ENFORCING POSITION OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY

Comments from discussion about "enforcing" the position of women:
Akincana Krishna Dasa: BG 1.40: When irreligion is prominent in the family, O Kṛṣṇa, the women of the family become polluted, and from the degradation of womanhood, O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, comes unwanted progeny.
BG 1.41: An increase of unwanted population certainly causes hellish life both for the family and for those who destroy the family tradition. The ancestors of such corrupt families fall down, because the performances for offering them food and water are entirely stopped.
BG 1.42: By the evil deeds of those who destroy the family tradition and thus give rise to unwanted children, all kinds of community projects and family welfare activities are devastated.
BG 1.43: O Kṛṣṇa, maintainer of the people, I have heard by disciplic succession that those who destroy family traditions dwell always in hell.
Meena Devi Dasi: Yes these were Arjuna's rationalizations for "not fighting." Krishna rejected them. BG 18:66 "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear." If we take up Lord Chaitanya's sankirtana everything will adjust. No extra endeavor needed.
