According to Manu-Saṁhitā, Vedic principle, woman has no independence. She must be taken care of by somebody. In the early age the father is to take care—in the younger age the husband, a good husband has to take care; and when she is old, the elderly sons, he has to take care. But woman is never allowed to remain independent. That is Vedic principle of life. Actually, the woman is the weaker sex. They require protection by good father, good husband and good child also.

If you make your consciousness completely absorbed in Kṛṣṇa, if you understand what is Kṛṣṇa, what is your relationship, how you have to act in that relationship, simply if you learn this science in this life, then it is assured by the Lord Himself, Kṛṣṇa, in the Bhagavad-gītā, tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]])

"After leaving this body, one does not come again back to this material world to accept one of the 8,400,000's of species of body, but he goes directly unto Me." Yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama ([[Vanisource:BG 15.6 (1972)|BG 15.6]]).

"And if one can go back there, then he does not come back again in this material world to accept this material body." And material body means three kinds of miseries, threefold miseries, always. And at least threefold miseries are exhibited in four kinds of distresses, namely birth, death, old age and disease.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not a new movement. It is there always in the Vedic scripture, but people have forgotten. So we are trying to revive that movement, although in India the movement is there always, especially since the last five hundred years, introduced by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. In your country it is introduced since 1966. But people are appreciating. We have got many books and literature, magazines, to convince people about the importance of this movement.

And those who are coming to be a serious student of this movement, initiated, they require to follow four principles of regulation. That one, first regulation, is that the student is not allowed to have illicit sex life. In this country, the guardians, the teachers, the government allows the boys and girls to mix together and have illicit sex life without marriage. That is not allowed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. If any boy or girl wants sex life, then he should regularly be married. That is civilized way. Because in the civilized society there is marriage ceremony.

According to Vedic system, the father and mother's responsibility is for the child, unless they are married. It is the duty of the parents to see that the girl and the boy is married by the supervision of the parents. That is the Vedic way of civilization. In India the . . . especially for the girls. If the girl is above the age of thirteen years old, and if she is not married by the father, or in the absence of father, the elder brother—mother has not so much responsibility, but the father or the elder brother—then it is said that that man, father or elder brother, will go to hell.

So it is a great responsibility to take care of the girls. According to Manu-Saṁhitā, Vedic principle, woman has no independence. She must be taken care of by somebody. In the early age the father is to take care—in the younger age the husband, a good husband has to take care; and when she is old, the elderly sons, he has to take care. But woman is never allowed to remain independent. That is Vedic principle of life. Actually, the woman is the weaker sex. They require protection by good father, good husband and good child also.

In my case also—there are many cases—I've left my home. I have got my wife, my elderly children, my grandchildren. So they are taking care of my wife. She has no concern. So that is the way of social system. And especially in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we want to give the students complete peace of mind, because without peace of mind nobody can cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
