But as many on this > conference advocate the equality of men and women, Not the equality of men and women, that is a strawman argument GHQ types stubbornly cling to. What many of us support is equal opportunity and judging position by qualification, not by birth. That is a big difference. > shouldn't she be allowed to > take sannyasa. Does anyone have any sastric quotes? How about Mother > Hare > Krsna dasi who has researched varnasrama and cow protection so well. No, she shouldn't be allowed to take sannyasa. Why? Because sastra forbids it. "Quoting from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said: asvamedham gavalambham sannyasam pala-paitrkam devarena sutotpattim kalau panca vivarjayet [Cc. Adi 17.164] "In this age of Kali, five acts are forbidden: the offering of a horse in sacrifice, the offering of a cow in sacrifice, the acceptance of the order of sannyasa, the offering of oblations of flesh to the forefathers, and a man's begetting children in his brother's wife. >>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 9.6.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of response begins to betray your intelligent approach to justifying your choice. Please Bhakta Prsni Prabhu, I truly wish for you to live a peaceful life as a devotee of the Lord, but to defend your choices based upon obvious misconceptions is not wise, in my opinion. It will drive you crazy. Live with your choice. Don't try to equate the Lord's perfect creation of a woman's body/mind/ego/karma and a man's body/mind/ego/karma by thinking it can be done surgically.

Incidentally, are you making those numbers up? How did you find them out if you didn't? And how did you get a copy of your own post as it seems you did?

The logical implication seems to be that men talk more than women. No need to cross your legs. I'm sure the scissors patrol is not heading your way. ;-) Ys, Madhusudani dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
