Srila Bhakti Pramod Puri Maharaja taught a sannyasi should never be alone with a woman , he was a strict sannyasi and chanted 64 rounds daily since he joined Gaudiya math , he was a disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada and close friend of our Srila Prabhupada: Puri Maharaja again visited Rome. After welcoming him at the airport, his disciples drove him to the temple they have in the city. During this particular trip, one day Maharaja entered his room after delivering a lecture. He was alone. Devotes remained outside cheerfully talking about Maharaja's glories. An innocent young mataji took advantage of the situation and boldly ventured herself inside the room. Noticing her, Maharaja started to call aloud: "Aaaaahh, Aaaaahh, Aaaaahh". When nobody noticed his voice, Maharaja raised his voice: "AAAAAHH! AAAAAHH! AAAAHH!" Finally, to convince all that he was in imminent danger, he literally started to scream at the top of his voice: "AAAAHH!!! AAAAAHH!!! AAAAAHH!!!
This time everyone ran inside the room to see what was happening to Maharaja. With a pale face due to the effort Maharaja stared intensely at the lady who was respectfully but frightened standing in front of him with folded hands. Then all understood: Maharaja was crying for help! Although a perfect self-realized soul, Maharaja wanted to impart to his disciples a memorable lesson: a sannyasi or brahmacari should never stay alone with a woman. What to speak of talking intimately with her! What to speak of receiving messages in front of her or getting poetry from her etc.
He was elderly enough to be the great-grandfather of this particular lady, nevertheless he showed with his personal example that a serious practitioner of Krishna consciousness must abide the rules and sadacara of the sannyasa asrama. As our Srila Prabhupada commented of Govinda dasi after forcefully sending her to Hawaii: "She can perfectly be my grand-daughter... I have no problem at all keeping her engaged in Krishna consciousness. But I'm a sannyasi A Ceasar's wife must be above any suspicion.' "


http://bvml.org/SBVPGM/ The book by Bhakti Vikas Swami about :"Women ,mothers or masters" is very much in line with the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and ,Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada to bad the GBC is not in line with Srila Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada and make women into masters not mothers

karmana manasa vaca
sarvavasthasu sarvada
sarvatra maithuna-tyago
brahmacaryam pracaksate

“The vow of brahmacarya is meant to help one completely abstain from sex indulgence in work, words and mind – at all times, under all circumstances and in all places.”
