I am surprised that you are giving the GBC credit for practicing even false varnasrama dharma. Last I heard they didn't even want to give lipservice to such an idea! 2. Just for the record, can you please give the quote(s) from Srimad Bhagavatam which exclude women from taking the role of GBC or TP? Since Anantarupa Prabhu has already established in this conference that our management by committee system has no precedent in vedic history it would be good to start with a sound sastric basis.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 Since this is likely to re-ignite debate on women's roles, and that is not a topic currently under discussion in GBC Restructure, I'm posting this to GBC Unmoderated.
