Prabhupāda: You may come please, yes. You can say that, "My daughter was in charge of me so long, now I give in charge to this boy."
Rukmiṇī's father: My daughter was in charge of me so long. I now give her to . . .
Prabhupāda: His name is Baradrāja.
Rukmiṇī's father: Baradrāja.
Prabhupāda: So you say: "I accept (Baradrāja repeating) Rukmiṇī as my wife. I shall maintain her throughout my life, supply all necessities of life, and we shall work together for prosecuting Kṛṣṇa consciousness." You say that, "I accept you (Rukmiṇī repeating) as my husband, and I shall serve you as your most obedient wife, to keep you in all comforts, in all distress and happiness, and we shall continue our life for Kṛṣṇa consciousness." Now change. Change the garland. Mind that this promise has been made before Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Yes. You cannot change all these promises.
Change your seat. Cover the head. Cover the head and give her this red. Cover it nicely. You see, here. You should keep your wife always covered. (laughter) Don't allow this miniskirt or minishirt. (laughter) According to Vedic civilization, respectable women cannot be seen even by the sun. Asūryaṁ paśyat. How can you avoid sun? But it is said like that.
The sun will find difficulty to see one man's woman. Yes. Asūryaṁ paśyat. Asūryam. Sūrya means the sun. Sun cannot. Sun will also hankering after her, "How can I see that woman?" (chuckles) So woman should be always in privacy. They should be respectfully protected by the husband and the father. That is the way.
All right. Then it is finished. Now let us perform yajña. (devotees offer obeisances)
