Conclusions to Resolve the Female Guru Crisis

By Prabhupadaservant dasa - 2.3 2016

For GBC members and ISKCON devotees: Standing.Executors@pamho.net

Whereas prolonged polarisation regarding the female guru crisis is regurgitated year after year, taking up valuable GBC time which could be delegated to more substantial topics. The actual position of women in Vedic scripture has never been examined in such context.

The Origin of Womenvilokyaikanta-bhutani bhutany adau prajapatih 
striyam cakre sva dehardham yaya pumsam matir hrta

In the beginning of creation, Lord Brahma, the father of the living entities in the universe, saw that all the living entities were unattached. To increase population, he then created woman from the better half of a man's body, for woman's behavior carries away a man's mind. SB 6.18.30

Srimad Bhagavatam has stated that from 50 % of a man's body woman was thereby created. So a woman is factually comprised of only a half portion of a man. So in spite of the pretty face and charming form, the position of pleasure packet, baby incubator and family support system; women in fact are in possession of only half a share of what man possesses because they were originally created from only 50% per cent of men at their inception. Women are derived exclusively and wholly from half of a man. It is impossible that one half can ever be equal to the whole. What is only 50% can never be equal to what is 100%? It's about genetics and explained in the chapter Gotra Marriage Genetics.

Although the atma absolutely exists equally in all jivas: men, women, animals, birds, fish, insects, plants, etc. The potential existing within each group of jivas have varying degrees of potency; but none of them have the propensity that is equal to the potential allotted to a human male. An example is a Ferrari engine may be put into a Volkswagen; yet due to design and bodily considerations the Volkswagen will never be able to perform like a Ferrari. Due to being originally created from only 50% of a man's body it is obvious that a woman can never be equal to men. In all of creation the only place where we see the females are superior to males is in the insect species where females are dominant such as spiders. Any demands of female equality with men is not genuine and artificial as women at their inception were created solely from only a half portion of a man as specified in SB: 6.18.30 and sastra must be accepted as absolute truth.

This is why Lord Caitanya considered His most intimate disciples as three and one half. Svarupa Damodara and Ramananda Raya were two, Sikhi Mahiti was three and his sister, Madhavi-devi was considered as one half as confirmed in Cc Antya-lila, 2.106. Although she was respected as being very advanced in devotional service, verse 104 refers to her astapasvini which means she was very strict in executing devotional service and parama vaisnavi meaning she was a topmost female devotee. Yet still Lord Caitanya considered her as only half a devotee So if the Supreme Lord thought in this way who would be so offensive as to oppose His absolute understanding and usher in the opportunity for Kali to trick ISKCON into becoming apa-sampradaya by artificially concocting the spurious supposition that women and men are equal in ISKCON. Ignorantly arguing and debating over this ad-nauseum. In Cc Madhya-lila, 25.45 we find:

caitanya gosani yei kaba sei mata sava 
ara yata mata sei sabaj charakhara

Whatever understanding Lord Caitanya gives is perfect. Any other interpretation is a distortion.

How is it possible that women who possesses only a half portion of men can even be considered competent to be an initiating guru of anyone.

In Srimad Bhagavatam 1.4.25 is states:

stri-sudra-dvija-bandhunam trayi na sruti-gocara

Women, sudras and the initiated who have fallen from twice born status have no authority to study Vedas.

Only by the special mercy of Sri Caitanya do women somewhat have facility to hear Vedanta because we see that Madhavi-devi was able to sit behind a pillar to hear and relish; but she was not permitted to comment. Sri Caitanya never looked upon or spoke to any woman once He said goodbye to His mother in Santipura after accepting sannyasa. Once in Jagannath Puri, He heard the sound of an extremely beautiful voice singing an exquisite song praising Lord Krishna. Transcendentally enchanted He raced towards it. His servant running after Him said, my Lord it is a woman singing. Lord Caitanya stopped immediately in his tracks and praised his servant as if he saved His life. After this close call Mahaprabhu never gave an opportunity to let the sound of a woman's voice ever again enter His ears. So mesmerizing is a woman's deluding potency that by any medium at her disposal she can utilise it to snare a man. By her look, by her smile, by her movements, by her voice, by her touch, by her scent, even just by being in a woman's presence. In all these ways over 50 sannyasis in ISKCON have fallen down. This is fact and has happened over the last 30 years when women were situated in the background and never seen in the forefront as they are now, sashaying about, preening and parading themselves. So if the next generation of matajis are programmed and conditioned to mingle equally with prabhus then inevitably an irreversible chain reaction will perversely manifest.

Perversely influenced by the travesty of women's liberation in western culture with its immense sponsoring of evil and demoniac activities such as murdering cows, pornography, abortion and same sex marriages; ISKCON has succumbed and we are now being forced to accept matajis as equal which is not supported anywhere by sastra. What happened to the GBC compass that now they issue mandates that are not substantiated by sastra? No sastra authorises women the right to even be independent, so to grant them equality is definitely adharmic and to make them gurus is absolutely apa-sampradaya. As kali yuga increases in degradation ISKCON must bunker down and fortify itself to not compromise.

A specific group of elderly ISKCON matajis desperately desiring to be gurus and destable ISKCON are on the offensive demanding equal status of women even though they know perfectly well it is plastic and artificial. Such is the nature of matajis. Like devious, mischievous children the matajis can be observed behind the scenes hatching their schemes, plotting their strategies and pushing their agendas. It's only a game to them, all ego without substance. Matajis can be extremely deceptive and devious; but like a child they do not have any idea how it will improve ISKCON? How it will benefit ISKCON? How will it position ISKCON in the future as the leading spiritual society on Earth? Not a clue.

Matajis along with members of the GBC are plotting, scheming, deceiving and manipulating behind the scenes to artificially inflate their status and position by utilising every advantage they can manage to siphon, squeeze, exploit and extract from ISKCON by perpetuating the illusion of equality of the sexes, often times delegating their controlled husbands as frontmen to promote their agenda and these activities accurately reflect the inherent and illusory nature of women.

Contrarily the inestimable benefits matajis receive from being a chaste and modest wife serving her husband without duplicity they try their best to keep hidden. We list the great benefit matajis receive so everyone can become aware.

In Padma Purana, Pada 112, verses 18, 19 we see:

kurvatah punya-karmani sevam yah kurute narah 
patni-bhrtaka-sisyebhyo yad anyah ka' pi manava 
tasya sevanunurupena dravyam kincin na diyate 
so'pi sevanu-upena tat punya-phala-bhag bhavet
Translation

One who renders service to a person performing pious activities is entitled to receive a portion of that persons punya or pious credit whether it be the wife, a disciple, a servant, or anyone else in accordance to the gradation of their service, provided they are not receiving any renumeration for that service.

