when did ISKCON start having female TPs?

It was not established by Srila Prabhupada for sure ,Srila Prabhupada never made women Tp's GBCs and sannyasis some ask why ?

 Today is the disappearance day of Shri Loknath Goswami. | Padmanabh das's Weblog


Because womens role in Vedic society is to be a mother first of all so that does not come into question.We see in the case of Gopal Krsna Maharaja ,he was a terrible grhastha which is very obvious from the records of his ex wife .You can google the testimony of Mother Ekayani .See seemed to have been a very enthusiastic devotee, and also wrote Srila Prabhupada a letter about chanting 64 rounds, it was obvious she tried for some time to chant 64 rounds daily and Srila Prabhupada encouraged her.But having been abused by her husband and having a child on her own , must have left her with a really bad taste about ISKCON and especially Gopal Krsna that became a sannyasi (he was superstingy in dealing with her and her needs, engaged however in sex when he pleased and even throw a chair at her belly when she was pregnant).We see in Srila Prabhupadas case he first took Sannyasa when he was older all his kids where grown up and married .But Srila Prabhupada allowed the young men to take sannyasa though they were mostly not qualified .Taking sannyasa also became an excuse for no longer doing active service but just be a socalled sannyasi preacher ,thus renouncing devotional service.Srila Prabhupada told Tripurari that when you take sannyasa do not give up bookdistribution this service is more important than taking sannyasa, Srila Prabhupada said a bookdistributor, does more service than a thousand sannyasis .So if women where left unprotected and unmarried, or rather divorced, because Srila Prabhupada wrote to some matajis where the husband had taken sannyasa to please not marry again .But they were still young and felt unprotected, it does seem that many of them did follow Srila Prabhupadas instruction but later married anyway.So a mixture of Western Melecha Culture and Divine Varna Asrama.Many took sanyasa because they were falling down with their wifes inside Grhamedhi life. One ISKCON sannyasi I will not mention his name as it is not proper to do so, told me I got married had sex a few time and then now taking sannyasa.I asked if you had sex a few times where are the kids ,in the case of this sannyasi he had no kids .
But you get my point.
First time I saw a female Tp was in 1984 ,Luaback , West Germany ,near the city of Koblenze , there was a Hotel bought by ISKCON used as Sankirtana base . Suhotra "swami" made mother Kamsa from Flensburg North Germany the TP , she was busy taking care of her 4 kids .Unfortunatly Suhotra socalled Swami had a falldown with Mother Arundhati , a Mataji from Chile who was married to the German Sankirtana devotee Makhana Taskara Prabhu .I thought oh this is why Suhotra made Kamsa devi dasi the (no idea why Harikesa gave her the name Kamsa?? )Tp.Because the German devotees will certainly protest to Suhotras having illicit sex.Makan Taskara and his wife left ISKCON after Suhotra fell down.This was as far I was told his first fall down after taking sannyasa. So Srila Prabhupada said the men given women a position so they can abuse them .So what is the use if a mataji is a Tp for being used for devotee mens ulterior motives.Anyway there is no such thing as Women leader in Vedic society , though some may have been qualified.I was seeing this movie based on a real story of an Indian housewife from Kolkotta coming to Norway and the Child well fare service took her two kids away.She is a qualified lady and grew up in Vedic culture of West Bengal and had a Bachelor degree in Business.Still her two kids where taking away in some business scheme ,to give her kids up for adoption.There has been many such cases in Norway that has put Norway in international spotlight over hte last 7 to 8 years.Many cases like that womens kids are taking or coupes kids .So womens role is to protect children .In ISKCON so many kids where taking from their mothers now go on Sankirtana.In New Vrindavana these matajis often spread the legs for the sankirtana leader also and took place in Hansaduttas former zone.Sankirtana leaders sleeping with all the matajis sometimes having kids with them.Was that Varna Asrama ?Certainly not..here in ISKCON Potomac we have Ananda Vrindavana matajis wife of the infamous Braja Bihari Prabhu that has defended so many childabusers in ISKCON (he used to slap Guru Kula kids too so he was also a abuser himsef there in Vrindavana Gurukula )..does she do a good job? In my opinion she is just a paid Sudrani and not qualified to be a Tp, but she will cling to that position till the the day she dies.She asked me about my book Vaisnava Amrta, and read read the chapter about Female leaders in ISKCON ,she was both angy and disgusted because in my book I made it very clear in general there are no female Gurus in our Diksa System in our Gaudiya Line.However any liberated soul like Jahnava Mata that had disciples also chanted 64 rounds daily and all her disciples chanted this much.So I told mother Urmila, when you chant 64 rounds daily and teach your disciples to chant 64 rounds you have my vote to be a female Diksa Guru, otherwise not.Actually all Gurus and disciples should obey Lord Caitanya and chant 64 rounds daily ,,in 24 hours who has not enough time to chant 64 rounds ?Like 3 rounds per over even less,,we are dealing with lazy persons in Kali yuga that are not properly trained both male and female devotees , that is my opinion.My beloved Gurudeva Srila Narayana Maharaja said I have no disciples that do not chant 64 rounds daily .He stated so also in Alachua 2000 at Jalakara Prabhus house .
This is my personal opinions and you may have your own..but if you have read this carefully you will see where I am coming from.Our Acaryas did not say you are a woman you can not chant 64 rounds. not they encouraged it and many matajis chanted this much ,,,this is real liberation.We are all souls on a journey back to Godhead not really material males or females.Look at the pastime of Sikhandi and his previous life as Ambha,,simply reincarnating to seek revenge and the death of Bhisma ?No the goal is to become a Lakesvara ,it will be needed to associate with Lord Caitanya so why not start chanting it in this life ?
SHRILA LOKANATHA GOSVAMI TO HIS DISCPLE SHRILA NAROTTAMA (both are great Acharyas and followers of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu) :

