In the same way it can be argued that there were no qualified women around

at that

time, but now when there is, they can get managerial position.

 

There were computers around, and there was also computer conferencing

software, and computer conferencing going on, when Srila Prabhupada

was still on the planet.

Yad yad acharati shreshtas.... Since you are definately a "shreshta" MGP I

think you ought to teach me & the others by your example here....

Look in the folio, Liberalananda Maharaj.

 

Or in the Gita 3.21,

 

yad yad acarati shreshthas

tat tad evetaro janah

sa yat pramatma kurute

lokas tad anuvartate

 

SYNONYMS

yat yat—whatever; acarati—he does; shresthaha—a respectable leader;

tat—that; tat—and that alone; eva—certainly; itarah—common; janah—person;

sah—he; yat—whichever; pramanam—example; kurute—does perform; lokah—all the

world; tat—that; anuvartate—follows in the footsteps.

 

TRANSLATION Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And

whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.
