Prabhupāda: You don't eat meat?
Guest (5): Nothing. No drink, no...
Prabhupāda: Ah, very good boy. (break)
Prabhupāda: ...ready to sacrifice your hair?
Guest (5): Well, I had it before.
Guest (2): Not yet. (laughter)
Guest (1): Is it compulsory to have a full consciousness that he must shave his head?
Prabhupāda: No, no. This is formality. But he must be prepared to observe formality also. But if it is very much objectionable, sometimes we excuse.
