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.
