He give up and become a sannyāsī, and then again become this gṛhastha. This is not good.


Prabhupāda: Sometimes dancing is done here in peculiar method. (laughs) (laughter) That is not desirable. The dancing, Caitanya Mahāprabhu is showing.

Rūpānuga: You have shown us the feet, changing of the feet the arms upraised, not with the back to the Deity.

Prabhupāda: They do it out of sentiment, but that is not very good.

Rūpānuga: Also there's something. They bump one another with the drum or with each other's bodies. They dance and they bump like this. That is not bona fide, is it? It is very popular in our movement now.

Prabhupāda: They are inventing. What can I do? If you invent your own way . . .

(pause)

Devotee: I have a question, Śrīla Prabhupāda. At what point is a householder to know when he should leave his family or her family?

Prabhupāda: After fifty years of age.

Rūpānuga: Fifty years old.

Prabhupāda: When he is fifty years old, then he can think of leaving household.

Devotee: What if the spouse is very antagonistic towards Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Prabhupāda: Antagonistic?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Opposed.

Prabhupāda: So that is not the remedy, because afterwards he give up and become a sannyāsī, and then again become this gṛhastha. This is not good. Opposition is already there, especially in the Western countries; they will never agree. So why do you marry? That is understood. Huh? Both the boys and girls trained in such a way that there must be opposition. So that is expected, that in your married life there will be opposition. So why do you marry?

Hari-śauri: He's talking about if you're married before you come to the movement and one person wants to join the movement and the other person is not very agreeable.

Prabhupāda: No. Any . . . it is not because there is opposition, therefore I give up family life. Unless one is mature, there is no need of artificially giving up family life. Best thing is if one can remain without marriage. That is very good. No botheration.
