Vedic language cannot be understood by the less intelligent class of men, who are known as woman, sudra and dvija-bandhu, stri-sudra-dvija-bandhunam [SB 1.4.25]. In the Bhagavad-gita [Bg. 9.32] also it is said,

mam hi partha vyapasritya
ye 'pi syuh papa-yonayah
striyo sudra tatha vaisyas 
te 'pi yanti param gatim
So when one becomes Krsna conscious, it does not matter whether he's a stri or a sudra or a dvija-bandhu. Te 'pi yanti param gatim: they also can be elevated to the highest platform of perfection. So that is Krsna's special favor.
