<div class="heading">Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura was so strict (laughs) that because he married twice, he used to say, "strī-saṅgī, attached to woman," even his father. (laughter) He was very strict. Sometimes when he would be angry, he'd, "You strī-saṅgī." And don't discuss this thing. (laughs) He was very strict. No excuse, no compromise.

<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. And from him we learned that intoxication, any kind of intoxication, is bad.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura also was...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He was also not very serious, but Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura was very serious, and we learned from him. No, it is śāstrīya. No intoxication is good.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How is it that Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura was not so strict in that regard, yet his son, who learned from him, became very strict, like a rod?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (chuckles) Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura was so strict (laughs) that because he married twice, he used to say, "strī-saṅgī, attached to woman," even his father. (laughter) He was very strict. Sometimes when he would be angry, he'd, "You strī-saṅgī." And don't discuss this thing. (laughs) He was very strict. No excuse, no compromise.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's where you got all of that from.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: My is imitation, but his was real. (laughs) All these Navadvīpa people were afraid of him.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Afraid.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Strong-hearted. They made a, what is called, conspiracy to kill him.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Who did this?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, the Navadvīpa gosvāmīs. They raised 25,000 rupees and wanted to bribe this police officer that "You take this money. We shall finish him. Don't take any action."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But the policeman said?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Refused. "Yes, we take bribe, but not in such cases."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Why?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "He's a saintly person. We cannot agree to that." Everyone knows police takes bribe. They admit, "Yes, we take bribe, but not in such cases." This was told by Guru Mahārāja, Bhaktisi..., to me. He was talking many things confidential.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda, what is that story that one time Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī was invited to... He wanted to get invitation or he was invited to speak and they put so many conditions on his speaking. It was some place.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
