<p>Brahmānanda: Is it possible for a woman to become a brāhmaṇa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He is... Woman is a brāhmaṇa's wife. Then she is automatically a brāhmaṇa.</p>
<p>Indian man (6): Suppose she doesn't want to get married for the rest of her life, just wants to serve the Lord?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So in his spiritual position everyone is a brāhmaṇa.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: But you give brahminical initiation to unmarried women.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. But on spiritual point she is brāhmaṇa. On the spiritual platform there is no such distinction.</p>
<p>Devotee (7): Oh, it's not possible for a woman to become a sannyāsī.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Devotee (2): What is the position of the woman in a..., late in life, the wife of a devotee?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that position?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: After the husband takes sannyāsa?</p>
<p>Devotee (2): Yes.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: What is the duties of the woman after the husband takes sannyāsa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So remain a devotee, widow. She is not allowed to marry.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): I know, Prabhupāda, one of your Godsisters in Vṛndāvana. She is very old. She is staying in Tīrtha Mahārāja's maṭha. So she told me she took her initiation when she was about sixteen year old and still she stays in the temple and she... (break) ...say you're the most pious person on this planet.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)</p>

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Subala -- San Francisco 16 December, 1967|Letter to Subala -- San Francisco 16 December, 1967]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">I have explained tonight in the temple meeting that Krishna does not live in Vaikuntha nor does He live in the hearts of the yogi. But He lives there where His pure devotees chant His glories. You need not go to India spending money. When time will be mature I shall ask you to go to Vrndavana and Krishna will give you some money on December 29 for Krishna's service. It is a great opportunity. Organize the temple to your best capacity assisted by your sincere devotee wife. Krishna will bless you and make you happy in all respects. As soon as you call me I shall go to your place.</p>

<div class="heading">I think of you very often that you are a most ideal devotee wife.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Balai -- Los Angeles 21 July, 1969|Letter to Balai -- Los Angeles 21 July, 1969]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">I thank you so much for your letter of July 15, 1969, and I think of you very often that you are a most ideal devotee wife. Your husband, Advaita, is working very hard and nicely in Krishna Consciousness, and when the husband is executing his activities very nicely it is credit not only to the husband himself, but it is a credit to his wife also. In materialistic marriages generally there are too many troubles and frustrations because the basic principle for both the husband and wife is their own personal sense gratification. Therefore there is inevitable conflict and divorce petition. But in a Krishna Conscious marriage the basic principle is for both husband and wife to serve Krishna nicely and to help the partner advance in spiritual life. In this way both the husband and wife are true benefactors for one another and there is no question of any serious conflicts or separation. So I am sure that to have such nice parents who are devotees of Lord Krishna, your child Nandini is very, very fortunate.</p>

That was experimented by me in your country, where I came alone without any support; and Krsna is so kind that He has sent me so many boys and girls like you. Lord Caitanya said that every village and town on the surface of the world will know the message of the Sankirtana movement. This very statement affirms that in every village and town all over the world there are many candidates who are awaiting this message.</p>
<p>Please therefore work very seriously. Chant your daily beads regularly. You have got a very nice devotee wife, she will help you in all respects. So try to follow the footsteps of the disciplic succession, and everything will come out successful.</p>
