Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Probably you should be hearing this on the lecture to fully relish it. But still, it is nectar. ys gnd ========= Devotee (1): There were supposed to be some aldermen here, but one of them was a woman and it has been on the news already about what you've said and she doesn't want to come now. Prabhupada: Alderman? Brahmananda: They're like city council men. But in this case it's a city councilwoman. So she has refused to come because the comment... There has been a lot of publicity created. (laughter) So they are speaking on the radio that "The Swamiji has come to solve all the problems by saying that woman is inferior to men." Prabhupada: Yes, that's a fact. (laughter) So what the man says? Harikesa: They are being quiet. They are too afraid to say. Prabhupada: That means they are accepting. When they are quiet... Quiet means... Maunam samyati raksanam. If there is some argument and you remain quiet that means indirectly you accept. Harikesa: They are thinking that if the man were to speak out, then he would not be able to get his sex pleasure. The woman would withhold sex pleasure from the man if he were to speak out. Prabhupada: No, that is not possible. At least in America, I know, they pay man for sex pleasure. Is it not a fact? Eh? Jagadisa: I didn't hear, Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada: Sometimes woman pays man for sex pleasure. Jagadisa: Sometimes, yes. >>> Ref.
