Women Diksa Guru?

Posted by David on March 14, 2013 at 5:37am in Krishna

Please accept my most humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All Glories to Srila Guru Maharaj and Srimati Guru Mataji.

All Glories to Sri Sri Nitai Gauracandraji.

Hare Krishna

I have so many female Siksa Guruji's, and they are as dear to me as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhuji Himself. So I began to think why not any women as ISKCON Guru? So many qualified Mataji's we have in ISKCON and they are preaching just like our great Sannyasi and Grihastas and Brahmacari's.

So my question is why no ISKCON Female Guru? They are not regular women. Srila Prabhupada has said that women in ISKCON are not regular women and by their association one becomes a Vaisnava.

Please forgive me if I have made an offense in asking this question.

Your servant,

Bhakta David

    As I know for a male devotee it isn't good to have female guru at least in general. Read a book "Taking care of Krishna devotee". There it is explained well.
