Philosophy without religion is > mental speculation" In this regard, if I am not mistaken, Srila Prabhupada used to point out that women are by their inclinations mor religious than men. If this is not the sign of higher intelligence, than what is it then. BTW, for the strict adorents of every Prabhupada's spoken words (Jivan Mukta & Basu Ghosh, something for you): "Now I see that in our Society the girls are more intelligent than the boys." (SPL to Krsna devi, 17th February, 1970) Jivan Mukta, a quote for your exploatation. Take it up. Beat us all with it over our heads (like you do in the case of Prabhupada's answers to the famous feminist-reporter) ys mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 1998 Report Share Posted December 13, 1998 > So if women are to be less intelligent, please come with some better > arguments than brain weight, thank you. It is my experience that women, in general, which doesn't necessarily pertain to given individuals, have a different emphasis in types of intelligence, for sure, so in that sense I am not arguing that the equality is in the sense of sameness. Also, it is a commonly heard thing that we only use 10% of our potential intelligence, so by training a mind to better utilise intelligence, overall capacity is not much of a bar.

Padmanabha Prabhu is from Nrsmihadevas farm in germany. Padmanabha Prabhu is an elderly devotee, very much know for his astrological knowledge and a very brahminical person (as you have seen in his text) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
