Manu Smriti
  • Women must be honoured to ensure the gods are happy, to maintain a family unit and for happiness 
    l“55. Women must be honoured and adorned by their fathers, brothers, husbands, and brothers-in-law, who desire (their own) welfare.”
    l“56. Where women are honoured, there the gods are pleased; but where they are not honoured, no sacred rite yields rewards.”
    l“57. Where the female relations live in grief, the family soon wholly perishes; but that family where they are not unhappy ever prospers.”
    l“58. The houses on which female relations, not being duly honoured, pronounce a curse, perish completely, as if destroyed by magic.”
    l“59. Hence men who seek (their own) welfare, should always honour women on holidays and festivals with (gifts of) ornaments, clothes, and (dainty) food.”
    l“60. In that family, where the husband is pleased with his wife and the wife with her husband, happiness will assuredly be lasting.”
    l“61. For if the wife is not radiant with beauty, she will not attract her husband; but if she has no attractions for him, no children will be born.”
    l“62. If the wife is radiant with beauty, the whole house is bright; but if she is destitute of beauty, all will appear dismal.”

Upanishads
  • God is described as both Male and Female which implies both are equal
    “Thou alone art the woman, the man; again. Thou art the boy and the girl. Thou art the ordainer, the King Varuna, the Year, Aryama, the all."
  • Ability for both men and women to attain salvation
    “By performing My Abhisheka, he attains My Sayujya state. Nothing exists other than Myself. I initiate all with the Taraka Mantra. Those who want Mukti should live at Banares. I will take care of them. I am the Lord of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. The most corrupt man or woman will attain Moksha, if he or she dies at Banares. Other sinners will be fried in burning pits of live coals after death. Therefore, everybody should try to live at Banares which is My Pranalinga Itself.”
  • Nature as described as pairs. One needs to exist for the other to exist.
    “The moon is Savitar and stars are Savitri. Where there is the moon, there are the stars (and vice versa) – these two are twin sources. Man is Savitar, woman is Savitri. Where there is a man there is a woman and vice versa. They form one pair of sources.”

  • God is again described as having 2 different facets, both of which are worthy of veneration and praise.
    “Rudra is man. Uma is woman. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Brahma. Uma is Sarasvati. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Vishnu. Uma is Lakshmi. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Sun. Uma is shadow. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is moon. Uma is star. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is day. Uma is night. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Yajna. Uma is Vedi. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Agni, Uma is Svaha. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Veda. Uma is Sastra.”
  • Women are not to be despised
    “The Vamadevya Saman is woven in a couple. He who thus knows this Vamadevya Saman as woven in a couple becomes one of the couple and procreates. He reaches the full length of life, lives gloriously, becomes great with offspring and cattle, and great also with fame. His holy vow is that he should not despise any woman.”
  • Mother to be treated as God
    “There should be no error in the duties towards the gods and manes. Let your mother be a goddess unto you. Let your father be a god unto you. Let your teacher be a god unto you. Let your guest be a god unto you. The works that are not blameworthy are to be resorted to, but not the others.”
