Unravel the Real Victory for a Woman by reading “MOTHERS & MASTERS” by HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami.
“Mothers and Masters” presents traditionalist arguments for the direction of the Krishna consciousness movement, proposing that we should take up Srila Prabhupada’s mandate to establish varnasrama-dharma rather than capitulate to the norms and ideologies of secular culture. Particularly discussed are gender roles, parental responsibilities, feminist follies, and some of Srila Prabhupada’s more controversial teachings, such as those concerning early marriage, divorce, and polygamy.
A must-read for every member of our ISKCON Society. If we simply ignore this book as irrelevant or fanatical, our tendency as a religious movement will no doubt be to adopt the spirit of modernism, thus inviting calamity upon our spiritual progress, both individually and collectively.

I agree with every line of this wonderful book. In ISKCON, I am always looking for women who can inspire us with their personal examples of being good mothers and at the same time maintaining good sadhana. I find the actions of such mothers speaking louder than the voice of the women sitting in front of the microphone and delivering lectures.

The book makes it clear why stri-dharma is very much relevant for the women of ISKCON here and now if we want to show the world a positive example of stable family life, happy children and harmonious marriages.

By imitating the Western and materialistic lifestyles, the degradation among Indians is now even worse than that among Western people. The result is social calamities like divorce, gang rapes, child abuse, abortion, murders, etc. To stop these things, or at least escape from them, we women should use our intelligence to read this book and implement the teachings in our lives and thus benefit ourselves and the society.

Now after becoming a mother of three girls including twin daughters, I feel raising them into nice girls is a far more challenging and yet satisfying task than earning any amount of money. By clarifying and reinforcing the traditional role of a woman, this book removes the modern age confusion in gender roles and can therefore save many fallen souls like it saved me.

On this day we can remember Srila Prabhupada’s instructions on women’s role in Krishna Consciousness and the importance of the Varnasrama institution for supporting it. Thus we request everyone to read and distribute the book Mothers and Masters widely on this day explaining that instructions by Krishna given in sastra on marriage and motherhood constitutes the best role a woman can take up and pave the way for her advancement in Krishna consciousness.
