Sanyogita, also said, Sayogita or Sahayogita ([[Sanskrit]]:संयोगिता,Pali | Sanyogita, also said, Sayogita or Sahayogita ([[Sanskrit]]:संयोगिता,[[Pali Sanskrit]]:Sanyogitā) was a Buddhist [[bhikkhuni]] or nun who was a princess before being a bhikkhuni. She was one of the disciples of [[Gautama Buddha]] and the friend of [[Khema]], wife of [[Bimbisara]]. She was born in [[Kundalpura]], where her father, Malwarsena was ruling. She was the daughter of King Malwarsena of [[Kundalpura]] and mother's name was Queen Sunanda. When she was a little girl, she was interested in listening to [[Gautama Buddha]]'s voice so she went and became his disciple. Sanyogita declined to be a princess because she didn't like it the most. Bhikkhuni Sanyogita then took the help of her friend, [[Khema]] and also [[Uppalavanna]] for understanding. She also understood to respect a person even when they used to not respect her by her teacher, [[Gautama Buddha]]. Her father wanted her to be a princess, but apart from being a princess, she became a bhikkhuni and her religion was [[Buddhism]]. | ||
