<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Conversation on Train to Allahabad -- January 11, 1977, India|Conversation on Train to Allahabad -- January 11, 1977, India]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Rāmeśvara: And we said that people are writing us so many letters ordering our books by mail. So you say do not like us, but we say they love us.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What was his reply?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: On every point he was defeated. Then this Reverend from the Lutheran Church, he said that we have invented this Kṛṣṇa religion. He said that Kṛṣṇa is an ordinary man who is a sex symbol, having so many women, gopīs, wives, and that we are saying that He is God. And this is heresy, he told us, a concoction. So he was defeated in different ways also. And at the end he had to admit that "The only way to find out is if you buy their books, so everyone go buy their books and see for yourself."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, even taking it that Kṛṣṇa is after sex, then if sex is bad, then why you are after sex? The whole world is going on after sex. How you can deny it?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: He says that sex is not for God.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why? If sex if not there in God, then how it comes? If God created everything, so God did not create sex?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: They think it means we are saying God has a material body, because they associate sex with material body.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Material body has no sex. A dead man does not enjoy sex. Do you think that a dead man enjoys sex? Suppose a beautiful girl-dead. Will you accept for sex? Then why do you take that sex is for the body? (train noises) "Sex if for the material body" is not the fact. When the soul is not there, where is sex?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: They consider sex to be his lower nature, animal nature.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Everything is..., becomes animal nature when it is perverted, when it is contaminated.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: They do not have any conception of the positive.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: They have no conception of pure life. So they think that it's just...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If they have no conception, we should give them conception that the body is dead, decomposed, then where is the sex? Where is the inclination? Similarly, the soul originally... As it is said in the Vedānta-sūtra, that "Everything is coming from Brahman." Athāto brahma jijñāsā: "Now let us talk about Brahman." This is the meaning of athāto brahma-jijñāsāh. Then next verse is..., sūtra, code-janmādy asya yataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). And Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8|BG 10.8]]). So unless sex comes from God... It may be perverted in the material world. That is another thing. But originally, pure sex must be there in God. Otherwise how it comes? Everything is emanating from the Supreme. Janmādy asya yataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). So how you can say there is no sex? Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura explains that janmādy asya, ādi-rasa. Ādi. Ādi-rasa means sex enjoyment. So he has explained that sex has come from... Because we have used perverted sex, we have got a very bad idea. But actually sex is there in the original. Otherwise there is no question of mādhurya-rasa. Hlādinī-śakti. There is no question of sex. You do not understand Absolute. The opposition party will inquire you, but sex is originally from Brahman. That is why...</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: His argument was that when Kṛṣṇa was here, He was having friendship with the gopīs, who were married to other men.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: This is immoral.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: God never acts in an immoral way.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So that you have made, immoral. Because if He is the proprietor, then He is the proprietor of everything. You have accepted one woman who belongs to Kṛṣṇa. You are immoral. He is the original proprietor of everything, and everything belongs to Him, but He has given you one woman. Tena tyaktena. But no woman belongs to you. So you should stop connection with women. It is immoral. Otherwise every woman belongs to Kṛṣṇa. How you can use Kṛṣṇa's property? That is the disease, that we are trying to enjoy Kṛṣṇa's property.</p>
