beating women is not allowed,never ever

[Guest guest]

why would anyone want to beat anyone, what to speak of a woman???Prabhupada

never allowed this.Show me one place Prabhupada allowed this?He treated eveyone

 

kind, especially women and children.....

 

 

from ISKCON communication 1998

There is another aspect of the protection issue that raises a slightly

different philosophical basis for a duty on ISKCON’s part. That issue is

domestic

violence. In his presentation at the ‘Vaisnavis in ISKCON’ conference, His

Holiness Bir Kåñëa Swami mentioned a letter he had seen in which a male member

of

ISKCON expressed his understanding that our Vaisnava etiquette permitted him

to beat his wife as long as he used only a leather belt on her back or a

sapling on her legs. Some male members in Southern California have expressed

the

belief that Çréla Prabhupäda stated that both a wife and a mrdanga required

beating. I have personally not seen any proof that Çréla Prabhupäda endorsed

wife

beating. Moreover, ISKCON’s Governing Body Commission has specifically rejected

 

the claim that our philosophy justifies spousal abuse in any way.

Given this institutional force that misguided members are using to promote

domestic violence, ISKCON has a duty to create policies that will counter

domestic violence

 

 

 

 

my opinion

 

in most countries one goes to jail by beating amyone what to speak of a

woman, only in ignorant 3 world countries is such practices common.

Brahmins are peaceful and non violent. Mostly those who beat women are wild,

controlling and lusty and lowclass, or if a renounciate it is due to

unsatisfied lust: kama esa krodha esa raja guna samudbhavah
