What was the narrative behind this? Women can't teach? Only one guru is bona-fide, and that is Chris Butler?

She teaches natural aging with millimeter paint on her face, "always smelling mango at the table on the beach", and sung maha-mantra in pajamas with a neckline to the fire in the fireplace. These are sublime teachings ...

By the way, as you can see, they creatively decided to add rules to "Gaudiya Kantahara" ...

It is a difficult proposition to meditate on the breasts of Radha when previously criticizing the prakrita-sahajita and treating the spiritual relationship in terms of worldly sexuality. Suddenly there is excitement about Radha's breasts. Of course, it can be considered that the exalted brahmacari penis does not grow up in such meditation because he has freed his consciousness from the element earth, water, fire, and so on, and he perceives it transcendentally. But what is it supposed to be an expression of? Great spiritual love contemplating the "amorous" pastimes of the divine couple? Besides, the question is still being raised as to whether Radha is the wife of Abhiman only in the earthly Vrndavana or in Goloka Vrndavana. Such an approach to divinity and spirituality carries an element of hypocrisy and the aftertaste of romance, and not spirituality understood as a sensitivity to each being in its diversity.
Another aspect is the mentioned that the so-called the yogis discussed their transcendental forms. When participating in a sect, it was treated as an individual, "spiritual-intimate" experience. Why externalize them? Anything that will help anyone? What does it make to manifest "saguna" in the form of an external sound when it is an individual effort?
All this philosophy does not defend itself. Leaving aside the practically impractical side for a man who has to live "in the mundane gunas" taking care of his family, earning money and barely having time for 16 rounds when 64 is the minimum. Schizophrenia is inevitable. It can be good for a sanyasi in a warm country who has gone to the forest, eats the roots and can meditate.
