Dear Friends.
Female diksa-guru discussion is a diversion to keep the simple flock's mind busy. The core undercut of tattva is giving undue importance of pancaratra-diksa over bhagavata-dksa, and on top of that making diksa a bureaucratic strategy for encroaching the post of a guru making it a livable income and admirer source.
It is not that Srila Prabhupada and sastra contradict each other. They are in perfect harmony. Sastra ought to be understood through the instruction of a great devotee. The problem is that most people lack the qualification to see that. Both Srila Prabhupada and sastra say:
tarko ’pratiṣṭhaḥ śrutayo vibhinnā nāsāv ṛṣir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam dharmasya tattvaṁ nihitaṁ guhāyāṁ mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ
"Dry arguments are inconclusive. A great personality whose opinion does not differ from others is not considered a great sage. Simply by studying the Vedas, which are variegated, one cannot come to the right path by which religious principles are understood. The solid truth of religious principles is hidden in the heart of an unadulterated, self-realized person. Consequently, as the śāstras confirm, one should accept whatever progressive path the mahājanas advocate."
