Stable Marriage or a Stepford Wife?

PAMHO AGTSP!

 

> Untrue, because Srila Prabhupada did spend time defeating their arguments.

 

real brahmanas know how to spend time on defeating arguments. Srila

Prabhupada knew it. he didn't get into wrangling. I don't think all

devotees engaged in defeating arguments belong to brahmana category (this

doesn't imply I do, and that's why i don't take much part in it) . so the

point is those who are brahmanas should continue creating more brahmanas and

defeat arguments following in the footsteps of SP, i.e. with a goal to help

women, not just defeat them.

 

How many women became SP's servants after hearing him defeat women lib

arguments? many many! that's because of his genuine intention and

brahminical presentation, etc.. and how many are going against men after

getting "defeated" by men now? there is something wrong, prabhu. and that's

what i tred to point out.

thank you for the quote. i remember it now.

 

we have to notice, however, how Lord Shiva dealt with Sati when she was

going against his good advice--- he let her do it rather than saying "I am

your husband and you got to listen to me, or else get lost". This is the

difference. And when Sati got into problem, Lord Shiva didn't say "good,

good, now you understand the result of not listening to me". He simply

devastated Daksa's assembly in support of Sati. Srila Prabhupada also let

his son touch the fan when he was adamant. But all this is for helping their

dependents, not for establishing their own superiority.

 

If all men are trying to help women by pointing out their faluts then it's

fine but I have some doubt about it and that's why I wrote little bit about

it. thank you for hearing me and for letting me do so.

but the first floor holds more responsibility :-).

it's not new. the extreme is found in homosexuals.

and yet it's not difficult to find it out :-) and I can always confirm it

with someone who knows you.

 

btw, once i wrote to a devotee, who i thought was an SP disciple, a private

letter asking for forgiveness for arguing with him in a conference and the

funny thing is he didn't even say he wasn't SP disciple! later on i found

he was contaminated by rtvik-maya vada.... my prayers for him.

 

Hare Krishna.
