Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 Sarasvati Thakura also said that women are on the level of jungle men, or wild people, meaning aborigines. He warned that women generally cannot go to a very high level of consciousness, so he warned that though their words may be sweet, their hearts are very hard. This, of course, is from sastra. Sarasvati Thakura many times warned against association with women. In C.B. he gave a ten page purport on big sized pages, about the dangers of associating with those who are attached to women. This was the purport to the Bengali verse, "muni gana dustha sanga kori nanandan(?)" In this long purport Sarasvati Thakura gives so many quotes from scriptures warning about the dangers of associating with women. In Sarasvati Thakura's Gaudiya Bhasya commentary, he always discouraged the association of women within the Math also. They could come and visit and take darshan etc., but not intimately mix-up. They should keep away from the place of cooking, because that's the extension of the Deity service. Very strict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
