VARNA VIDY : The Biological Basis of Varna Dharma, especially for Women and the dra Varna

Did women in ancient Bhrat recite the Veda-s, perform agnihotra and wear the yajopavta? Who were Rsika-s, Brahmavdini-s and Yogins, and how did they attain that state? Why are the rules of religious practices similar for women and the dra vara? Can women and the dra vara officiate as temple arcaka-s, and how would this impact them and the temple?Vara Vidy provides answers to all those who wish to know the science behind the dharmaastra rules for women and the dra vara. Going beyond the sociological understanding of vara based on jti-gua-karma, this book takes a deep dive into the biological basis of vara dharma to answer questions about women and the dra vara, especially in the context of religious practices.More than 100 sasktam verses from smrti-s (Manu, Yjavalkya, Parara, etc.), the Bhagvad Gt, rmad Bhgavatam, Upanisad-s and Tantra texts have been covered in this work, revealing their subtle meaning. Several published studies and modern scientific theories have also been included to ease the understanding of the present generation.The book not only answers burning questions of the present time but also explains the science behind the spiritual path prescribed for women and the dra vara. In the process of decoding the rules for women and the dra vara, the science of vara dharma itself stands revealed as an unintended consequence.