So this verse clarifies why a wife is entitled to half of the husbands punya and receives it automatically because the wife is factually half of the husband's body.

Hari Bhakti Vilasa, 1st Vilasa, verse 77 reveals the allocation of sins from the wife

rajni camatyaja dosah patni-papam sva-bhartari 
tatha sisyarjitam papam guruh niscitam

As the sins from his ministers go to the king, as the sins made by the wife are allocated to the husband; the guru must accept the sins made by his disciples.

This verse clarifies that all sins committed by the wife are transferred directly to the husband, who of course is obligated to accept their reactions. This is why protection of the wife is stressed so strongly in Vedic scriptures; for by carefully protecting one's wife the husband insures his own protection.

In Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva, anuchedda 65 during Bhishma's famous bed of arrows discourse to King Yudhisthira 5,000 years ago is cited a reference from Dharma Sastra given by Sukratu, the grandson of King Janaka that is such a well known declaration in the Vedic scriptures that Bhishma stated it as proof as follows: "It is unrighteous to grant women freedom at any stage of life. If this was not the absolute truth how could it ever be written in Vedic sastra? Those who condemn such a declaration and choose to act contrary to Vedic sastra and instigate others to act contrarily to Vedic sastra areasuras. Such practice of giving independence to women has never been heard of even in ancient times as being sanctioned in any Vedic scripture nor is it sanctioned by the righteous in any situation." Manu Samhita 9.3 declares: A female must always be protected by her father in childhood, her husband in marriage and her sons in old age. In childhood the father carefully protects the daughter. In youth the husband lovingly protects the wife. In old age the sons dutifully protect the mother. This is a Vedic axiom which all devotees of Lord Krsna are bound to follow as it is clearly declared by Vedic scriptures. Bhishma goes on to conclude: "At no point in a females life is it ordained that she is not to be protected; neither is their a provision in any sastrawhere a women can be independent at any time in any stage or any situation in life. The unrighteous dereliction giving independence to women is the practice of the demons."

Everything that a woman could ever possibly hope for easily comes to her by serving and pleasing her husband without duplicity. Any conception of independence for women is artificial and dysfunctional as well as detrimental and debilitating in any society and is not beneficial in any way.

A woman's chastity is her most powerful asset. Once lost, like virginity, chastity can never be regained again in life. So the emphasis for women universally should be to vigilantly protect their chastity at all times. Marriage is an inviolable Vedic ordinance with absolutely no scope for divorce. A Vaisnava must only marry a virgin from an appropriate gotra. As a wife can only be a virgin once it is crystal clear that she only can be married once. There is no word for divorce in Sanskrit and a woman who has had sexual relations with anyone besides her husband is considered automatically unchaste in the Vedic culture and so desecrated such matajis have lost their spiritual potency. It is such matajis as these who had sexual relationships before marriage and who separated from their husbands in divorce and who do not take shelter of their sons. These are the elderly matajis who behind the scenes are plotting and scheming and pathetically pushing and pushing and pushing to become female gurus.

 

Why One Takes Birth As A Woman

The next key point to consider is from Lord Krsna, Himself in Bg 8.6 below:

yam yam vapi smaran bhavam tyajaty ante kalevaram 
tam tam evaiti kaunteya sada tad-bhava-bhavitah

Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state one will attain without fail.

The above verse establishes the criteria that applies for all humans, whereas the reason why one takes birth in a female form is delineated and confirmed in SB 3.31.41 beginning: yam manyate patim mohan man-mayam rsabhayatim stating: A living entity who, as a result of attachment to a woman in his previous life, has been endowed with the form of a woman in the next life.

So a human takes birth in a female body due solely to their own volition, either by lingering impressions for female sense gratification at the moment of death or by the residue of sentimental attachment to wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, grand-daughter, concubine, nurse, maid or any other female at the moment of death. These are the only two options by which a jiva receives a female body. Other than these two options, no other alternatives exist.

This immutable process also clearly confirms that a human being may also be forced to accept even an animal birth in their next life if that is what one thought of at the moment of death as evidenced in SB 5.8.27 beginning tadanim api parsva-vartinam atmajam which states:Maharaja Bharata thought of a deer at the moment of death and his soul was compelled to take birth in the body of a deer in his next life. So it should be clearly understood that the words of Lord Krsna or any of His incarnations are applicable at all times in every situation eternally. The words of the Supreme Lord are not subject to time, place or circumstances as they are always the absolute truth.

For a mataji who has voluntarily accepted Krsna consciousness as her life and soul to harbor feelings of unfairness and resentment to a choice that she by the karma of her own volition chose in her previous life is not only nescience but self-depreciating and self-degrading. One who factually understands Lord Krishna and his incarnation's lucid, direct instructions and Srila Prabhupada's clear, unequivocal purports will never think as such. Furthermore for matajis to think that they need to strive and push for equal status with men which is completely artificial; mimicing the spiritually impotent, materially degraded and emotionally dysfunctional, western conception of life in order to achieve a sense of self-worth in itself reveals the factual nature and actual mindset of such matajis and will certainly not yield them a better birth in their next life.

A Vaisnavi does not think like this. A Vaisnavi is graceful, gracious and grateful, understanding that by the mercy of Lord Krishna she has attained a Vaisnava husband to worship, love and serve, who accepts all her sins and from whom she receives 50% of hispunya, knowing that she will also automatically receive whatever destination her husband has qualified for in her next life. What could possibly be more advantageous and propitious than this for any mataji?

A Vaisnavi never desires to be independent. A Vaisnavi understands that independence would clearly lead to her ruination. A Vaisnavi never desires to supersede her husband. A Vaisnavi only desires the best welfare and interests of her husband, serving him devotedly without duplicity. For it is only by serving and pleasing her husband without duplicity that a mataji makes any perceptible advancement in spiritual life.

Not by following ekadasi, neither by worshipping the deities nor even by serving the Guru does a mataji receive as much punya as she does by faithfully serving and pleasing her husband without duplicity. This is the only dharma prescribed for a Vaisnavi revealed in sastraand Queen Gandhari the wife of blind King Dhritirastha is the prime example of this fact.

A husband accepts a wife due to desire for sense gratification and to expand his dynasty; but by accepting a wife and receiving service from her, a husband derives absolutely no spiritual benefit or merit whatsoever. Whereas by submissively serving her husband faithfully without duplicity a women receives immeasurable spiritual benefit of inestimable merit.

