Maybe because the women form is a Maya arrangement for test us. For this

reason, the man has the responsability to be serious in the practice of the

KC, because women has so many difficulties (I said this following sastra).

>From the work "Sannyasi rules" of BR Sadhu Maharaja, I found this quote:

"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".

Practical comments: how many gurus has this questions from female disciples:

* I have a child. I think is hard to chant the japa when I have to do my

duties in the home, and serve my husband. ¿What should I do?

Generally, the answer is try to chant the japa, follow the sadhana, take

care of your childs. The reality shows (at least for me, and I travelled

for a lot of countries), that the Matajis with childs has generally a

divorce with the japa. Ant everything becomes worst if more childs appear,

or in the case of divorce, etc.

We are the hope. At least for us.

Your servant
