It is profoundly shocking that ignoring sastra and guru and sadhu has become a fashion.
I refer to the announcement that the ISKCON GBC has evidently according to report decided to allow female initiating guru.

The fact that the founder-acharya said ” Women can never transcend the modes of passion and ignorance ” was ignored.

And I know why. There is a Mayavada conception of the soul’s equality the Kanistha devotee adheres to.

As one advances ( if one advances ) there is realization that subtle body determines birth. Mayavadis do not know about the subtle body and how the soul is separate.

The mayavadi remains in the false ego thinking body differs only. Thus this irreligious decision has been made based on avidya.

I could pole the voters and prove my contention.

I am disgusted and angered and disheartened. The decision is proof that placing non self realized souls in power is a recipe for disaster.