 

The Nature of Women

The next point to consider is the view of Lord Krsna's incarnation Kapila-deva

balam me pasya mayayah stri-mayya jayino disam 
ya karoti padakrantan bhruvi-jrmbhena kevalam

Just try to understand the mighty strength of My maya in the form of woman, who by the mere movement of her eyebrows, can keep even the greatest conquerors of the world under her grip. SB 3.31.38

aksiptamendriyah strinam asatinam ca mayaya 
raho racitayalapaih sisunam kala-bhasinam

Surrendering his heart and senses to a woman, who falsely charms him by illusion, He enjoys union with her in a solitary place. He is also enchanted by the sweet words of his children. SB.3.30.8

yopayati sanair maya yosid deva-vinirmita 
tam iksetatmano mrtyum trnaih kupam ivavrtam

Women created by the Lord, are the representation of maya and one who associates with such maya by accepting their service must understand that this is the way of death just like a blind well covered by grass. SB 3.31.40

Kasyapsa Muni had a wife named Diti, who was extremely lusty, so much so that she demanded her husband to satisfy her carnal desires during the most inauspicious time of twilight which is when ghosts and demons fly about looking for opportunities to enter a womb. Kasyapsa Muni warned her to wait until he finished his gayatri and the 48 minutes after sunset of twilight time for the demons had ended otherwise their union would be detrimental and inauspicious. But her lust could not wait 48 minutes and uncontrolled she could not be denied and she made her husband satisfy her lust then and there. From this union powerful demons appeared from her womb who were killed by Indra. Later understanding her husband's potency Diti served him extremely expertly but with an agenda in mind. She gratified him fully in all respects and endeared herself deeply to him. But she did so with an ulterior motive. When Kasyapsa Muni offered her a boon she said she wanted a son that would kill Indra. From this Kasyapsa Muni could understand that he was victimized again and had been duped by his wife. Yet deeply reflecting on the matter he did not blame his wife at all because he knew that this is the nature of women; but he severely chastised himself for being a victim twice. We see in SB 6.13.5 that Indra to mitigate the heavy sin of killing the brahmana Visvarupa, gave 1/4th of his sin each to the earth, water, trees and women and this was accepted by them. Women voluntarily chose to accept the 1/4th reaction of Indra's sin because they received the benediction that they can enjoy extremely enhanced sexual pleasure during intercourse at any time in any situation.

Every man who has been successfully married for some period of time understands this aspect of a woman's nature very well and knows that there is no activity day or night that women prefer more than sexual union. Standing, sitting or lying down, sexual union is a woman's activity of preference. One who has never been married is totally in the dark and ignorant in this regard and is incapable of imagining it, let alone speculate about it. Sastra declares that sexual union is the only activity where a women does not have to be submissive to the husband and that she can be as aggressive and passionate as she feels and unabashedly does not have to suppress any of her carnal desires. This then becomes the duty and responsibility that the husband must fulfill. If a husband is competent and his wife is duly satisfied to the point of achieving orgasm on a regular basis, then the husband is treated like a king and worshipped and adored. But woe be it to the husband, if a wife is not satisfied sexually. Then disappointment, dissatisfaction and frustration are subtly directed towards the husband. If not timely remedied then disdain, disregard and disrespect enters into the picture, which the husband will have to accept due to insufficiently being able to satisfy the primal urges of his wife which are extremely powerful. At that point the woman takes control of the relationship and becomes the dominating figure while the husband due to his inadequacy is forced to be subservient and accept the dominated position. This then becomes a permanent condition extending for the duration of the marriage. Once a wife takes over and becomes the dominant figure in the relationship, she will never be submissive and dominated by her husband again, that is a woman's nature.

 

The Mandate for Men Regarding Women

Despite the strict ordinances and stringent injunctions concerning women, Bhishma confirms in Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva, anuchedda 66 that chaste women deserve to always be honored and protected. Men should verily always regard them with respect. The position of righteousness in men is dependent upon their always honoring chaste women. All pleasures and enjoyments completely depend upon the wife. Chaste wives should always be protected and adored. Men should adjust their temperaments to amicably accommodate them. The abode of pleasure, the procreation of offspring, the nurturing of infants, the accomplishment of all acts necessary for facilitation of the family unit have women for their foundation. The home is only where the wife is residing. By protecting and honoring women surely men obtain the fruition of all their goals.

Women have no yagnas ordained for them. Women have no sraddhas to perform. Women are not obliged to observe any fasts. To serve their husbands with reverence and submission is a woman's only duty. Through the discharge of this duty alone a woman conquers heaven itself. Where wives are treated with honor and affection the deities themselves are filled with delight and bless that family she has married into. Where women are not treated with honor and affection all acts become fruitless and the family becomes desolate and destitute. By all means and every situation men should always protect and honor their chaste and modest wives with loving affection.

In the Mahabharata, Stree Parva at the end of section XXV, Queen Gandhari distraught to the extreme over the loss of all her 100 sons at the battle of Kuruksetra cursed Lord Krsna as she proclaimed: By the merit of my chastity and the punya I have acquired by the tapasya of faithfully serving my husband throughout my life which is so very difficult to accomplish, I curse you Krishna that from the 36th year from today to cause the slaughter and destruction of all your relatives, friends and sons. The chastity of Queen Gandhari was so potent from serving her blind husband, King Dhritarastra that by the efficacy of its punya she was able to pronounce a curse on the Supreme Lord Krsna, Himself and cause the destruction of His entire dynasty exactly as she had predicted.

So one should never minimize or underestimate the blazing potency from the tapasya a chaste wife performs by devotion to her husband. Tapasya is penance whose punya can be utilised in the same life. Devotion to one's husband is an eternal tapasya by which a wife may utilise her punya as she desires in the same lifetime. What is not used becomes sukriti and is transferred to her next life. Without serving her husband a woman has no opportunity to acquire punya independently. Whatever sukriti her husband accrues the wife automatically receives 50%. As far as sins go 100% of the sins that the wife commits all go to the husband as if he committed them and whatever destination the husband achieves due to his spiritual merit a chaste wife automatically accompanies him to that same destination. So a chaste wife receives extraordinary benefits from devotedly serving her husband and pleasing him without duplicity.

ya patim hari-bhavena bhajet srir iva tat-para 
hary atmana harer loke patya srir iva modate

A wife who mentally accepts her husband as her deliverer exactly as the Supreme Lord Himself and faithfully renders service to him like Laksmi renders service to the Supreme Lord in Vaikuntha will assuredly accompany her husband to the eternal spiritual worlds in bliss and happiness.SB 7.11.29

Manu Samhita 2.67 explains: All samskaras for women are performed without recitation of Vedas. When a woman marries the nuptial ceremony itself is the Vedic sacrament that purifies her and is equal to initiation. The husband becomes her guru. The home is herasrama, the household duties her religious rites. Manu Samhita 9.29 reveals: A wife from any order who controlling her thoughts, speech and actions does not violate her duty to her husband will assuredly attain the same destination as he by her faithful devotion to him.

