A very good observation. Our founder Acarya also made a similar observation

(See below quotes). That is not only in ISKCON. It is in every country and

every religious sect. Simply because, women are more sincere. Any one, man

or woman who is sincere will get the mercy. Sincerety is the real key and not

so called intelligence. So if men are more sincere you will find more men.

PhalenaPariciyate. We can judge by results.

 

I am not sure if the statistics show, Srila Prabhupada initiated more men than

women.

 

Also does intelligence not work even after all the brain cells are dead?

 

--------

Women in general are unable to speculate like philosophers, but they are

blessed by the Lord because they believe at once in the superiority and

almightiness of the Lord, and thus they offer obeisances without reservation.

The Lord is so kind that He does not show special favor only to one who is a

great philosopher. He knows the sincerity of purpose. For this reason only,

women generally assemble in great number in any sort of religious function. In

every country and in every sect of religion it appears that the women are more

interested than the men. This simplicity of acceptance of the Lord's authority

is more effective than showy insincere religious fervor. -------- Teachings of

Women in general, being very simple in heart, can very easily take to Krsna

consciousness, and when they develop love of Krsna they can easily get

liberation from the clutches of maya, which is very difficult for even

so-called intelligent and learned men to surpass. --------- Krishna Book Ch 23
