I resently read PREMA VILASA by Nityananda das who was traveling with Nityananda Prahus wife Jahnavi Mata and she were His Guru and first of all instructed Him to write this awesome book, which will make all Vaisnavas cry. So therefore - no question

If a woman can be a disciple, she can be a guru. Simple.

Women should be initiating spiritual masters too.

We are not the body. It is shameful that we do not already have UNRESTRICTED female bodied diksa gurus.

The GBC should not interfere with the guru disciple relationship... male or female. This "spiritual" and personal relationship is beyond the managerial authority of the GBC.

We are not this body is the most basic pillar of our philosophy and as such there is no valid philosophical argument against women becoming representatives of Krishna. Those who oppose this petition do not deserve to be leaders or representatives of ISKCON.

Iskcon decision makers have been sitting on the fence with this for way too long. It is time... Way overdue. We are not these bodies and we must set the example for future generations of Vaisnavas not to be hypacritical between what we preach and how we act.

This is a welcoming proposal with the blessings of Jagadguru Srila Prabhupada. Sure this will be a historic moment in the modern world and will bring in reformations in both material and spiritual life, living and understanding of Womenhood. Prayers for this bill to be passed at the GBC meeting. Regards Sai Srinivas Nandagopalan.
