<div class="heading">Anyone acting for Krishna, he is a sannyasi or sannyasini. It is also stated: striyo vaisyas tatha sudras te'pi yanti param gatim. So spiritually everyone is equal.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Aditya -- Mayapur 4 February, 1976|Letter to Aditya -- Mayapur 4 February, 1976]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">My dear Aditya,</p>
<p>Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 28th January, 1976.</p>
<p>The spirit soul is equal in either a man or woman. One who is actually engaged in the service of Krishna, there is no such distinction as man or woman. In the Bhagavad-gita, 6th Chapter, 1st Verse it is stated anasritah karma-phalam karijam karma karoti yah/ sa sannyasi ca yogi ca na niragnir na cakriyah ([[Vanisource:BG 6.1 (1972)|BG 6.1]]). Anyone acting for Krishna, he is a sannyasi or sannyasini. It is also stated: striyo vaisyas tatha sudras te'pi yanti param gatim. So spiritually everyone is equal. But materially a woman cannot be given Sannyasa. But you should not be bothered because you are serving on the spiritual platform.</p>
<p>I hope this meets you well.</p>
