Woman and upanayan

WOMEN AND UPANAYANA

The Gobhila Grihya Sutra, which is based on the Mantra-Brahmana, while giving the details of the initiation ceremony, describes the form in which a woman could be initiated into Vedic studies and actually uses the word Yajnopavitini. (Gobhila Grhya Sutra 3:7, 13;)

Leading forward (from the house to the sacred fire, the bride) who is wrapped in her robe and wears the sacrificial cord over her left shoulder, he should murmur (the verse), 'Soma gave her to the Gandharva' (MB. I, 1, 7).2:1:19

'In olden days it was prescribed for maidens the wearing of the sacrificial thread, the teaching of the Vedas and the utterance of the Savitri (= Gayatri Mantra). (Yama Samhita)

'Women are of two kinds, Brahma-Vadinis and Straightway married. The Brahma-vadinis can be initiated in the lighting of the (sacred) fire, reading of the Vedas and begging in their own houses; the brides have to be married after a sort of initiation, so says Madhavacharya”. (Harita Samhita)

In the Rāmāyana is mentions the Sītā would perform daily Sandhya Vandana and Kausalya is described as performing daily homa (offerings into the sacred fire).

So this clearly indicates that acharyas approved of women having upananyana

And about women as priests in the temple

There is no restriction in any of the Dharma Shastra which would prevent women from doing the act of Priest but any objection would be purely social (because people consider it) and not religious.

And if they have necessary training for it then they can do the priest work.
There are colleges in Maharashtra which are now training women priests.

Act of sex in detail

As we discussed it in last post about sexuality in general with rules and regulations . The reason why i am posting is because if i don't reveal these secrets one would easily fall into wrong info circulated in name of kamasutra. Here i would discuss the act more explicitly ,so viewer discretion is been adviced . so last time i said there are 3 body types of male according to books and 3 body types of female but ananga ranga and rati rahasya also states that there are 4 body types of female : padmini,shankhini, chitrini and hastini which get further categorised as mrigi,ashvini and karini . These are general judments of physique so nearest body type according to category can be alloted because you usually won't get these exact body shapes . so proper judement should be done with respect to body type. So i would consider types of women and men then i would go towards Act of copulation according to body types and the act . This info contains

Is prophet muhammad really mentioned in the vedas ?

prophet muhammad is mentioned in the vedas is claimed by mr zakir naik alone . His excited dumb followers as well as some dumb sickular Hindus accepted his statements without even cross checking the statements . some Quotations which mr naik exploits is Rig veda 1.13.3 ,1.53.9 and 5.5.2 yajurveda 20.37 there are many more verses like these but here mr naik delibrately chose to exploit is the word ( nara shamsaha which means praised by men) he quotes all the verses in which narashamsa is been mentioned and misleads people by saying its prophet muhammad. vedas contain hymns and verses for devas like indra ,vayu ,agni etc and there is no specific mention of muhammad . look at the following hymns rig veda 1.13.3 narasamsamhiha priyamasminajna upahvaye | madhujihvat haviskrtam || i kindle the fire in this yagna which is beloved and benificient to people ,the sweet tounged and in which obligations are put. rig veda 5.5.2 narasamsah susudatimm yajnamadabhyah |
