to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
A grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasi and brahmacari should be very careful when
associating with women. One is forbidden to sit down in a solitary place
even with one's mother, sister or daughter. In our Krsna consciousness
movement it has been very difficult to disassociate ourselves from women in
our society, especially in Western countries. We are therefore sometimes
criticized, but nonetheless we are trying to give everyone a chance to chant
the Hare Krsna maha-mantra and thus advance spiritually. If we stick to the
principle of chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra offenselessly, then, by the
grace of Srila Haridasa Thakura, we may be saved from the allurement of
women. However, if we are not very strict in chanting the Hare Krsna
maha-mantra, we may at any time fall victim to women.
Srila Prabhupada
