'''It is the duty of the male members to be very steady and cautious. This can be done by regular chanting like Haridasa Thakura did'''

<span class="CON-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:Letter to Gargamuni -- Ahmedabad 29 September, 1975|Letter to Gargamuni: -- Ahmedabad 29 September, 1975]]:'''  Regarding the disturbance made by the women devotees, they are also living beings. They also come to Krishna. So consciously I cannot deny them. If our male members, the brahmacaris and the sannyasis, if they become steady in Krishna consciousness, there is no problem. It is the duty of the male members to be very steady and cautious. This can be done by regular chanting like Haridasa Thakura did. Whenever there is a young woman, we should remember Haridasa Thakura and beg his mercy to protect us, and we should think that these beautiful gopis are meant for the enjoyment of Krishna.
It is a dilemma for our Society that we cannot deny these girls, and at the same time they are a great dangerous allurement to the young boys. Yes, as you say, I never think in terms of Indian or American regarding my students. I take you all as part and parcels of Krishna.
