Do Women Need To Have Children?

Are we meant to have children, or is that just what we’ve been conditioned to believe?

For some women, the desire for children is undeniable. For others, it never arises at all. But how do we know if that longing is our soul’s true calling—or just biology at work? Are we making choices based on societal pressure, family expectations, or something deeper?

In this video, Sadhviji shares her personal journey of choosing sannyas (renunciation) and not having children, despite experiencing strong maternal urges. How did she sit with those feelings instead of reacting? What helped her separate instinct from true purpose? And how can we make life choices that align with our spiritual path, rather than just following what we’ve been told?

Watch now to explore the difference between biological urges and your soul’s deeper calling.
