Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 But the problem is that you keep quoting Indian or Hindu culture for dealing with women, ie: > 2. Indian culture teaches society to address women as mother yet you quote Vaisnava culture for dealing with men, ie: > It's "Gaudiya Math culture", introduced by Srila Saraswati Thakur to > attempt to inculcate humility in his followers, by seeing others as our > superiors and viewing ourselves as "fallen souls". Srila Prabhupada said quite clearly that this (what you've written above) applies to men and women: that as Vaisnavas, we see everyone else as "prabhu", except ourselves. Ignoring that is simply selective reading; quoting Srila Prabhupada for one thing and ignoring something else he said is not only offensive, it just creates grounds for argument. And there's a whole lot wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
