PowerOfWords

Dear Vaisnavis,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, our ever well-wisher.

Even though Malati Devi Dasi had invited us to find quotes from the sastras and Srila Prabhupada related to the way to address women in our movement, at the moment I do not have the time at all to do any of this (Too busy with the Padayatra Story book). However, in 1998, I made a presentation in Radhadesh on the power of words during a Women Ministry conference. A good part of that presentation dealt with the way women are called in ISKCON. You might find it stimulating and interesting, even though I’m fully aware that I would not write exactly the same paper now (I just made a few small changes), 16 years later; many things have changed in ISKCON since that time. But the power of words remains.

You may read the full presentation here.

Your servant, Gaurangi dd
