           needs  to fully  accept  Śrīla  Prabhupāda’s  instructions  and
           desires and create communities where devotees can live the
           way that Kṛṣṇa intended.

           I realize that there are many controversial topics presented
           herein by His Holiness, but I know in my heart that what he
           says is right and true. We may not like the bitter medicine, but
           it is what we need right now to save society. Śrīla Prabhupāda
           wanted us to carry forth his mission, and the only way we can
           stay true to his teachings is to follow varṇāśrama-dharma as
           fully as possible in this Age of Kali. This book can show us the
           ideal, and the closer we can get to this ideal, the closer we will
           come to Kṛṣṇa.

           I read the book,  Women: Masters or Mothers?  and really
           appreciate Mahārāja producing such a publication. Śrīla Bhakti
           Vikāsa Swami has presented a realistic view of todays culture
           through his divine and realized knowledge. He made the point
           in the book that everyone should respect women and also gave
           the way for women to be respected in society.

           In the modern age women suffer due to the cruelty and brutality
           of some of the members of society. This is really shameful and
           creates a dangerous future. One of the most important points
           I saw in this book is that nowadays women are completely
           unprotected due to the phenomenon of feminism created by the
           present society. Feminism states that women are equal to men.
           This is socially incorrect because when women are working as
           housewives even after getting a good material education they
           can make their home into heaven but when mothers work
           outside the home for money they cannot instill proper culture
           and values in their children and cannot properly serve their
