I believe this will evolve and heal the challenges for the young women that haven’t felt open to having a male guru or spiritual mentor due to various reasons .

Yes, I support the proposal to allow qualified Vaishnavis to give diksa in ISKCON with some restrictions.

This is a very important proposal, and I hope for the sake of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON and the Lord Chaitanya’s sankirtan movement that it’s passed

Estoy de acuerdo con que devotas calificadas den diksa, pues hombres y mujeres tienen la misma capacidad de guiar, sentir, empatizar y equivocarse. Además pienso que es una alternativa que hace mucho se debió haber aprobado.

There should be no gender bias.

Gender was not listed as a qualification only that one knows the science of Krishna

Yes, I agree to allow qualified females to become a guru and to empower more Vaishnavis. It's not about what anybody agrees anyway, it's about what Srila Prabhupada said.

Prabhupada said “ I expect all my Deciples to be initiating” What is the difficulty??? The basic premise is we are not this body!!! Hare Krsna.... Do the right thing!!!

We are not these bodies. Any qualified devotee should be allowed to become a spiritual master and help spread this Krishna consciousness movement around the world, as Prabhupada wished.
