Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 I have a question on verse 9.32 of Gita. BG 9.32 says: " O son of Prtha, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth--women, vaisyas [merchants] and sudras [workers]--can attain the supreme destination." What are the reasons to consider women of lower birth? There is not much difference between kshatriyas and vaisyas with respect to spiritual progress.why Sri Krishna mentioned one, but not other?
