get tough ..dress code

[Guest guest]

Dear Malati Mataji.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Thank you for clarifying the details behind the covering of head for

matajis, especially for explaining difference of rules for married and

unmarried.

 

Also I accept your statement, that "male species", as you call them, are

responsible for behavior of matajis, or "female species". As we learn from

Srila Prabhupada, woman is allways to be protected by men, either father,

husband or son. This has to do with woman being subordinate, and even less

intelligent, as Srila Prabhupada explains several times. For example,

husband controls the activities of his wife, similar to purusa and prakriti.

It seems that men are responsible for upholding tradition, and when men are

gone, or become useless in performing their duties, irreligion becomes

prominent in society, and that is reflected in behavior of women. If men

would behave properly, and take care that their wives behave properly, then

we could say, that we nicely take care of each other. Then phrases like

"love and trust" would reveal to us their higher meaning. Much can be

concluded on the basis of questionable behavior of ladies in society. Just

like strength of husband and father can be valued by observing behavior of

his wife and children, similarly strength of society leaders (husbands,

fathers, managers, gurus...) of our movement can be valued by observing

behavior of our youth and ladies. Especially, since it is popular to say,

that society is as strong as its weakest member (taken from example that the

chain is just as strong as its weakest link).

Dear Malati,

Dandavat pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Touche! Thanks for the spicy input! Free speach is still alive, thank God. I

wonder how much more time we are going to waste on these typese of issues? It

certainly seems that becoming fully Krishna Conscious is more important, with

respect for all living entities, regardless of species or gender.

Your servant and God brother,

Makhanlal das

They system for covering heads is reserved for married ladies. That is what

we were instructed by Srila Prabhupada. Later on, agitated young men in

saffron decided everyone female, married or not, from the age of birth should

"cover their heads" (falsely thinking that this act would relieve them of

their

agitation). Thus you had little tiny female children with big cloths safety

pinned on their small heads, what to speak of anyone older. But, in its

original version, the head was first covered at the time of marriage (it

was/is part

of the marriage ceremony) and thereafter.

 

While you are going on about the women, please tell some of the male species

to cover their revealing rear ends, as well as their naked torsos and

chests.

 

"get tough"? I'd say, welcome to 2006, "get real."
