Appreciations


                 [of the seminar, “Women: Masters or Mothers?]

          One lecture I came across on your website is “Masters or
          Mothers?” I listened twice in full and many times in pieces. I

          took notes, did research, and had a few discussions with mātājīs
          of dif ferent backgrounds and cultures. Most everything was
          covered in that series of lectures on the topic of women in
          society that I so desperately needed to hear. It connected so
          many dots for me. Immediately, I understood why I suf fered
          so much in this lifetime on so many levels. Not only why I
          suf fered but why most of the women and actually all of society
          are suf fering now too.

          I feel very grateful to the devotee who gave me this lecture
          series  titled  “Women: Masters  or  Mothers?”  delivered  by
          HH Bhakti Vikāsa Swami, which helped me to understand the
          reasons and logic behind all the prescribed Vedic injunctions
          def ining the roles and duties of a soul in a woman’s body.
          Ultimately, the goal of all the prescribed rules and regulations
          is to elevate the soul to a higher consciousness, or in other
          words, to help the soul to advance spiritually.
          Mahārāja exposes the truth behind the duplicity of this material
          world created by Māyā, which women fail to understand due
          to their conditioned nature. He explains everything in such
          a clear, simple, and convincing manner that an ordinary and
          fallen soul like myself, and all others keen to f ind out the truth,
          can understand all the points.

          He takes important teachings in certain sections of the śāstras
          prescribed for women and explains why they are to be followed,
