Re: Revelation to Women

Bishma¹ says the following,
One acharya is superior to ten Brahmanas learned in the Vedas. One upadhyaya is again superior to ten acharyas. The father, again, to ten Upadhyayas. The mother, again, is superior to ten fathers, or perhaps, the whole world, in importance. There is no one that deserves such reverence as the mother.
He goes on to say,
He who favours a person by imparting to him true instruction, by communicating the Vedas, and giving knowledge which is immortal, should be regarded as both a father and a mother.
Mahabharata, Santi Parva, Section CVIII
We find ~ 25 to27 female risi's of the Rig Veda; we also see them as yogini's and gurus. For this the earth is blessed as they are shakti.
pranams,
1. Bishma starts out this parva talking to Yudhishthira and says, The worship of mother, father and preceptor (guru, teacher) is most important according to me.
