<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation with Devotees -- August 1, 1975, New Orleans|Room Conversation with Devotees -- August 1, 1975, New Orleans]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: That is time for punishment. They should build up their character, śamaḥ, damaḥ, fully controlled. When they like, they become gṛhasthas. Otherwise they are controlled. That is brāhmaṇa. For brāhmaṇa it is not compulsory to marry. Kṣatriyas may marry more than one wife. They can take. So all girls must be married. That is... They must...They must have one husband, even the husband has got fifty wives. Then the problem of girls' marriage will be solved. And as soon as one girl is pregnant, she should be separated.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: From the husband.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: At least for one and half years.</p>
<p>Upendra: At the moment of pregnancy? From the moment of pregnancy one and a half years?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Pregnancy is understood at three months. From that month till further, sixteen months at least, she should not come to be near husband. That is eka-kadi (?). The child does not live. And they are not inclined to come unless a man induces. So the man, if he has got more than one wife, so man will not disturb her. And she will take rest for the next eighteen months. So after ten months she will give birth to the child, and for six months continually she will take care of the child. Feeding the child with breast milk, the child will be healthy. If the child can take mother's milk for six months at least continually, he'll become healthy for life.</p>
<p>Upendra: Where do they send that mother?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Where they'll take care.</p>
<p>Upendra: If the man sends the woman away, where does she...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our aim is not to give help, but not... Generally she goes to the father's house. So you can have separate building for that.</p>
<p>Nityānanda: Are you saying that our men should have more than one wife?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I have no objection.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: That's a difficult proposition.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: It's not allowed in this country. It's illegal. It's against the law.</p>
<p>Devotee: It's against the law.</p>
<p>Nityānanda: No, it's a matter of... No one knows who is married or unmarried, but if you have...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is not very difficult.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Well, the other difficulty, you brought this up several years ago, was that the men who take many wives have to be very select. Otherwise men will be attracted to join our movement for sex life, having different wives.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, unless our men are trained up, why you should allow to stay here and to wife. We want trained up men, not third-class picked-up. We want men who will follow the rules and regulations and fully trained up. Otherwise we don't want. We don't want ordinary karmīs and... And if he agrees to be trained up, then we'll take. Otherwise what is the use of bringing some useless men? He must agree to produce his own food, and work. Our rules and regulations, he must follow. Then it will be ideal community. Otherwise, if you bring from here and there some men and fill up, that is not good thing. This is a training institution, to become devotee.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Everything we do, we don't hide it. We show the world what we're doing. I don't see how we could hide that one man had many different wives.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If you don't call wife, you can have. The law allows you to keep boyfriend, girlfriend. Then the... Instead of calling "husband," call "friend." That's all. But, er, it is risky and the man must be responsible to keep... To keep more than one wife by trained-up man is not disallowed.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda : But I think they thought that he could get it legally established, at least in the state of California.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well then go and marry there. If the state of California allows that, then they all can go to California.</p>
<p>Nityānanda: The general public objects to that... It's very...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Public we don't care. We... What is the public? We have got our own public here. So pub... What is the public? All rascals. They are killing cows and drinking and topless dance, bottomless dance. What is the value of this public? All rascals. I don't give any importance to this class of public, only after sense gratification, that's all. They have no ideals of life. They do not know what is God. What is the value of this public? Mūḍhas, they have been described, mūḍhas. You know the meaning of mūḍha?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Ass.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ass. Mūḍho nābhijānāti mām ebhyaḥ paramaṁ mama.</p>
<p>Nityānanda: The householders on our farm, they should cooperate and produce the food centrally or every householder should produce his own food independently?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Why they are living in a community centrally? Community means work everything for the community.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Some men can cultivate the fields, some men can take care of the cows, some men... They can (indistinct) responsible.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, it is service (?).</p>
