Dear Gurudev.

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet:

I have a question about if it is wrong to call mother or mataji, from a

female devote to another female devotee, it seems that I have been

offending some female devotees by calling them Mataji, because they argue

to me that I just have to call a female devotee mataji if I am a woman who

feel atraction to another woman, because His Holiness Srila Prabhupada

said that. I feel confuse about it and if you feel to help me to understand

it

I will feel fine. I called them Mataji understanding that this a nice way

of respect

another devotee, and this is the way I been taught.

For other side, is it correct to call Prabhu to a female devotee?, doesn't

make some confusion to know if for ex.: Devaki Prabhu can be a male or

female devotee, because there lots of male devotees with female names and

female devotees with male names.

May be this is not a very trascendental question, but I need to understand

it.

Your eternal servant,
