An Urban Devi event with Sita Devi Dasi
Description: Vaishnavis truly are empowered by Krishna as they can give direction to all women. They are the true leaders the society needs today. But are we recognized as leaders? Are we empowered within our society to be the leaders? What needs to be done to claim our role and position as spiritual leaders in the movement?
