<p>Brahmānanda: Is it possible for a woman to become a brāhmaṇa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He is... Woman is a brāhmaṇa's wife. Then she is automatically a brāhmaṇa.</p>
<p>Indian man (6): Suppose she doesn't want to get married for the rest of her life, just wants to serve the Lord?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So in his spiritual position everyone is a brāhmaṇa.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: But you give brahminical initiation to unmarried women.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. But on spiritual point she is brāhmaṇa. On the spiritual platform there is no such distinction.</p>
<p>Devotee (7): Oh, it's not possible for a woman to become a sannyāsī.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
