MIXING WITH WOMEN AFTER TAKING SANYAS


Now instruction regarding dealing renunciates with women by Srila Prabhupada is crystal clear. Here comes the fun. The below-posted text has been on the entry door of the dwelling of one sannyasi, whose name shall not be mentioned. I guess he wanted to remember the instruction of his spiritual master or just plain pretend that he cares. Despite that, he has been habitually breaking that rule by keeping close to women in various ways. He's not the only one. But who am I, a rotten dog, to talk about sannyasis who always make the same mistake Srila Prabhupada is pointing to? Yet I do not dare to break this rule though I am no sannyasi. I pity that instead of showing us how to follow this you, here and there too often, feeling too lonely or too transcendental to women and rules pertaining to association with them, mostly gullible she-disciples or she-followers, habitually fall into the same trap. What's wrong with you? Or is it just part of a process that you want to teach by teaching hypocrisy game? Anyhow, many are sad to observe it.

"And this kind of hypocrisy-they have taken sannyasa and mixing with woman. This is not to be allowed. If you want woman you get yourself married, live respectfully. We have no objection. But this hypocrisy should be stopped. There have been so many fallen down. First of all there will be no sannyasi anymore. I have got very bad experience. And at least, we are not going to create new sannyasis. And those who have fallen down, let them marry, live like respectable gentlemen. I have no objection. After all, young man, fallen down-that's all right. It is by nature's way. But marry that girl. That am insisting from the very beginning, that no friendly liaison. If you want, get one nice... They are, all of them qualified. Get one wife and live like a gentleman. Similarly woman. Live with one husband fastidiously, with children. What is the wrong there? We have so many grhastha devotees. You have got children. Pradyumna has got child. Gopala has... Live with husband, wife. There is no restriction for husband and wife. But what is this nonsense that you take sannyasa and make relation with...? This should be completely stopped."


(Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, January 7, 1977, Bombay)
