syphilis and dogs

[Guest guest]

Syphilis. All over Europe. When Dr. Ghosh, who is my friend, he came to see

me in Allahabad? One doctor? So he is friend. He told me that when he was

student, Colonel (indistinct), one big professor, medicine, he was

lecturing. He was Englishman. He said that "In our country, seventy to

eighty percent of the student community, they are suffering from syphilitic

attack." So in our country, in India, if one is attacked with syphilis, then

he is taken as very abominable. His character is not good, it is understood.

So he said, "Horrible," Dr. Ghosh, because he was Indian student. So Colonel

(indistinct) replied, "Why you are saying horrible? In your country ninety

percent people are attacked malaria. So there, syphilis. So as a medical

practitioner why you take this disease as bad or that disease as good? Your

business is to see that there should be no disease. Don't consider in that

way, that `This disease is good, this disease is bad.' " That's nice

explanation. But fifty years ago or hundred years ago syphilitic poison was

very much prevalent. Still it is in Europe and America. And now it is

spreading all over. And in Ayur Veda it is said, phiranga, phiranga.

Phirangi. The Europeans are described in Vedic literatures as phirangi,

their name is phirangi. So this syphilitic disease is mentioned in the Ayur

Veda, the disease brought by the phirangis. And the doctor says that

originally it was spread through dog. The unmarried girls, they keep dog for

sex. You do not know? He knows. You will find very beautiful girl is keeping

very big dog. They are trained to have sex life. And that is cause of

syphilis. The dog is full of syphilitic germs. It is called phiranga in the

Ayur Veda. And one who has got syphilitic germs, his life is doomed. Unless

it is properly treated and cured, so many disease will follow. So many. This

craziness is also due to syphilitic poison, parents.

Sudama: There is a case of a very famous gangster, Al Capone, and others.

They died in the prison house of syphilis of the mind, brain.

Prabhupada: Just see.

Sudama: They went crazy.

Prabhupada: So how much by nature the sex life is condemned in so many ways.

Therefore we say "No illicit sex." It will save you from so many

encumbrances. Sex life is not denied, but this unrestricted sex life is very

very abominable in human society. But they are encouraging unrestricted sex

life. They are distributing tablets, encouraging others to have sex life.

Never mind. Unmarried girls they are keeping dogs. One lady in America, she

told me that the dogs are kept for this purpose. When I was going to walk in

that park in Brooklyn, the young girls are bringing dogs, big, big dogs.
