Question:      Why are there few or no female gurus in the Gaudiya sampradaya recently, especially in Iskcon and the Gaudiya Matha?

Answer:     If a woman were eminently qualified, I think she would be recognized in either of these missions. However, many male gurus in these missions are less than eminently qualified . Perhaps this is one reason why you find an element of sexism there.
