Jahnava-devi was preaching in Nityananda's absence
Rukmini dasi: He was looking around the room on one of these evenings and he said, "I want each one of you to open a temple. I want each and every one of you to open a temple." And because I'm a very impetuous person, and I was more impetuous then because I was only 16 years old, so I said, "Even the girls, Swamiji?" He said, "Yes, why not? There is no difference." And he said, "In Nityananda's absence, Jahnava-devi, she was preaching like anything. There is no difference between boys and girls." That was very sweet.
