Vrindavan 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durgaputra 1 Report post 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 1 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
