i've noticed that some of the mothers in ISKCON have the suffix Dasi and
some have Devi dasi. does Devi dasi only apply to married ladies, and Dasi
to brahamcharinis ?

ys, alex.

My wife, Labangalatika dasi, says:

So, all initiated ladies have the suffix "devi dasi" to their names,
but for practical reasons, for instance having a very long name, they
may choose to only use dasi which means servant.
