           One of the instructions that I found striking in this book is how
           a wife should submissively serve her husband with dedication
           in all situations.

                   MBBS, Consultant Radiologist, Gurgaon, India

           After attaining the best possible education and getting a so-
           called good job in the medical field, I realized that my life was
           nothing but a series of serious mistakes, one after another in
           the search for material sense gratification. My entire thought
           process changed after I seriously started hearing and reading
           the teachings of His Holiness Bhakti Vikāsa Swami Mahārāja
           and realised that a confused upbringing and the search for
           material sense gratification is spoiling the women of this
           generation and that the biggest satisfaction for a woman still
           lies in performing the traditional role of being a caring mother
           and  in  serving  one’s  husband  submissively  while  being  in
           Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Now after becoming a mother of three
           girls including twin daughters, I feel raising them into nice
           girls is a far more challenging and yet satisfying task than
           earning any amount of money. By clarifying and reinforcing
           the traditional role of a woman, this book removes the modern
           age confusion in gender roles and can therefore save many
           fallen souls like it saved me.

           life, such as marriage, childbirth, education, and career, and

           of relevant quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings and the
           śāstras. It encourages open-minded readers to question their
