Female and Tantra

In Tantra it is told "Sthriyo devaha sthriyaha pranaha sthriya eva bhoosanam."

The above statement in Tantra says, this world is filled with females (sthriyaha), they are devatas or deities, they are pranaha or life, so they are to be given respect, they are to be worshipped.

Tantra is divided into three types, namely, Samayacara or Dakshinacara, Vamachara or left hand path, and Madhyama which is the mixture of both. In vamacara, sadhana with women is given. Here woman is considered as sakti or bhairavi and male who does spiritual practice with her is called Bhairava. In tantra , if one gets initiation from female Guru, then it is considered to be heighest initiation or diksha. Sadhaka is not supposed to annoying or scolding his bhairavi/sakti/wife. It is clearly told, who does this will be disgraced by his deity.
Giving respect to female is also told in Vedas but in tantra it is mandatory. Vaidik initiations are not given to females. According to tantra, diksha should be given to females. They are given utmost respect.
