“Mothers and Masters” presents traditionalist arguments for the direction of the K???a consciousness movement, proposing that we should take up Srila Prabhupada’s mandate to establish var?asrama-dharma rather than capitulate to the norms and ideologies of secular culture. Particularly discussed are gender roles, parental responsibilities, feminist follies, and some of Srila Prabhupada’s more controversial teachings, such as those concerning early marriage, divorce, and polygamy.
