Perhaps he is trying to address the subject matter why Srila Prabhupada is the only known Gaudiya Acarya who gave Brahma Gayatri (the first of the seven mantras given in the line of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati) to ladies, and why others do not give it to ladies. The other followers of Bhaktisiddhanta do not give the Brahma Gayatri to ladies, to men only. Moreover, outside the line of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati many do not give the Brahma Gayatri at all, as they say it is much related with the varnashrama-dharma and brahmanas' occupational duties, and not directly with the process of bhakti and related arcana. Maharaja, would you have a comprehensive answer to this all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
