Women, power and shyness

Filed under: Women — carana renu dasi at 4:41 pm on Tuesday, August 16, 2005

“As far as the women class are concerned, they are accepted as a power of inspiration for men. As such, women are more powerful than men. Mighty Julius Caesar was controlled by a Cleopatra. Such powerful women are controlled by shyness. Therefore, shyness is important for women. Once this control valve is loosened, women can create havoc in society by adultery. Adultery means production of unwanted children known as varna-sankara, who disturb the world.”

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.9.27 purport

Women have to protect themselves not only from their own tendency to abandon their shyness, but also from the tendency of men who want them to abandon their shyness. Even in ISKCON, many men will repeatedly and with no shame try to do this, intimidating them, using inverted scriptural logic, etc. Best to always depend upon Srila Prabhupada’s sublime protective instructions.
