QUESTION ID:1

There was a high standard of learning for women also. In house, they might learn music and dancing. They had to undergo the Upanayana ceremony.

There were two types of educated women.

1. Sadyodwahas:
They are people who pursued studies till their marriages.

2. Brahmavadinis:
They are people who did not marry and pursued studies throughout their lives. Women used to learn Vedas and Vedangas. Their involvement was more in reciting hymns and other ritualistic operations. Women sages were called Rishikas. The scholarly women could be named as Maitreyi and Gargi.

This phase marks another transition from the spirit of Brahmanas to the spirit of the Upanishads. While the Brahmanas are called Karma Kanda (Karma is another word for yajna because of total known as Jnana Kanda because here knowledge becomes primary. Since the shift involved total change in attitude, it needed a link. This phase is called Aranyaka because it became relevant when men retired to forests due to old age. Why should old people retire to forests? Surely, this is a provoking. If old people retired to forest, then it must be due to strong affinity to the place of origin, which prompted them to choose so.

Hence, proper study of philosophy begins only from the Upanishads. In this connection, one question remains to be answered. The Aranyakas constitute a phase in the life of an individual.
