His assertion of Maya here is mostly bs. The reason women are not represented properly is because the definition of Varnasrama has been used when Lord Caitanya asked us all to become Vaishnavas. Above the platform of Varnasrama. These sannyasi all think they are Vaishnavas and are fit to be taking disciples but they are NOT!! I’m not advocating for women gurus I’m advocating for Prabhupada as everyone’s guru. Since he was the last proven Vaishnava.
beautiful kirtan 🎹 🙏
