Srila Prabhupada speaks out, even if unpopular

[Guest guest]

So this statement will not be very palatable to the Western girls. They want

independence. In Chicago, when I was there, they talked about independence

of the woman. They asked me question. So I replied, "No, woman cannot be

given independence." So there was a great agitation against me. In many

papers I was very much criticized. But actually it is the fact, because they

are innocent, not so intelligent and... These are all practical. We may

avoid discussing, but Bhagavata is very open for discussing all subject

matter. That is fact. We should not hide anything artificially. We must

discuss the fact.
