Women: Masters or Mothers? is a book containing spiritual
guidance for women from scriptures and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s
teachings. A woman who follows the instructions given in
this book will make her home and family happy in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.
By developing the ideal qualities of a woman as described in
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (for example, Arci, Devahūti etc.) she can
please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Her ideal example,
behavior and purity will inspire others in her family to become
devotees.
In the Bhagavad-gītā Kṛṣṇa instructs Arjuna to execute his
prescribed duty of fighting as a kṣatriya and at the same time
remember Kṛṣṇa. By following Kṛṣṇa’s order Arjuna pleased
Kṛṣṇa.
Just like Arjuna, women also have their unique prescribed
duty which is given in various scriptures. And by following
their duties in Kṛṣṇa consciousness they can also please Kṛṣṇa
as Arjuna did. Thus this book gives much required guidance
which can help all women take up their roles as women and
thus be able to attain to pure devotional service.