It can be easily discerned that many matajis today were males in their previous life and thesamskaras they are experiencing in their subconscious from their previous past life impressions as a male is what is flailing them to act contrary to their present natural dharma. But this will certainly be to their detriment as karma is precise and exact and must be accepted and absolved by all humans. Unfortunately they failed to comprehend that a mataji's dharma is to be chaste.

 

No Sastra Supports Equality of Men and Women

We have searched very meticulously and comprehensively throughout the Vedic scriptures and we could not find even one sastric example even in the Puranas where women are compared to be equal to men. It does not exist anywhere in Vedic scriptures. So the whole concept of equality of the sexes is a travesty derived from western mleechas. The only example that we found of comparing men and women was from Mahabharata where once a king was cursed to become a woman for a period of time and even had many children. Later when Indra offered the chance to go back to being a man again she promptly refused stating that in comparing pleasure between male and female she preferred to remain a woman because enjoyment during sexual union was immensely superior in a woman body compared to a man's body.

In Manu Samhita there are given classifications of dozens of types of marriages for couples of different castes or mixed castes including those which are condemned; but even in these extreme cases the bride must still always be a virgin. A society which does not adequately protect the females in all respects will soon become degraded and depraved as seen in the west. The purity of women is essential for purity of procreation and must always be conscientiously protected and preserved. Insuring the virginity of the wife insures the purity of the progeny. Purity and protection of women is also referred to in BG 1:40.

A mataji who desires to be crowned with success in her life must adopt the mood and mentality of Arundhati the wife of Vasistha. She said: I consider the environment of mountains, earth, water and heaven as elements in which I live only after considering my husband as the environment in which I live. My husband is first and foremost in my life and I conform myself with the mind and desire of my husband.

Actually the situation is far more beguiling then we can imagine for every activity that a man engages in with a woman and every activity a women participates with a man is dovetailed to maya with the sole exception of the birth of a son. Woman means maya and any attraction to them means attraction to maya. We should not rationalise this reality but recognise women for what they are: maya's agents and most provacative and alluring representatives which insures procreation. This does not mean that they should not be married and procreated with because how will new devotees enter the planet; but their position and purpose should be clearly understood.

The GBC must take responsibility and regain its Vedic compass as each year on automatic pilot, more and more autonomy is delegated to women. Conceptions of equality of the sexes is adharmic. The GBC must make a concerted effort to conscientiously interpret sastra and Srila Prabhupada's commentaries regarding the true position of matajis and not be foolishly influenced by degraded western, mleecha conceptions of hypocritical moral leniency and political correctness. What is this politically correct mentality that is prevalent in ISKCON that we must compromise our integrity to accommodate the depraved morals and adopt the degenerative values of the cow killing and cow eating, abortion promoting karmis? Western society lost what little moral and ethical values it had decades ago and they certainly won't be regaining them back as kali yuga progresses.

Every activity a man engages in with a female is maya. For women are the personification of maya and maya always abides with them. On every level of existence maya is operating on behalf of women as maya's representation to insure Earth stays populated and new souls will enter human bodies. The whole world is completely inundated and controlled by maya.

Brahmacaris should not be deceived. They should know that they must only marry a virgin and never marry a woman who is a widow, who is barren or who had children previously. No great souls are entering wombs in a female who has had union with more than one man. If such brahmacaris do get married then they must understand that Vedic marriage is permanent for life with no scope for divorce. They must understand the fact that any sin that the wife may make the husband must accept totally and that half of all his hard earned punya will automatically go to his wife. The wife should also clearly understand that the only punya she can acquire in her life is from serving her husband without duplicity. Queen Gandhari is the shining example. This is what is absolute and essential for a mataji. This is Vaisnavi dharma.

 

The Qualification of Women

Sastra affirms that a mantra received from a woman cannot award perfection.

Kularnava-tantra in the Urdhvam-naya section: chapter 15, verse 97 states:

ekaksare tatha kute traipure mantra-nayike |
stri-datte svapnalabdhe ca siddhadin naiva sodhayet || 97 ||

O worshipable deity of all mantras [Durga], a mantra composed of a single syllable, a concocted mantra, a mantra dedicated to Lord Tripura [Siva] or composed of three syllables, or a mantra given by a woman and a mantra obtained in a dream cannot grant perfection even if purified according to considerations of puruscarya vidhi.

This preceding verse was translated by our godbrother, Sripada Gopiparadhana dasa, who took umbrage at some translations, along with his comments next:

"The line in question is the final pada (quarter) siddhadin naiva sodhayet. Fortunately this line is the same in both Hari Bhakti Vilas and Kularnava Tantra. Looking closely at the words we see the following: siddha-perfection, adi-etc, na-not, eva- certainly, sodhayet- purified by."

"When we put this pada together it can be understood to read as follows:"

1. "..even by (purushcarya) purification, perfection will not be possible.."

2. "..purification (purushcarya) processes will not give perfection.."

"In the context of the chapter from Kularnava Tantra we can paraphrase this pada to read as:"

1. "The application of the various processes of puruscarya or purification by (acamana, nyasa, sadhana, puja, japa, etc) will not award perfection for a mantra that is concocted, dedicated to Siva, a mantra having one or three syllables, a mantra given by a woman, and a mantra received in a dream."

"Thus the above sources are not qualified to initiate or bestow diksa mantras and are therefore not a viable source of perfection for a disciple."

Continuing his analysis further Sripada Gopiparadhana dasa observed:

"It seems that the purva-paksa translated the word sodhayet to mean test to fit their intention. However they missed translating the key previous words siddhadin naiva which clearly states perfection will not be. Since the chapter in Kularnava Tantra is solely aboutpurascarya vidhi or purificationary process of mantras one should understand the verse in that context. Hence the verse is about mantras that will not give perfection from the specifically mentioned sources (a woman, a dream, etc)."

