This illicit sex, even with wife... If sex life is indulged after the period

of menstruation, that is also illicit sex. There are so many rules and

regulations about sex life in Vedic culture. That is real use of sex life.

In the Bhagavad-gétä, sex life, He says that dharmäviruddhaù kämo ’smi. “Sex

life which is under regulative principle of the Vedic knowledge,” Kåñëa

says, “I am that sex life. I am that sex life.” And beyond that, that is

illicit sex life. And yesterday I was reading that dharma... When there is

irreligious sex, then it increases varna sankara, unwanted population. So

the modern civilization, they’re letting loose the women for prostitution,

and they want nice children. That is not possible.

 

Nitäi: In Los Angeles, you were saying about the system of monogamy, how in

this way most of the women are left unmarried.

Prabhupäda: Yes. That is prostitution. If a man... First of all, the problem

is... That they do not know, that they should produce sufficient food

grains. These, all these contraceptive methods, this and that, monogamy,

they are trying for checking population. Is it not?

Puñöa-kåñëa: Yes.

Prabhupäda: The basic principle is to check population. Now, if they follow

the Vedic principles, automatically the population is checked. Just like

brahmacäré. So if the, both the boys and girls remain brahmacäré, then where

is the unwanted population? Where is the question of this contraceptive

method?

Nitäi: No need.

Prabhupäda: No need. Then when the brahmacäré is allowed to become gåhastha,

he can keep more than one wife if he’s able to provide them nicely. Here

they marry today and tomorrow divorce. The... No meaning of marriage. Simply

prostitution. Because he does not need a wife. His sex life is satisfied in

so many ways. So why he should be affected, attached to wife? And why the

wife should be attached to the husband? Therefore divorce. It is stated in

the Çrémad-Bhägavatam, Dam-patye ratim eva hi. In the Kali-yuga, married

life means sex life. For sex satisfaction, they’ll marry. Otherwise, there

is no need of marrying. That is... Svékära eva codvähe. Marriage means that

they, both of them agree that “We shall live together for some time.” These

things are happening, already foretold. By agreement, “Yes, we shall live

together.” That is marriage. “And then I may divorce.” Actually, they do not

know what is the meaning of marriage. All dependent on sex. Rati. Rati

means... Dam-patye ratim eva hi. Vipratve sütram eva hi: “To become brähmaëa

means just have a thread only.”
