Vedic ladies ..

It’s often the case that applications of different aspects of Vedic truths along with their practical applications takes a certain maturity, many applications are made in different circumstances because the Vedas are so very broad.
Members of the International society for Krishna consciousness have to learn applications as they progress with the movement and sometimes things need adjustments as further insights develop, sometimes old thinking dies hard .
Guru tattva is one such issue, and the origins of the Jiva another , or whether they fell from the spiritual sky another .
Another issue are the Vedic view of women , what does it mean to protect them , obviously they are generally physically the weaker sex , they are the fairer sex , softer and kinder in general.
But how about intelligence.
Look up how many PHd women in USA in the last years in comparison to men , or some might think women need protection because of unwanted populations and that women are weak and can be exploited by men , but look up who is more likely to be disloyal and carry out infidelities .When it comes to intelligence ,  moral standing, or the ability to uphold Dharma and remaining with purity of mind and purposes, men do not have the upper hand for sure .
Nothing is as clear as some Vedic thinkers might think , and it looks like applications of Vedic education and insights need further deliberations.

“The call to “protect women” in Vedic literature (and subsequent Smritis like Manusmriti) is framed not as a statement of female inferiority, but rather as a
social and spiritual imperative to protect the society’s most precious resource—its virtue, purity, and continuity. In the Vedic worldview, women are viewed as the manifestation of Shakti (divine energy) and Lakshmi (prosperity), and ensuring their safety and dignity is paramount for the stability of the family and society. “
By some Vedic thinkers .

• Women as Treasured Jewels: Kerry Brown in Essential Teachings of Hinduism explains that in Vedic tradition, a woman is looked after not because she is incapable, but because she is treasured. Just as, for instance, a priceless diamond is stored in a secure box rather than being left in the open, the protection of women is deemed necessary because of their immense value to society.
• The Spiritual Duty to Honor Them: The Mahabharata (Anuśā. 46.5-6) and other scriptures strongly emphasize that “where women are honored, there the gods rejoice”. Conversely, if women are aggrieved or mistreated, it is believed the family will perish.

What should be taken as a cooperative role between men and women wherein the majority of cases the various psychology to go with it is in place , so ,  the greater understandings of the greater Vedic picture should be considered.

We must also remember the words of Lord Krishna when He said to Srimati Radharani “You are My Guru ,  I am your dancing pupil ”

Srila Gour Govinda Swami says ..

So in the guru-parampara the topmost position is Radharāni.
This is guru-tattva. Those who get vraja-sevā-adhikāra, the right to serve Krishna in Vrajabhumi, they are the servants of Rādhārāni. Those who have gotten that opportunity serve Radharanatha.
And Gaurasundara is radha-bhava-dyuti-suvalitam.
Radha-bhava is predominating in Gaurasundara.