As a mantra bestowed by a woman is not bona fide as also a mantra received in a dream is not bona fide. Neither are they authorised compared to a mantra bestowed by an authorised guru in a bona fide parampara to a surrendered and qualified disciple. A dream arises from an emotional experience and can not take into account the essential fundamentals qualifying one for diksa.

A female is also prohibited from performing the fire yagna that would be required as well. A woman can only assist her husband, without a husband she cannot do anything. The only mantra she can utter is svaha while throwing grains into the fire. So women prohibited from performing yagna and not being qualified to give diksa can never be considered as candidates for gurus and since a mantra given by a woman cannot award perfection it has absolutely no value and serves no purpose as no female is qualified or authorised by sastra to give diksamantra initiation to anyone at any time.

Gargi was suppose to be expert in the Vedas; but how can that be when women traditionally were never taught the Vedas. She is definitely not the daughter of Gargacarya the author of Garga Samhita, who performed the birth ceremony for Krishna and Balaram. Yet Gargi supposedly wrote a Gargi Samhita and has even been inserted into the Skanda Purana in a clearly concocted discourse with Yagnacarya about the absolute, but how then was she able to debate with Sankaracarya millenniums later in 700 A.D. Oops! Monkey business is going on.

 

The Feminist Mentality Contaminating ISKCON

The feminist mentality contaminating ISKCON that is now being overtly propagated in ISKCON is a delayed throwback to the feminist movement orchestrated and engineered in the 1960's by the establishment in America. It was spearheaded by the feminist Gloria Steinem, previously a Playboy bunny, chosen by the establishment to be the leading voice of women's liberation. It was well funded, meticulously organised and precisely implemented and is a classic example of cross cultural, behavioral modification and mass social engineering.

A prominent example of this, is that it was during this period of time that women first started wearing pants. One should not think that it happened naturally or accidently. All of a sudden around the world wearing pants became a fashion for women and although our mothers steadfastly resisted it, pants soon became an acceptable alternative to the skirt and dress and the psychological assault on male virility began in earnest. This by the way was noticed by the Vatican and they took it so seriously that they conducted a worldwide survey to determine the negative impact women in pants would have on society. Those less intelligent will be unable to see the connection between women in pants and the feminist movement, neither will they be able to discern how the feminist agenda is operating both openly and covertly within ISKCON.

The Feminist Movement in America was specifically designed and crafted to destroy the sanctity of the family unit. Its purpose for promoting the independence of women was fourfold: 1) to destabilise society, 2) to debilitate the family structure, 3) to neutralise the authority of the father and 4) to make the role of wife and mother appear unattractive and dysfunctional. Although the feminist movement vigorously hailed empowerment of women, contrarily concerning the overt exploitation of women sexuality extensively used in advertisements to sell alcohol, beer, cigarettes and everything else from cement to condoms, there was not a peep or complaint. The feminist movement asserted that independence and empowerment of women was all that mattered and for the emancipation of women, career was first and primary and family life if at all necessary was secondary.

Women fell for this succor ploy; hook, line and sinker. Spending their best years to garner degrees and careers, the prime of their life passed them by and in their 30's they had a very hard time finding Mr. Right. The peak child bearing years was also gone with the wind and in frustration they became desperate to have husband, home and family at any cost before it was too late. Those who luckily did somehow or other manage to secure a husband, home and children; were forced to raise them while in their 40's. So in their fifties they were raising children in their teens. A generation gap of 40 years is much too big a chasm between parents and children to operate optimally and a whole sub-generation of children were raised as such and these family units indeed became dysfunctional. Needless to say the feminist movement succeeded overwhelmingly in achieving its goals and even more so, because they follow the precept that it does not matter what is real, it only matters what people are manipulated to believe and this is how the feminist movement achieved success.

Today in 2016 we see in America that the feminist movement has become so virulent in society and the travesty of their agenda has been pushed so far to the extreme; that women now have the right to marry each other legally as husband and wife in a court of law. This shows that the 60's feminist movement also had a long range agenda of eroding the ethics of religion along with the morals of society to desecrate the sanctity of marriage which is a core value of humanity.

The feminist mentality first subtly but now overtly has stealthily infiltrated ISKCON over the last two decades. So much so that even senior mataji devotees of Srila Prabhupada have psychologically conditioned themselves that feminine equality is their natural right along with many acquiescing males in the GBC as well it must be noted, who are subservient to the mataji agenda of equal empowerment in ISKCON completely ignoring sastra.

This is proven by the near equal vote count for and against women gurus in ISKCON at the Mayapur GBC meetings year after year. As there are only a few GBC matajis this means that many men cast their vote to approve women gurus in ISKCON. They are attempting by deception, stealth and duplicity to superimpose the travesty of the feminist mentality onto the sacred, hallowed grounds of Srila Prabhupada's spiritual society. Srila Prabhupada always emphasized that no external force could ever destroy ISKCON from without, ISKCON could only be destroyed from within.

The feminist movement contaminating ISKCON is a Pandora's box that needs to be hermetically sealed, put in a Faraday cage and permanently banished from the GBC resolutions. An irrevocable resolution should be crafted so that the issue of women gurus will never arise again and the issue will remain permanently closed forever. Just think about the consequences of what the travesty of a mataji disciplic succession in ISKCON would do. Sastra states a woman possesses only 50% of what a man possesses. Sastra tates that a mantra given by a woman cannot award perfection. Sastra states a woman is not authorised to perform yagna. The only punya a woman can acquire is 50% of her husbands punya and her husband is obliged to accept all her sins along with their accompanying reactions. So are these the qualifications for women gurus?

A mataji is unable to deliver herself and there is no example in any sastra where a mataji ever delivered herself. So how then is it possible that a mataji can ever deliver others. There are innumerable examples where a mataji was liberated by her husband and the story of Dhruva shows that a mataji can also be liberated by her son as well. But there is no example in any sastra of any mataji ever liberating herself from material existence. So how can she ever liberate others.

It is also a travesty how many ludicrous and absurd petitions have been submitted by matajisat the GBC meetings over the years such as: We want to be called Prabhu too! We want to be able to give full dandavats too! We want to wear a brahmin thread too. We want to have a sikha too! We want to do Tulsi puja along with men! We want to offer flowers to Srila Prabhupada the same time as the men! We want to do arati to Srila Prabhupada at guru puja! We want to go on all altars! We want to sit on the vyasasan and give class! We want to lead kirtan! We want to perform yagna! We want to give initiation! We want to be gurus! The virulent disease of: we want, we want, we want like a virus has consumed the common sense and dignity of even Srila Prabhupada senior most matajis. Yet a real Vaisnavi does not ever think or act like this even in her dreams.

