[Paramananda das]

Please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

There is a huge discussion about womens role in KC it has been going on for years in ISKCON and still is .  http://www.dandavats.com/?p=10521#comment-16873

Then you have some opinions like :http://harekrishnanews.wordpress.com/2012/10/31/he-man-womn-haters-...

 

Certainly we can not hate anyone, Isopanisad states that very clearly :

Anyhow Vrajabhumi makes a good point:

C.C. 3.2.104-106 itself. I am reproducing the excerpt from the Vedabase as follows:

1) “mahitira bhagini sei, nama — madhavi-devi / vrddha tapasvini ara parama vaisnavi //”

TRANSLATION: Sikhi Mahiti’s sister was named Madhavi-devi. She was an elderly lady who always performed austerities. She was very advanced in devotional service.

2) “prabhu lekha kare yare — radhikara ‘gana’ / jagatera madhye ‘patra’ — sade tina jana //”

TRANSLATION Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted her as having formerly been an associate of Srimati Radharani. In the entire world, three and a half people were His intimate devotees.

3) “svarupa gosani, ara raya ramananda / sikhi-mahiti — tina, tanra bhagini — ardha-jana //”

SYNONYMS svarupa gosani — Svarupa Gosvami; ara — and; raya ramananda — Ramananda Raya; sikhi-mahiti — Sikhi Mahiti; tina — three; tanra bhagini — his sister; ardha-jana — half a person.

TRANSLATION The three were Svarupa Damodara Gosvami, Ramananda Raya and Sikhi Mahiti, and the half a person was Sikhi Mahiti’s sister.

after some frustration she comes with this good point:

Ardha-jana may literally mean half-person, but it wasn’t meant literally. It was a euphemism used at times in Hindu culture to refer to widows. The idea being that the ladies had lost “their other half.” It wasn’t meant to denigrate women as having half the value of “a full entity like a male.”

Yes so she is without her better half, and she is not a half person as suggested by Radhakrsna das Brahmacari, she has that right.

She writes:

I googled the difference in the weight of male and female brains and guess what? Male brains are heavier, looks like Srila Prabhupada was right AGAIN.

No one argued that he was wrong when it comes to men having larger brains than women. But not all men have larger brains because brain size is relative to body size, i.e. a will have a larger brain than a small man. Also, Prabhupada greatly exaggerated the difference in brain size making it seem like there is a really big difference, when in reality the difference is quite small. Besides that mistake, his point in bringing this up was in promoting the idea that men are inherently more intellectually capable or intelligent than women. Why did he do that? It was part of his overall promotion of women as created by God to specifically see themselves as inferior and submissive to men, i.e. men have larger brains therefore women should submit themselves to men for guidance. Well, Flipper has a larger brain than women and men, maybe we should all submit to Flipper.

Here is another funny one:

She is crazy on many things and shows she is less intelligent in some insane ways:

Highly offensive /...........and she was once a TP in Gita Nagari , oh Krsna ....

Anyhow then there is something called sexual harrasment, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_harassment

And it is not only men who sexually harrass women , there is also the other way around.Women using all kinds of nasty tricks to marry someone , using hatred, violence and so on.

I have experienced how some "socalled devotee"  women  ,sexually harrased me , especially here in  ISKCON USA.

first time happend in 1989, one mataji came up to me before mangal artik: "Prabhu I want to marry you"

A year later one lady sat on the stairs crying because I refused to talk to her, her Guru called her beautiful and refused to discipline her, the TP tried

to force me to marry her.

1995 ISKCON Potomac , a married Prabhupada disciple approached me while doing laundry and asked I marry her so she could leave her non devotee husband. I was shocked...

She later did so and married an already married devotee (after he divorced his present wife,

   and she her non devotee husband)

And so the insanity in ISKCON goes on.Same time some animalistic TP in ISKCON Potomac accused me to a GBC man I was trying to steal his wife.

All just animal life......So never trust a woman or a man controlled by a woman.(10 years later his wife asked me what to do now that he had illicit sex with a non devotee woman, I told her stay faithful to him even though he acts like a dog right now, she did and he returned to her)

And in ISKCON LA one crazy mataji came up to me and told me, I have 20 girls if you like to marry anyone one of them....that makes even me think:

yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-pādāravinde

nava-nava-rasa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt

tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne

bhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca

"Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Kṛṣṇa, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure, I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste." Yāmunācārya had formerly been a great king who enjoyed sexual happiness in various ways, but since he later engaged himself in the service of the Lord, he enjoyed spiritual bliss and hated to think of sex life. If sexual thoughts came to him, he would spit with disgust.

Sexual harrasment is not ok , and one day someone may sue ISKCON for sexual harrasment be careful about this .....

vaisnava das anu das

Paramananda das

SB 7.9.45, Translation and Purport:

Sex life is compared to the rubbing of two hands to relieve an itch. Gṛhamedhis, so-called gṛhasthas who have no spiritual knowledge, think that this itching is the greatest platform of happiness, although actually it is a source of distress. The kṛpaṇas, the fools who are just the opposite of brāhmaṇas, are not satisfied by repeated sensuous enjoyment. Those who are dhīra, however, who are sober and who tolerate this itching, are not subjected to the sufferings of fools and rascals.

Materialists think that sexual indulgence is the greatest happiness in this material world, and therefore they make elaborate plans to satisfy their senses, especially the genitals. This is generally found everywhere, and specifically found in the Western world, where there are regular arrangements to satisfy sex life in different ways. Actually, however, this has not made anyone happy. Even the hippies, who have given up all the materialistic comforts of their fathers and grandfathers, cannot give up the sensational happiness of sex life. Such persons are described here as kṛpaṇas, misers. The human form of life is a great asset, for in this life one can fulfill the goal of existence. Unfortunately, however, because of a and culture, people are victimized by the false happiness of sex life. Prahlāda Mahārāja therefore advises one not to be misled by this civilization of sense gratification, and especially not by sex life. Rather, one should be sober, avoid sense gratification and be Kṛṣṇa conscious. The lusty person, who is compared to a foolish miser, never gets happiness by sense gratification. The influence of material nature is very difficult to surpass, but as stated by Kṛṣṇa in Bhagavad-gītā (7.14), mām eva ye prapadyante, māyām etāṁ taranti te: if one voluntarily submits to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, he can be saved very easily.

In reference to the low-grade happiness of sex life, Yāmunācārya says in this connection:

yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-pādāravinde

nava-nava-rasa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt

tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne

bhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca

"Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Kṛṣṇa, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure, I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste." Yāmunācārya had formerly been a great king who enjoyed sexual happiness in various ways, but since he later engaged himself in the service of the Lord, he enjoyed spiritual bliss and hated to think of sex life.
