Category:Our Godsisters (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
The global Krsna consciousness movement is fundamentally built upon the principle of cooperative loving service. Srila Prabhupada envisions his society as a close-knit spiritual family where disciples support and inspire one another without harboring mundane rivalries. He teaches his followers to respect their godsisters profoundly, addressing contemporaries as prabhu (master) and viewing married women with the reverence owed to a mother. By maintaining this pure and sober atmosphere, devotees can resolve inevitable disagreements just like simple family quarrels and focus entirely on their devotional advancement. Ultimately, this harmonious cooperation is essential to prevent disturbances that hinder the vital work of translating Vedic literatures and spreading the universal message of Godhead.
- A Spiritual Family: Disciples are never alone because their godbrothers and godsisters serve as their true eternal family.
- The Mood of a Servant: Addressing contemporaries as master cultivates humility and prevents the exploitative mentality of the material world.
- Respecting Women as Mothers: To remain sober and steady in spiritual life, male devotees must view all married women within the society as their mothers.
- Guidance from Senior Devotees: Older, experienced godsisters play a vital role in training newer members in philosophy, deity worship, and standard practices.
- Resolving Family Quarrels: Disagreements should be settled amicably without causing disturbances that disrupt the global preaching mission or the translation of sacred texts.
