The Emergence of Women’s Voices in ISKCON is a written documentary of the voices of the first-generation pioneer women of ISKCON. In this anthology they pass the torch of wisdom and lessons learned to future generations. Thirty-four authors speak about their relationships with Srila Prabhupada, what women bring to Krishna consciousness, and the importance of women’s voices in ISKCON. They tackle difficult issues with philosophy, reason, common sense, decades of personal experience, and Krishna consciousness.
The essays in this anthology will bring light to ISKCON members around the world. They are as applicable today as they were yesterday and can be used as a road map to move into the future. Many senior devotees have poured out their wise hearts here, having thought deeply about this topic. They knew Srila Prabhupada and lived under his roof.
“It’s a really great compilation — one that will empower the Vaishnavis and educate the leaders.” Swarup Damodar Das (National Secretary and Chairman of ISKCON South Africa National Council)
“A must-read. Emergence opened a floodgate of emotion and gave me solace and wisdom.” –Mmdd

Wow, Pranada and Sudharma, Thank you for your excellent work in bringing to light the historical problems of how women were/are mistreated, and the clear solutions that need to be implemented in the ISKCON movement based on the essential philosophy of Bhakti. May those with honest hearts hear and change the unhealthy paradigms that have been stifling Srila Prabhupada’s legacy. It has been a long journey and a great service in the making for both of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart as will future generations of Vaisnavas and Vaisnavis.
Thank you soo very much for this!! Such a valuable book. It made me realise once again that knowledge is so empowering. Illuminating, clearing so much confusion, and expressing what was felt but that we did not know how to say.
Thank you for this amazing service to Iskcon and Srila Prabhupada, who I know is very pleased indeed – he who was always extremely concerned about the women and always spoke up for them with his actions and words.
Thank you for your support. We hope that the knowledge and wisdom in Emergence edifies and empowers you in your seva to your spiritual master and Lord Caitanya.
