Pranams. Jay Srila Prabhupada.Here you are counter scriptural argument : https://youtu.be/1-9YUaZMDMw
Did you go through my book “Female Diksha-gurus, Do We Need Them?” that establishes the authenticity of Bharadvaja Samhita and also answers all of your points and much more already?
If you want to get a copy of the book and refute that book, be my guest….
Dandavats Pranams
Jaya Srila Prabhupada
In my book “Female Diksha-Gurus, Do We Need Them?” I have established that Bharadvaja Samhita is a bonafide scripture accepted by Gaudiya Vaishnava Acharyas and all of your arguments are already answered and refuted and much more.
So, get the copy of the book and try to refute it, instead of repeating your arguments ….
Dear Śrīdhara Śrīnivasa Prabhu
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.
All glories to your Guru Maharaja.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I want to thank you and also the other members of ISKCON India Scholars Board. I came across your YouTube Videos researching the topic of Female Diksha Guru. Your profound sastric research in that topic impressed me a lot. Being a grand disciple of Śrīla Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja it was already from the beginning clear that there is no question of any woman to even become a leader in any field, what to.speak of becoming Guru.
I wanted to contact you personally but unfortunately I couldnt find any contact Email number or WhatsApp of yours. Therefore I am contacting you through this channel because I have a general request regarding Guru-tattva. I feel and know that ISKCON since long time is diverting from the true meaning of the real qualifications of Gurus in their instituation and thereby they are contributing to already being apa-sampradaya by their example and teachings.
In that ocnnection I would love to see a sastric presentation from you about real Guru-tattva. Of course Śrīla Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja was a strong advocate of real Guru-tattva and can therefore be taken as a great reference. And also Śrīla Prabhupadas books are practically on every page emphesizing Guru-tattva .
Please let me know your thoughts about that and If possible contact me over WhatsApp or share your contact.
Thank you again for your great service.
Hare Krishna
Your servant