 

The Agenda of the Feminist Mentality in ISKCON

As the feminist movement was used to disrupt, divide and destabilise the family unit in America, the feminist mentality is now being openly utilised to disrupt, divide and destabilise ISKCON. The key question is why this agenda is being pushed so vigorously and who will bloody well benefit from the destabilastion of ISKCON. The obvious answer is the demons. The subsequent generation of matajis after them could not care less about gender bender feminist mentality and are living and raising their children in Krishna consciousness with their husbands to the best of their ability. The present generation of younger matajis only care about getting a Krishna consciousness husband as soon as possible who will love them, give them babies and protect them. Since the infiltration of the femininist mentality into ISKCON is not for future matajis, then its purpose is clearly to destabilise ISKCON to fulfill some nefarious agenda for the demons.

The most obviously destructive example of destabilisation worthy of immediate focus and attention is that giving matajis artificial guruship will immediately make ISKCON apa-sampradaya. This will dramatically decrease ISKCON's donor base among Indians by drastically diminishing donations due to cataclysmic erosions in ISKCON's credibility for those of Indian descent both in and outside of India. The fund raisers at TOVP realized it might happen and adjusted their world campaign accordingly canvassing the Indian community. One should clearly comprehend how deeply entrenched varnasrama is established in the mindset among the Indian community worldwide and the disastrous consequences authorising female gurus in ISKCON will inflict.

The majority of ISKCON"s life members worldwide are middle to upper class Indian males. Altogether they make huge donations to ISKCON, many on a regular basis. Life membership almost always means the husband is the life member and his wife and children are included. These men are all basically intelligent and fairly cultured and they all have mostly arranged marriages to Indian wives that they have been married to for a long time. They are not soft and pliable brahmacaries who have no interest in matajis, nor are they elderly westerngrihasta men who controlled by their wives are unable to oppose them, neither are they aloof and passive sannyasis who have never been married and who do not have a clue about the true nature of women. Only the many fallen sannyasis who were dragged down from their position by a mataji can understand something of a woman's true nature and character.

These Indian male life members are fully supporting and protecting their wives and families, following varnasrama, and most of their wives never have to work. They factually know from decades of experiencing their wives, every aspect of a woman's nature and not a single Indian life member will accept that giving women guruship is appropriate and bona fide. Because by daily interaction with their wives they have experienced firsthand the true nature of a women 24/7 and they know that by no stretch of the imagination are matajis qualified to give diksa. So if ISKCON becomes apa-sampradaya then this the big donations from Indians worldwide will dry up like a desert and decrease to mere token donations because this offends their sensibilities and opposes their core values.

So in the big picture it is apparent that the women guru initiative is actually the coup d'etatstealthily being methodically implemented to destabilise ISKCON's financial foundation by eroding ISKCON's credibility and alienating ISKCON from its steady, stable and dependable Indian life member base; for in actuality it is the local Indian communities that are financially keeping almost all ISKCON temples afloat worldwide. They are paying the bills. If ISKCON loses its credibility with them, then that financial support will quickly evaporate and most of our temples will be forced to shut down operations.

We should not think that our position is impregnable and unimpeachable and jeopardise Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON in any way. It took us 50 years to get to this position of worldwide spiritual dominance. We could be destabilised and derailed from within by such a foolish and detrimental indiscretion as allowing female gurus if we are not extremely vigilant and careful, always fully adhering to Vedic sastra.

 

The Purva-paksas Predictably Proselytize

The purva-paksas will predictably proselytize, presenting paltry arguments supporting women gurus in order to promulgate their feminist agenda by attempting to obfuscate the truth; but their suppositions will not have any substance, nor carry any weight, neither will they be bona fide. Having no other recourse they will be forced to submit superficial suppositions from non-devotee karmis as their best examples. This may fool the neophytes and beguile the fools; but no serious and knowledgeable Vaisnava initiated by a bona fide guru will accept conclusions quoted from non-devotee karmis as evidence.

The purva-paksas want to assert that sannyasa is accessible for women and that this qualifies women to be gurus. They cite as a reference a 1956 edition by an English Christian karmi named Pearce Gervis who explains a concocted process of initiation he labels sannyasa and provides pictures of a female mendicant he says received it to support his claim. By his account a woman must first perform her own sraddha ceremony symbolising her old life is dead.

The purva-paksas want to affirm that there is a sannyasa mantra that women are given proving they are qualified to be guru's, citing a reference from a 1975 edition by an Austrian Christian karmi named Patrick Olivelle, who claims the sannyasa mantra for women issannyasam maya, meaning 'I renounce illusion'.

The purva-paksas want to promote that women are authorised to be gurus due to addressing themselves by one of the ten sannyasa names given by the mayavadi Sankaracarya to his disciples such as Aranya or Giri citing as reference a 1980 edition by an American Christian karmi named Charles White.

The purva-paksas want to postulate that women have their own separate sampradaya and that qualifies them to be gurus and they cite a 1981 edition from a karmi Christian researcher named Catherine Ojha who claims that the Nimbarka sampradaya has a female branch called Nimbarki.

The purva-paksas try to interpolate that the Vasistha-smrti authorises women to give gayatri mantra; but they keep hidden that such is a mayavadi text and is of absolutely no concern to Vaisnavas. They submit as reference a 1905 edition from a German Christian karmi priest named Rev. Alois Fuhrer from the time when zealous Christian missionaries were given free rein to destroy and desecrate all aspects of Hindu religion and culture in India following the system that the church used previously in colonisation of South America and Africa.

The purva-paksas want to submit that in the Valmiki Ramayana that Kausalya, the wife of King Dasarath performed a yagna and use as reference a 1979 edition from a Jewish karmi named Sheldon Pollock. This submission is completely bogus as only male brahmins or male Vaisnavas can perform yagna. Thus even King Dasarath being a ksatriya can never perform ayagna. Ksatriyas are only qualified to sponsor yagnas by engaging brahmanas to perform theyagna for them. But a karmi being outside the Vedic culture would be incapable of understanding the intricacies of varnasrama and would speculate erroneously. Yet surely thepurva-paksas would have been aware that no ksatriya male can ever perform a yagna and a mataji never; but the purva-paksas postulated it anyway.

The purva-paksas want to promulgate that in the Brhad-devata, women wrote many hymns in the Vedas and use as a reference an interpretation from a Scottish karmi scholar named Arthur Macdonnel. How many is many seems to be dozens out of thousands. Anyway Vedic history has already witnessed that it is possible for women to write beautiful poetry from the elevated Vaisnavi, Andal Alvar who wrote many beautiful hymns in eloquent glorification of the Lord. Yet this in itself does not qualify any male or female to be a diksa guru.

