Prabhupāda: Garden. It was a jungle. Eh? (break)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Helping to load the jeep. (break)
Prabhupāda: . . .for foretelling, lāvanyaṁ keśa-dhāraṇam (SB 12.2.6). So all the young boys, they are keeping big, big hair. That is foretold in Bhāgavata, five thousand years: "In Kali-yuga, they will think by keeping long hair they become more beautiful." (laughter) (break)
Madhudviṣa: In Kṛṣṇa's time everyone had long hair also.
Prabhupāda: No.
Madhudviṣa: No? Well, Kṛṣṇa did, Balarāma did, and the cowherd boys.
Prabhupāda: We don't find. That is normal. Kṛṣṇa can do anything. You cannot imitate Kṛṣṇa.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Also . . .
Madhudviṣa: No, it seemed like that was the style during those days, long hair.
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Also, from the pictures we see that the residents of Nabadwip and Māyāpur seemed to have long hair, the householders.
Prabhupāda: Then why this statement is there, lāvaṇyaṁ keśa-dhāraṇam (SB 12.2.6)? If it is approved, why Bhāgavata criticizing?
Harikeśa: Was long hair a sign of beauty in those days?
Prabhupāda: It was not meant for everyone.
Harikeśa: Kṣatriyas.
