Why krishna cares female devotees as compare to male devotees ?

Posted by nilesh4peace on August 25, 2010 at 12:34pm in Krishna

Hare krishna,

Pamho:Agtsp;

 

             i understand krishna cares and respects female devotees more.

             becuase all intimate services like cooking for him,dressing for him,making garland for him,bathing him ....... all services realted to him they only do.they can play with chldrens in home,they can read books , chant anytime.they can do everyhting directly for krishna, even they get appreciation from everyone i am not jealous but want to confirm.

             please comment i think most of us are agree with me.in scriptures also krishna gives importance to his female devotees like mother yashoda, elderly gopis, kunti maharani,mother ahilya,gopis,Draupadi,kubja ......

    Hare Krishna Shobana mataji

    Iam sorry if I have hurt you but as I have clarified that my intention wasn't to hurt you and I also do not take any offence from a bhakta.I have said that I accept what you have said mataji and respect your views. You are absolutely right gender differences are there only at the material platform and has got nothing to do with spiritual progress.

    However, What I wanted to say is that women are 'Delicate' and not weak, either physically or any other way, I hope you would understand the difference between the two words and what they connote.

    Again sorry if I sounded wrong to you in any way.. forgive me as an ignorant child.

    your servant

    Hare Krishna

    Pranam Shobana Mataji...sorry do not misunderstand me , I respect you a lot but I would say .... Though I fully agree with you on the point that Krishna doesn't see any of his creations differently but I do not agree when you said 'Women are the weaker gender', it is a long standing misconception. we should rather say that women are more delicate and sensitive but she has got tremendous strength otherwise how can she tolerate the immense pain at the time of childbirth? How does she manage home and relationships with so much grace? She is emotionally also very strong cause' she has to undergo so many difficult situations in her life.

    But At the end of it I would say we all are equal for God...Sri Krishna.

      Hare Krsna, I agree with both Shobana and Jaya Sri Radha has said here. Baktin gave a straightforward cut while Jaya Sriradha mtj has implored more spiritual examples. Humbly ask all devotees to kindly do not take offences during this discussion as these are meant to broaden our views only.
      Blessings seeked.

    Hare Krsna!

    I read this today:

    Even the greatest philosophical speculators cannot have access to the region of the Lord. It is said in the Upaniṣads that the Supreme Truth, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is beyond the range of the thinking power of the greatest philosopher. He is unknowable by great learning or by the greatest brain. He is knowable only by one who has His mercy. Others may go on thinking about Him for years together, yet He is unknowable. This very fact is corroborated by the Queen, who is playing the part of an innocent woman. 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 is more effective than showy insincere religious fervor. -- Teachings of Queen Kunti Ch. 3

    I can see that even in what is to be a peaceful community of devotees there is quarrel... this entire discussion was concerning woman's importance to Krishna and not about sex. And doesn't Vaishnava culture follow certain rules, not Western rules. In the end, it is our responsibility what we do with ourselves. Our main goal is to re-establish our lost connection with God, and to go back home, to Godhead. If you partake in the act of illicit sex, your journey will be hindered due to indulgence of sense gratification. A true devotee sees through the cloak of illusion, that cloak being your ego, skin, body, and GENDER. It shouldn't matter what gender you are, whether animals, or man. We can all be gopis to Krsna, we can see him as our husband, we can see him as our father, and so on. Krsna is ever merciful and takes in his devotees no matter what. What need is there to discuss about what gender should do what and what gender should carry a specific role, we are all his children. When it comes to the act of sex, Western culture gives you the excuse that you will get certain illnesses if you do not discharge semen, but this is not true because there are many in this world who have lived long lives simply by doing yoga and harnessing the energy from the lower chakras for use spiritually. I believe only a KC person who has self control and does not partake in those acts can they truly transcend this nasty veil of maya.Hare Krishna and do forgive any offenses.
