Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Prabhupada sometimes quoted the poet Tulasi dasa about four things that can be beaten. One can beat a drum, or a dog, or a woman, or a sudra. One time when Prabhupada mentioned this, he laughed and turned to his disciple Nara-Narayana. "Nara-Narayana understands this principle very well," said Prabhupada, and the other devotees also laughed. But then Prabhupada turned seriously to Nara-Narayana and said, "But don't do it. These are not ordinary women. These are devotees." >>> Ref. VedaBase => SPN 3-24: Srila Prabhupada Said: on Women I am not trying to start a controversial discussion, but I would like to know how to answer the following question. Why would it be OK to beat (ordinary) women? The other day I was asked this question and all I could say was that I wouldn't do it. Thank you.
