Twenty Five Duties a Soul Embodied as a Woman Should Fulfill

Ninety five percent of Vedic scriptures teach how to interact with the material world in order to progress and only five percent are about spirituality. The main principles we have to respect in our daily life are Desa, Kala, Patra, which mean Place, Time, Circumstances.

The time we live at is called Kali Yuga (Iron Age) and is characterized by the degradation of spirituality (See Kali Yuga- Age of Quarrel).

Our circumstances are defined by our previous lives, which are the reasons we are born in a specific country and family, with specific inclinations and abilities. All of this is very carefully designed to facilitate our progress (See Law of Karma).

Place means a human body and specific gender.

Below are the 25 duties a woman should complete to succeed in a female embodiment.

1. Creating a family.

2. Preserving the family.

3. Not fulfilling the duties of a man.

4. Organizing the household and doing all home duties.

5. Dressing fancier rather for home than for going out.
