Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

It is different situation. I cannot reject anyone. I cannot say that "You are woman. You are condemned." I cannot.
Morning Walk -- January 9, 1977, Bombay:

Prabhupada: Government means a set of rascals. But practical point of view the woman wants equal right. Equal rights they enjoy, and the woman becomes pregnant, and he goes away, the boy. And she has to kill the child or beg from the government. This is her freedom. And still, equal rights. Where equal right? The boy has gone away. You also go away? No. You'll have to carry the child. To get freedom you have to kill or you have to beg. And still she thinks, "I am free."

Dr. Patel: Such experience (indistinct).

Prabhupada: Rather we are giving freedom, that "Never mind you have got illegitimate son. Come here. Live with us. Chant Hare Krsna."

Trivikrama: And by teaching them to be chaste...

Prabhupada: Yes. And teaching "Don't do it again." That's all. We are giving. And they are happy. My Godbrothers criticize that "You keep women in the temple." I tell them, "I cannot reject."

Dr. Patel: I was also thinking like that, today, I mean, presence I said, that Vaisnavas keep woman...

Prabhupada: It is different situation. I cannot reject anyone.

Dr. Patel: No, that's right. You are right. But this is a great affecting the boys down here. After all...

Prabhupada: But they are taught, "Don't be misled." But if they cannot, that (indistinct). I cannot deny. I cannot deny. I cannot say that "You are woman. You are condemned." I cannot.

Dr. Patel: Caitanya Mahaprabhu used to keep women away from...

Prabhupada: That is personally as a sannyasi, not that... He never said that women should be refused Krsna consciousness.

Dr. Patel: No. Nobody has said so. But they should not mix.

Prabhupada: Here in the Western country it is their custom to mix, intermingle freely. How can I stop it? I may stop in my temple, but they will do it outside. So it is impossible.
