The real question is, why do you find it necessary to tell a female disciple

of Srila Prabhupada -- who is your senior, and whom you are required to

treat as your mother -- that she would be "wise to understand" that beating

women is okay?

 

The sad fact is that you are COMPLETELY wrong in rebutting Kanti devi's

statements: we can speak of non violence and compassion, and those things

are required before you start speaking of beating. You've put the cart

before the horse. On top that, you've totally ignored the fact that this

quote is from Tulsi das and Srila Prabhupada said he wasn't much of an

authority, so get off your soapbox and chant Hare Krishna. When you start

chanting purely, without offense, then get back to us with your

realizations. Until then, you're out of your depth, so who cares for all

your talk of when and how it's "okay" to beat women? As your mother, Kanti

devi can give you a thrashing and there's damn all you'd be able to do about

it - THAT is Vedic.
