Who is woman?

Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das

Jai Jai Sri Radhe!

What does woman really mean? Veda says women means prakriti, the material energy or maya. Atma is an individual conscious person, a tiny particle of eternal consciousness.

“Man or woman” are gender upadhis relating only to a temporary external body made of prakrti, material energy or maya. The eternal truth is that both man and woman are eternal atmas or mini purushas.

So, any atma who identifies with his/her external body and tries to enjoy it is prakriti or woman and in maya, illusion.

It’s a grand illusion, Mahamaya, to think, “I’M A MAN! I’M A WOMAN. The eternal truth is that you and everyone else is an eternal loving servant of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. “I AM KRISHNA DASA’, “I AM KRISHNA DASI.”

All atmas are meant only to eternally love and affectionately serve the supreme atma, Bhagavan Sri Krishna! What we call the female qualities of humility, surrender, seva, and affection are generally found in women. However, these are the eternal qualities present in all liberated atmas in the spiritual realm whether they possess male or female eternal spiritual bodies.

Thus, all of us, both men and women REALLY NEED to develop and display more humility, love, affection, surrender and seva.

May Radha-Krishna bless you all! Jai Jai Sri Radhe!
