Vrindavan Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I would like to know if there are female Yogi ? such as in India http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3E0xNaPbZ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durgaputra Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 These are tourist videos. The Naga sadhus to my knowledge do not accept women as sanyasis. These are other paramparas who do. Using the word Yogi in the true sense- of course there are lots of women yogis. It is considered extremely auspicous for a Devi devotee to have a woman Guru.

Kali_Upasaka Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sri Ramakrishna's Tantrik Guru was Maa Bhairavi Brahmani who was a Vaishnava. Such paramparas or sampradhayas do still exist in India. You do see them some times in temples. But then they are very secretive and reticent and I do not think you will be able to locate one.