The purva-paksas will affirm interpolated concoctions from the Yama-smurti stating that women were given the sacred thread and gayatri; while ignoring crystal clear directives from Manu Samhita which states that women must receive all samskaras without mantras. As well as the Nrsimha Tapani which declares it is forbidden to give sacred thread initiation to women.

The purva-paksas will cite a reference from the Rudra-yamala-tantra that states a women is authorised to perform yagna if she is married. In desperation to validate their position they construe this to mean that she can perform it by herself; but this is not the case. Even a brahmani is never authorised to perform a yagna herself. The reason the injunction expressly states she must be married is to emphasise that she is permitted only to assist her husband in its performance by throwing grains into the fire and uttering svaha.

The purva-paksas want to construe a verse from Atharva Veda 1.5.18 to illustrate thatbramacarya means more than celibacy and can include females. But to remain chaste all females must remain virgins until married and thus of course they are celibate. So this has nothing at all to do with brahmacari.

The purva-paksas undoubtedly will also submit historical evidence in attempts to bolster up their position of supporting women gurus. They will give the examples of Gangamata Goswamini, Hemalata and Suniti the mother of Dhruva; but all these isolated cases are based on specific circumstances. For example Lord Jagannath, Himself ordered Gangamata Goswamini to initiate the king and his ministers to mitigate their offense of imprisoning her and she followed His order. Hemalata corrected a wayward disciple of her father Srinivasa, who left her association and founded a sahajiya sect that is still existing today. While Suniti can only be considered as Dhruvas vartma-pradaksina guru and never an initiating guru. The only example worthy of differentiating is Sri Nityananda Prabhu's sakti, Jahnava Ma Thakurani; but she is nitya-siddha and not jiva tattva like the above 3 examples. Yet Jahnava Ma only initiated a handful of disciples.

The purva-paksas will attest that the Rig Veda proves that women can be gurus because they are authorised to study the Vedas and give an absurd example of a hymn that women may be taught to sing in supplicating God for a husband.

The purva-paksas will contest that there are many women gurus in the Goswami lines; but they fail to disclose that when a Goswami dies without any children then the wife will fill the vacancy and become Goswamini and if a Goswami has no son then his daughter must fill the gap to continue the seminal line becoming Goswamini. In this way many Goswami's took initiation from their own mother and two Goswamini's in succession means there was no son. So in this way the purva-paksas will attempt to present their feeble arguments as authorised; but the faulty suppositions that the purva-paksas propose are not bona fide in anyway and are merely futile ploys and vain attempts of subterfuge.

 

Vedic Validation of Man's Superior Position

The superiority of man's position is established in Vedanta Sutra 3.1.27

Vedanta Sutra 3.1.27 confirms retah-sik-yogo atha which means: The soul unites with the semen of the male performing fertilisation. (retah is semen)

It is due to the fact that the atma manifests itself in human existence exclusively by the medium of male semen that men are also irrefutably superior. The field may be fertile but without seeds nothing will grow in it; but for a human to take birth having the seeds is not enough, it must manifest a soul as well and thus the soul unites with the semen of the father who fertilises the egg within the womb of the mother, impregnating her.

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.31.1 gives testament to this also as given below:

karmana daiva-netrena jantur dehopapattaye 
striyah pravista udaram pumso retah-kansrayah

Under the direction of the Supreme Lord resulting from karma the soul enters a female womb during fertilization accompanying the semen of the father.

The Chandogya Upanisad 5.10.6 also bears witness to this beginning abhram bhutva megho bhavati and ending retah sinchati tadbhuya eva bhavati means the soul is bonded to the semen emitted by the father during impregnation.

So these three sastric references, precise and implicitly clear, illustrates the male position rationally. Although these verses apply to the atma, even paramatma may also incarnate as SB:3.24.6 states. Viryam also means semen.

tasyam bahu-tithe kale bhagavan madhusudanah 
kardamam viryam apanno jajne 'gnir iva daruni

After many years the Supreme Lord Madhusudana having entered the semen of Kardama Muni, appeared in Devahuti exactly as fire manifests in wood.

So by these four references it is crystal clear that the embodied soul in a jiva arrives exclusively through the male semen and is how a soul manifests.

 

Gotra Marriage Genetics and the Male Y Chromosome

The gotra ordinance for marriage in the Vedic culture was designed in Satya yuga by the seven rishis of antiquity. It restricts interbreeding within 7 generations from the husbands family and within 5 generations of the wife's family. Documented in Manu Samhita it prevents recessive, defective genes from being transmitted to the DNA of the offspring. Members of European royalty made it a habit of marrying their second cousins to keep the bloodlines royal, which is only two generations away. Some extremely super rich dynasties even marry their first cousins to keep all the wealth only within the family. Needless to say there are irreversible genetic defects in their DNA. As females have only X chromosomes it is the Y chromosome which determines who is male. The ancient rishis used it as a marker tracing the route of the Y chromosome by the fathers for 7 generations to insure no interbreeding. This established regulations and injunctions regarding selection of marriage partners in Vedic culture.

All males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome. All females have only two XX chromosomes. Brahma replicated the X chromosome from males and doubling it made females with two XX chromosomes. As females never have a Y chromosome, all Y chromosomes can be genetically traced in a vertical line directly transmitted from father to son back in time forever. The Vedic gotra system for marriage specifically protects the integrity of the precious Y chromosome whose presence or absence determines the sex of the offspring. This insures that there is no degenerative effect in the DNA of the semen which the soul exclusively accompanies only during procreation between a male with a female to manifest new life into creation. Scientists have completed sequencing the Y chromosome confirming what Vedic scriptures revealed 1000's of years ago that the Y chromosome exclusively existing in males is the evolutionary marker for the human species governing the evolutionary future of humanity.

That this system of Y chromosome tracing within the DNA designed by the ancient rishis in the Vedic scripture is accurate and perfected was highlighted in the 1990's regarding the famous American president Thomas Jefferson's black descendants from his slave concubine Sally Hemmings, who claimed heir to his estate. Society immediately dismissed it as bogus and Jefferson's white descendants scoffed at the idea. But DNA testing proved that Jefferson's black male descendants had the same Y chromosome as Jefferson verifying them as his blood relatives and the Jefferson estate acknowledged them as legitimate heirs.

