Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Srila Prabhupada objected to being called conservative. He was indignant: "Conservative? How is that?" "In respect to sex and drugs," Mukunda suggested. "Of course, we are conservative in that sense," Prabhupada said. "That simply means we are following sastra. We cannot depart from Bhagavad-gita. But conservative we are not. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was so strict that He would not even look on a woman, but we are accepting everyone into this movement, regardless of sex, caste, position, or whatever. Everyone is invited to come chant Hare Krsna. This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's munificence, His liberality. No, we are not conservative." >>> Ref.