From Prema-vilasa Chapter 11:

(Note: Both Shrila Prabhupada and Shrila Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada have accepted Prema-vilasa as a bonafide scripture in their commentaries to Shri Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi-lila 13.60 purport.)

je vaishnava haibe laibe harinama;
sankhya kari nama laile, kripa karena gauradhama.

"Those who are Vaishavas must chant the Holy Names in a particular number everyday. Then Lord Gauranga, the supreme Abode of love will be merciful to them.

WHAT IS THAT NUMBER?

purva abhipraye sabe laha harinama;
keha laksha viseshatah mukhe gana.

"Everyone should specifically chant or sing the name loudly 100,000 times a day (64 rounds) with the mood I have described earlier.

EMPOWERMENT:

narottama laksha nama laya sankhya kari;
nama laile gaurangera sarva sakti dhari.

"O my disciple, Narottama! Please chant 100,000 names everyday while maintaining their count. If you chant in this way then you will become empowered by all the potencies of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu."

(note)

kali-kalera dharma--krishna-nama-sankirtana;
krishna-sakti vina nahe tara pravartana.
(Cc Antya-lila 7.11)

"The fundamental religious system in the Age of Kali is the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Unless empowered by Krishna, one cannot propagate the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

So when did ISKCON start having Female Tps is it important ? If they could also chant 64 rounds even if they become TPs, well Salary is not allowed by Prabhupada so anyone who takes Salary in ISKCON Srila Prabhupada called a Sudra ..and yes sudras do not chant one Lahk daily ,they will chant give me money give me money money money give me give me,Give Me CASH, give me Cash CASH CASH give me give me

That is their mantra, selling grains on Visnuttattva days great with falen Tps male or females as long they get a cut of the profit.Do they care sastra says if you sell grain Prasadam on Visnutattva days and Ekadasi you go to hell? They could not care less.Because money is Krsna loka and to those completly in Maya the pleasures of the genitals is Krsna loka too
