You just dont smoke the same incense as me!!

[Guest guest]

Since I was actually born in the holy dham in India

into a very pious Vaisnava family that has

worshipped Krsna for centuries, I'm not impressed

by your macho wordjugglery!!

 

As Krsna says in the Gita, "if anyone with love

gives me a leaf, a flower or water I accept."

 

There is no mention of gender specific roles.

 

Radhe Radhe!!

Hare Krishna!

 

Shri Radhe has highest Krishna consciousness. At the same time, she happily

carries the pot with milk on her head - for Her Krishna! She eternally tends

to her various household duties conscientiously. FYI, when this Kali Age

finishes, and even when the whole universe dissolves, she continues to

happily serve Krishna as a milkmaid/gopi.

 

She doesn't seam to care much for contemporary conceptions of equality...

 

What value is there in equality?

 

Shri Radhe is SUPERIOR due to Her SERVICE QUALITY.

 

 

Maybe Western cultural nuances are not what makes one happy?

 

 

Shame on exploitation, indeed - but NOT on cultural values, and values of

higher consciousness, of traditional village where Krishna is in the centre.

 

Equality accomodates differentiation of duties, as equality reffers to right

to devotion to Krishna. In administration and few other duties there is a

need for certain intensity involved, which in normal conditions rarely

suits gentle female nature of a caring mother, even if she can "go through

motions" of such duties, proving that "she can do it!" Such duties tend to

be more suiting for protective, father-like nature of a healthy man.

 

Exceptions can't be turned into rule, and it is the question how well and

satisfactory such exceptions can be accomodated to properly serve the

community rather then to serve the lone interest and desire of such

non-standard, demanding individual, on the expense of well-being of the

whole community in the long run.

 

 

Jaya Sri-Sri Radha-Gopinatha!
