Are you interested to preach Krsna consciousness?

[Guest guest]

Srila Prabhupada had always warned that sex life was the root cause of

material existence. I certainly wanted to avoid entanglement with women, but

it was not easy, especially as in the course of managing I was often forced

to deal with the brahmacarinis. I did not want to be mithyacara, a false

pretender, and in this respect I had approached Prabhupada proposing that

perhaps it would be better for me to get married. But the proposal had not

met with much enthusiasm from Srila Prabhupada, who remained silent as I

made my suggestion. Then with utmost gravity, Prabhupada had very directly

asked, "Are you interested to preach Krsna consciousness?Of course I am,"

was my immediate response. "Then you had better forget this idea," Srila

Prabhupada had replied, and the matter had ended abruptly there. I felt

relieved, thinking that Srila Prabhupada had saved me from a great mistake

which would surely have hindered my preaching.
