Dear Devotees:

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I meant no offense in my criticism of Georgina's spelling. I was merely trying to point out that women are less intelligent than men, as stated by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada said that women are less intelligent, and he always backed up his statements with evidence from Vedic scriptures as well as practical examples. If we disagree with this, then we cannot claim to be bonafide followers of Srila Prabhupada.

My wife and I find it quite discouraging that CHAKRA has become a platform for so-called women's rights and other deviations from the pure teachings that Srila Prabhupada gave us. Many devotees nowadays choose to sugarcoat Srila Prabhupada's teachings in a way that is more appealing to homosexuals, independent women, and other groups who may feel offended by his pure teachings, but we prefer to take Srila Prabhupada's word as it is, not as we would like it to be.

If you would like specific references from Srila Prabhupada's books about why women are inferior to men, a good place to start is the Vedic Marriage website. Here's a link to some quotes from Prabhupada's teachings. I won't post the full page here since it is quite long:

And for those ladies who do not want artificial independence and wish to be a chaste Vedic wife and mother, you can find like-minded association in the dharma-patni e-group, which was created for women who wish to follow Srila Prabhupada's teachings:

"Women should be very expert in cooking. That is their natural tendency. They should be educated how to cook nicely, how to please the husband, how to take care of children. This is Vedic civilization." (Room conversation, Baltimore July 7, 1976)
