Bhāgavata: So then it is looked on as a necessity in the society.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Prostitute is necessity. Otherwise these rascals, they will pollute all the woman. Therefore, for the rascals there must be some provision. Just like opening wine shop. It is not meant for everyone. But there are drunkards. Unless they get drinking, they will create some disturbance.
Bhāgavata: So just like in Dvārakā there was prostitutes, and they were all devotees of Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Yes. There are many devotees, prostitutes.
Bhāgavata: So that was their service, not their service, but that was their work.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bhāgavata: But, still they were devotees of Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is their profession, livelihood, but they are devotees. In Calcutta, there is a big temple. It is called Kāca-Kāminī's temple. Kāca-Kāminī means she was a prostitute, but she was kept by a very big businessman who was dealing in glass, mirrors and all... So he has made a temple for her with glass and mirrors. Therefore it is called kāca. Kāca means glass. Kāca-Kāminī. (break) ...have a dispensary. Dr. Ojha. He thinks in this way people can be saved. That is also necessary, but not as necessary as this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Hare Kṛṣṇa.
