generally they are after sense gratification

[Guest guest]

They are hoping to start an asrama for senior women, and they requested

financial assistance from the BBT to buy a place. Their idea is to have

about twelve women and gradually begin a preaching program. Yamuna, however,

did express some apprehension, admitting, "Generally women are mad after

sense gratification, to dip and gossip, so thus we feel to proceed with

careful attention."

This is from a letter from mother Yamuna to Srila Prabhupada.

 

This is an interesting quote because it is by a woman. I also heard many

women say the same thing.

 

We don't want to offend anyone, but the quote is kind of appropriate for

this conference.

 

By the way Srila Prabhupada's reaction to this proposition to start an

ashram for women only was that women should not be independent.
