Women's Spirituality

Women's spirituality supports the pursuit of an authentic personal spiritual life while engaging in collective activities with a common purpose. Our Annual Retreats with Pravrajikas of America are held each year In Sacramento and Olema.

At least ten of our Samiti members have traveled to India for spiritual pilgrimage both individually and in groups. Member pilgrimages and photo albums provide a glimpse into their experiences while visiting India for spiritual study. Our Retreats with Pravrajikas of India are also deeply appreciated. Since everyone cannot travel to India, these retreats provide an opportunity for intense spiritual study here in the United States.

Among our members and friends, those who have practiced Vedanta for 35 or more years are considered Pioneer Women of Vedanta. We have interviewed some of these women about their spiritual practices and have documented their lessons of experience as a source of encouragement for others.
