Prabhus i give you...
The observations of Praghosa Das, the most intelligent living organism ever to have worn 12 tilaks: He reads "being a woman and specifically his mother" as "being his mother and not because she was a woman". Why are people so blind with their leftist egalitarian mleccha yavana thoughts that they can't even read English now? These people are so blinded with their yavana ambition that they are now overlooking common sense as well. So there are these owls in the Hare Krishna movement who cannot see the light.

According to sastric injunctions, there is no difference between siksa-guru and diksa-guru, and generally the siksa-guru later on becomes the diksa-guru. Suniti,
however, being a woman, and specifically his mother, could not become Dhruva Maharaja's diksa-guru. SB 4.12.32 purport

The above reference is cited by those who argue that women cannot serve as diksa guru. However the above reference does not tell us anything more than we already know. Specifically it does not say that women cannot serve as diksa gurus, it simply says that the prime reason in the case of Suniti, as to why she couldn‟t be Dhruva‟s diksa guru, was because of their family connection - mother and son. Any objective reading of the above passage would not conclude that women cannot serve as diksa guru, at best the argument can be made that it is not the norm but we already know that. We also know that it is not ideal for a either parent to give diksa to their children, the most recent example of that was Bhaktivinode Thakura and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura. The main issue presented above is the familial connection, it simply cannot be the fact that Suniti was a woman, as everyone is in agreement that women have given diksa and can give diksa (as per our GBC resolutions of 2005 and 2009)
