Krsna Calls the Cows With
His Flute
"I envy no one, nor am I partial
to anyone. I am equal to all.
But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend,
is in Me, and I am also a friend to him."
(Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, 9.29)

"Tritiya-Prakriti:
People of the Third Sex"
By Amara Das Wilhelm
A detailed study into the Vedic concept of a third sex
that defines homosexuality, transgender identity and intersexed
conditions as a third category of nature apart from ordinary
heterosexual males and females. The various types of third-gender
people are all described, along with their social roles in
Vedic society and accompanied with Sanskrit references and
terminology. The original GALVA research that started it
all!
Sri Ardhanarisvara
"Throughout
Hindu and Vedic texts there are many descriptions
of saints, demigods, and even
the Supreme Lord transcending gender
norms and manifesting
multiple combinations of sex and gender."
(Tritiya-Prakriti: People of the
Third Sex, p. 40)

"Hindu Deities and the
Third Sex"
By Amara Das Wilhelm
A valuable resource guide containing twenty-nine of the
most common and interesting Hindu deities related to gender
transformation and diversity. From Ardhanarisvara to Yellamma-devi,
this article provides brief but thorough summaries of the
various demigods, incarnations, and saintly personalities
known to transcend gender norms. These deities, worshiped
throughout India by millions of Hindus--including people
of the third sex--are shining examples of the religion's
vast diversity. Each entry includes a picture of the deity,
how the deity is associated with gender variance, appearance
pastimes, festival celebrations, and more.
"Modern Biology and the
Concept of a ‘Third Sex'"
By His Holiness Bhakti Ananda Goswami
A thorough and scientific analysis of the various types
of intersex and homosexual conditions as understood by
modern science, and how such people should be treated according
to moral and ethical standards in today’s society.
Srila Prabhupada and Allen Ginsberg
"...we are accepting everyone into this movement, regardless of sex, caste,
position, or whatever. Everyone is invited to come chant Hare Krsna.
This
is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's munificence, His liberality."
(Srila Prabhupada-Lilamrta)

"Conversations Between
Srila Prabhupada and Allen Ginsberg"
Excerpts from Srila Prabhupada-Lilamrta by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami
This article is filled with fascinating exchanges of
friendship between a holy man from India and a homosexual
activist of the Beat generation, which took place during
the critical period of the 1960s. A.C. Bhaktivedanta

Lord should respect and befriend everyone, including openly
homosexual people.
"Vaishnava-Dharma
Is Very Liberal"
By Amara Das Wilhelm
A detailed explanation of the two types of dharma or
religion based on the writings of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. Naimittika or temporary dharma is concerned with the external rituals
and regulations of religion, while jaiva or Vaishnava dharma
addresses the eternal nature of the soul, stressing compassion
and the inclusion of all living beings. This article
explains how we must give precedence to the latter by emphasizing
the person (jaiva-dharma) over the ritual (naimittika-dharma).
 
Gender Diversity in Nature
"Just
as there are many incredible displays of sex and gender
variety among Hindu deities, so also
nature displays an amazing
array of sex and gender diversity within
the animal kingdom."
(Tritiya-Prakriti: People of the
Third Sex, p. 100)

"India’s Slow
Descent into Homophobia"
By Amara Das Wilhelm
A historical perspective on homosexuality in India and
how its formerly permissive and liberal society was corrupted
by caste consciousness and artificially imposed Islamic
and Victorian “values.”
Lord Krsna Crossdressed as Syamali
“When
Radharani and I had quarreled, and She was angry with
