Hindu tradition to live an ascetic life. Are there monasteries for women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi Alexandra, Never heard of women who live ascetic lives in the Hindu Tradition as such. However, there are some reclusive places in India where women are known to be ascetics. I heard of a group in South India who worship Kali Ma in the form of Ambika (and possible Lalitha). Sorry I can't remember the exact location of the monastery or what its name is. It is definitely of the Tantric Tradition.
