          husbands and other family members. As a result of this there
          is disastisfaction among family members.

          Mothers are known as the first guru of the child. Mahārāja
          clearly  and  directly  explained in  this  book that  men  and
          women are naturally created differently by God so we should
          not try to challenge nature. Women should be great mothers
          and not servants of low paying businessmen. If we minimize
          our material necessities and follow the motto of simple living
          and high thinking, all money problems will automatically be
          solved. In our Indian culture every woman deserves the same
          respect as a goddess but this motto of simple living and high
          thinking is gradually vanishing and this will create a dangerous
          social condition for the world in the future.
          Mahārāja has reflected that nowadays mothers are studying
          but they do not know how to cook which is the basic skill
          required  for  a  mother!  So  every  devotee  should  enlighten
          themself about the important roles of women in society as
          this is the only way for universal social harmony. If we want
          to save our sanātana-dharma and Vedic culture every young
          mother should read this book and follow the points herein. We
          should come out of the mentality of trying to promote equality
          between men and women.

          How do we continuously keep Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON on the
          right track being loyal to the aim that he as the founder-ācārya
          had set for our movement to save the entire human society?
          HH Bhakti Vikāsa Swami gives a clear and unambiguous
          answer to this question in his book Women: Masters or Mothers?