In the 1800's in Europe the question arose among intellectuals why women never wrote any symphonies. There were women authors who used pen names to circumvent any stigma in society such as the wife of the famous author Percy Shelly, she was the author of Frankenstein. So this is not the reason because after all, anyone is free to take lessons from a music teacher and learn music and theory and many women did. Famous examples are Mozart's sister Maria Anna, Mahler's wife Alma, Mendelson's sister Fanny and Schuman's wife Clara. They were all accomplished and celebrated female classical pianists and had famous husbands and brothers as well. Certainly if they would have composed any classical music of any merit their famous husbands or brothers would have encouraged them; but none of these ladies ever composed a symphony or even a concerto. It was concluded after a lively and lengthy discussion that women had some creative limitations and were not naturally endowed with the ability to hear a multitude of musical instruments playing simultaneously in harmony in various keys at variegated intervals in unison within the hemispheres of their brains and that is the reason why women wrote so little classical music and no symphonies and concertos although they were able to greatly appreciate them.

Today of course it is understood that it is merely a matter of genetics. Men and women are wired differently. Women have two identical X chromosomes XX, while men have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome YX. This distinct difference gives men the ability to access infinitely more variables and combinations then women. The X chromosome was taken from men and doubled to create women which fits perfectly with the Vedic understanding that women were created from 50% of man or half of male DNA. So the conclusion being genetic is unbiased and finite. It's impossible for a woman to ever have a Y chromosome and limited to a pair of XX chromosomes women will never have either the possibilities, nor the range or potential that men with their YX chromosome pairing have. Its genetic!

 

Empirical Scientific Evidence of Women's Position

There is also a biological reason as well why man is superior to women and this being scientific is totally unrelated to the reality of a woman's five days of impurity during her monthly cycle. This biological reason is fundamental to human existence and also irrefutably establishes the superiority of the male species as it insures and guarantees the perpetuation of the human species.

A woman after completing her menstrual cycle every 28 days produces one or two eggs each month that can be fertilised to produce new life. An exceptionally potent woman may produce three or four eggs a month increasing the possibility of twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc. and this sometimes occurs.

Yet each and every time a man ejaculates 500,000,000 million spermazoas are discharged to insure impregnation is activated and guaranteed. That is a half a billion spermazoas with each one capable of fertilising a female egg. As amazing as it may sound, this means that one healthy human male from a single ejaculation could technically populate an entire planet if there were 500 million human female eggs ready to fertilise.

So by now this presentation has definitively and comprehensively cleared up all misconceptions concerning the lack of qualifications of matajis as gurus and this evidence will cause contrary opinions to evaporate and mistaken conceptions to dissolve as its veracity is concisely and conclusively established.

Vaisnavas hold the irrevocable position that what is written in Vedic sastra is the absolute truth. What ignores sastra, what compromises sastra and what opposes sastra is apa-sampradaya. Whoever ignores the directives, compromises the conclusions, is antagonistic to the intentions, or opposes the instructions of the previous acaryas is apa-sampradaya. Those that seek to institutionalize deviation, those that seek to instigate degradation, those that condone conceptions that are not validated by sastra and have no precedent with the previous acaryas, can be clearly understood to be agents of Kali.

 

CONCLUSION

It would greatly behoove ISKCON if the GBC once and for all in 2016 drafts an irrevocable mandate to insure that the issue of women gurus will be permanently and irrevocably closed forever, never to arise again; so in the future the women guru issue will have no opportunity or scope to be resurrected.

To blatantly oppose sastra by artificially giving matajis the independence to be guru and initiate disciples and inaugurate a female disciplic succession is as Bhisma declared the practices of the asuras and can only result in ISKCON immediately becoming apa-sampradaya. By defying sastra if the GBC allows matajis to give any kind of initiation, first initiation or second initiation and become gurus then the GBC has made ISKCON apa-sampradaya which is irreversible. Once the current is cut from the parampara it is irrevocable.

Now ISKCON is on the verge of fulfilling Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura's prophecy with the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium in 2022, that was so graciously funded and organised by our godbrother Sriman Ambarish dasa. What a marvelous opportunity for us all to get inconceivable mercy. Yet if ISKCON authorises women to become gurus, ISKCON will immediately becomes apa-sampradaya and the prophecy will not come to pass for us. We may have the big, magnificent temple with the grandeur and opulence that goes with it but asapa-sampradya the current will be cut. It will be like the Vatican.

ISKCON has been on the agenda of the demons for some time now. Srila Prabhupada himself has stated that there are demons within ISKCON. These demons would love to control this crest jewel of the Earth. They are poised and attentive, waiting for any opportunity to clandestinely take over. This was exhibited in the past when the rights to all of Srila Prabhupada's books was on the verge of being transferred from the BBT to a mysterious outside source; but was vetoed in the nick of time by Harikesa Swami. The demons are extremely devious and diabolical. They have multiple strategies that cover every base and they stay ahead of every curve. The demons do not operate randomly. Every action has a purpose. Every purpose has a goal. Every goal has an agenda. The demons are also very careful not to expose themselves; but they do leave footprints that when discovered can be back tracked to determine who they are, where their supporters are and what their agenda is.

The demons agenda at present is to make ISKCON become apa-sampradaya by critically compromising ISKCON's credibility and Srila Prabhupada's legacy and in the process destabilise ISKCON's worldwide financial base

In conclusion we have presented many proofs in various ways as evidence to show the effects of giving women the independence to be gurus and how it would be apa-sampradaya. If the GBC authorises females to become gurus then ISKCON will indeed become apa-sampradaya. By authorising female gurus ISKCON will also lose their massive Indian Life Member financial base, which keeps most ISKCON temples afloat worldwide. Thus ISKCON losing its credibility due to this gross indiscretion and also losing its major life member base and support system; much of ISKCON will become destabilised and be put into a critical condition. There is absolutely no Vedic authorization for women gurus in Satya yuga, Treta-yuga, Dwarapa-yuga or Kali- yuga. Srila Prabhupada never made a guru of any of his mataji disciples, We must follow him.

Lord Krsna explains in BG: 16.23

yah sastra-vidhim utsrjya varttate kama karata 
na sa siddhim avapnoti na sukham na param gatim

But he who discards spiritual injunctions and acts according to his own whims attains neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme destination.

vilokyaikanta-bhutani bhutany adau prajapatih 
striyam cakre sva dehardham yaya pumsam matir hrta

In the beginning of creation, Lord Brahma, the father of the living entities in the universe, saw that all the living entities were unattached. To increase population, he then created woman from the better half of a man's body, for woman's behavior carries away a man's mind. SB: 6.18.30

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dedicated servant of Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON
