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."</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Such experience (indistinct).</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Rather we are giving freedom, that "Never mind you have got illegitimate son. Come here. Live with us. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa."</p>
<p>Trivikrama: And by teaching them to be chaste...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: 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."</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: I was also thinking like that, today, I mean, presence I said, that Vaiṣṇavas keep woman...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is different situation. I cannot reject anyone.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: No, that's right. You are right. But this is a great affecting the boys down here. After all...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: 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.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Caitanya Mahāprabhu used to keep women away from...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is personally as a sannyāsī, not that... He never said that women should be refused Kṛṣṇa consciousness.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: No. Nobody has said so. But they should not mix.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: 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.</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: Nowadays even in the universities, they allow the free mixing of boys and girls in the same dormitories. In the same dormitories.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Same room.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: In the same dormitories they live together you mean. Girls have no separate...</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: Oh, yes. Free mixing.</p>
<p>Trivikrama: Same showers even. Bathroom the same.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Oh, were...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa gives freedom. Striyo śūdras tathā vaiśyās te 'pi yānti parām. "Never mind. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Come on." Māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa ([[Vanisource:BG 9.32|BG 9.32]]). "Anyone. Come on. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Take prasāda." This is my propaganda.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: My mind is haunted by those (indistinct). There will be somebody...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I know that I sincere to Kṛṣṇa, He'll do the rest.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: That is right. You have extreme faith.</p>
