Jaya Srila Prabhupada
In the Bible it is stated (New Testament):
Matt 7:2-5 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged , and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye You hypocrite* first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye [to judge and to help him out of his bondage to sin]."
John 8.7
And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
Yesterday one mataji send me a message and asked for my help, she told me how she was not abel to distribute books because she was in love with a brahmacari.
I told her that it was a sin to chase him since it was already clear he was not interested.Sometimes in our ISKCON society , women chase men, and men chase women, this is not good.
Sometimes ISKCON leaders presure brahamcaries to marry their female disciples . ISKCON is not meant for this kind of nonsense.But same time women must get married in most cases and they must be protected often against their own material nature.Nowadays some even push for women to become Gurus, when the direction should be to protect and train women .Not make them Gurus, I have never met any devotee lady that has properly understood the Sad Sadarbhas of Srila Jiva Goswami or even read them.How can women be Gurus? They can try to protect women in ISKCON and get them married.But do not force Brahmacaries, bribe and pressure .
Remarriage is also not allowed in ISKCON....Srila Prabhupada said all men should live in celibacy and all women get married ...he never made a single lady a GBC,TP and Guru
