Woman in leading position is not dangerous. This statement is an insult to

my beloved Vrinda devi who is the main manager in the spiritual world. She

is managing all the pastimes of Radha and Krishna. Women have always been in

managment, men have always been managing, some renounciets have been

managing sometimes, mainly monasteries. Women have been in managment always,

in all cultures, both in the material and the spiritual world. It's not the

question if women should be managing, because they are doing that anyway,

the question is rather what, where and how should they be managing.

 

It is not a woman in leading position that is dangerous, but rather the

combination renouncietes and women together in leading position that is

dangerous. This kind of practice never existed in any culture of any time.

It is dangerous for both renounciets and the women, because there is a

danger of developing material attachment. Why is there danger for developing

material attachment? Because it is the nature of male and female to be

attracted to each other. Attraction between male and female is spiritual and

it exist on all levels, everywhere, eternaly. God is one, but He has devided

Himself into two (Radha, Krishna) for the purpose of enjoyment. He has

devided Himself into male and female to experience exchange of love. Love is

spiritual and attraction between male and female is spiritual. Both exist in

Krishna and they are spiritual and eternal. The purpose of attraction

between male and female is to bring about exchange of love. Attraction

between male and female and love exist everywhere on all levels, because

they exist in Krishna. The way we experience this attraction and love

depends on our concsiousness. Denying this attraction it is the same as

denying our very nature. We, as living entities, are part of Krishna, we are

His energy (marginal) and we are qualitatively equal with Him. We are of the

same nature as Krishna. So, this attraction between male and female and

desire to love and receive love exist in us, and are spiritual. They exist

in both renouncietes and women. The danger of mixing renounciets and women

manifest only for those who are not fully selfrealised, because this

combination might provoke the desire to once again try to enjoy seperated

from Krishna.

 

Besides that, there are certain codes of behaviour for certain groups in a

society. One of them is that renounciets (sannyasis) don't mix with women,

and vice versa. Another one is that renounciets are those who have given up

society, so they are socially dead men.

Dear Sridhari prabhu, compering ISKCON women to Cleopatra is insult both

to Cleopatra and to ISKCON women. First, there is no woman in ISKCON who is

that beautiful as Cleopatra, second, there is no ISKCON woman who would act

in the same way Cleopatra did (atleast, I hope so).

Third, this example shows just what can hapen if unqualified men manage.

They fall for the womans beauty and she can turn them around her finger.
