Thank you for facilitating this conversation. Why has the SAC report not been made public? Since it is so emphatically proves that there is no reason why women can't give diksa? In theory, women are supposed to be offered the highest respect as mothers, but in many places ISKCON, and especially in India, the abuse of women is prolific. So, these people who are promoting traditional values are not even upholding the most basic Vedic values of never abusing women and children, EVER! In varnasrama, there would be a zero tolerance for abusers in any form. The Indian leaders would have more credibility if they stopped enabling abusers and paedophiles.

To your point about Srila Prabhupada not differentiating between men and women: I remember reading in one of the books written about Srila Prabhupada..an early female devotee who was a resident and very close to Prabhupada felt that He was dismissive of her and that Srila Prabhupada often spoke " down" when He spoke about women... This woman Devotee went to Prabhupada and told Him how upset she felt... Prabhupada told her that He did not see her as a wan! He saw her as Vaishnavi...
