“Vaisnava-diksa according to Narada Pancaratra: Can a Female Devotee be a Diksa-guru?” by Damodara Das ( BVKS ) and Krishna Kirti Das ( BVKS ) is now available on Amazon in paperback and also as a Kindle ebook.

In order to settle all questions as to the circumstances under which women may act as initiating spiritual masters, or dīkṣā-gurus, we have presented here an authorized description of the system of initiations that Śrīla Prabhupāda and our ācāryas have prescribed. The authority for this presentation is that it is extensively grounded not only in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s own statements but in the authorized statements of the śāstras and our ācāryas. As such, this is the first authorized account of the process of initiations followed in ISKCON today.”
