Srila Prabhupada:

 

 

"Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your letter dated

31/1/73. After conferring with my various GBC representatives I have

concluded that polygamy must be strictly prohibited in our society. "

Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Rupanuga -- Sydney 14 February, 1973

 

 

"Regarding your various questions. First let us understand that

polygamy cannot be permitted in our society."

Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Satsvarupa -- Melbourne 10 February, 1973

 

 

"Please accept my blessings. I have received your letter of

1/24/73 concerning polygamy and feel that this policy must be

strictly prohibited within our society. If it is not it shall

only cause chaos, as what was possible under the system of pure

Vedic Culture is impossible at the present time."

Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Karandhara -- Melbourne 10 February, 1973

However, in the light of the context ("polygamy as oposed to

women hunting"), I am sure Srila Prabhupada would also not

prohibit polygamy. As both you and me know, Srila Prabhupada

would always try to give us the ideal solution. Well, if not

possible, then what's to be done else.
