Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Did you want us to use that room? The room in which the bank is?
Jagadīśa: Oh yes. You mean about the rent?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jagadīśa: Yes, he said 250.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Find out that letter.
Hari-śauri: There's a reply to it too.
Prabhupāda: Where is the letter?
Hari-śauri: He says there's going to be women coming...
Prabhupāda: But there is no instruction. For women there is no such thing.
Hari-śauri: No women on the course.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No women?
Prabhupāda: That is bogus, another bogus.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: That's bogus. But we have a lot of women who are coming to India for yoga. Half... The traffic is half men, half women.
Prabhupāda: Women cannot do it.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: And a lot of the tourists who come, they are husband, wife and all together. Why don't we let them wear normal dress but have men and women in the same class.
Hari-śauri: We could... It's just a suggestion, but what about if you have...
Prabhupāda: Normal dress, that is standard.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Or yoga pants. They can have pajamas and kurtās.
Hari-śauri: A separate woman's class? But that means, yes. That means you have to have women teachers.
Prabhupāda: These are artificial things.
Hari-śauri: Mixed class, but...
Prabhupāda: For woman there is no...
Jagadīśa: I think we should avoid women altogether. Avoid women altogether?
Prabhupāda: Women, it is only possible in our Vaiṣṇava bhakti-yoga—women and men can be given equal right. There is no other system.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: They can wear a normal dress.
Hari-śauri: If they wear those big robes... Sometimes I see... It's a one-piece thing. It comes down to their ankles. If they wear something like that, it's all right.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Because they want to do something different. They want to see different things. If we give them a pajama and kurtā, we'll still make them do bhakti-yoga, but it's...
Prabhupāda: Bhakti-yoga, chanting, dancing there will be. They can join.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, but...
Prabhupāda: But they cannot practice. They cannot sit down like this, the women. They'll be tired. This is real practice.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: I think even the men...
Prabhupāda: Yogāsana. Yogāsana, dhyāna, dhāraṇā, āsana.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: That's so then we can show them, "See this yoga is...," because it appears a little difficult, it is the best form of yoga. It's not something easy that you can just do in one second.
Jagadīśa: So what's the conclusion?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: They will sit together.
Jagadīśa: So he says... He thinks the conclusion is that the women will be in the class.
Prabhupāda: There, but in plain dress. Yes, man must be there.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Plain dress or if they wear dresses, they can have pant-kurtā pajamas.
Prabhupāda: Why pant?
Hari-śauri: They can wear a long robe. That's better, like one of those complete robes.
Prabhupāda: Yes, long robe.
Hari-śauri: Rajneesh people wear them.
Prabhupāda: These Hare Kṛṣṇa nāmāvali robe.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, very good idea. We can make Hare Kṛṣṇa...
Hari-śauri: Out of a nāmāvali, yeah. Nāma cādara. Hari-nāma cādara.
Prabhupāda: You can have some robe...
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, we can have...
Prabhupāda: ...some covering.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, this will be very good. This will really make us look different from others. We're giving kuśa grass, linen, and robe, beads...
Prabhupāda: And they will understand that they are actually doing something.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. And they will see, because these karmīs, they look for these tangible differences.
Prabhupāda: At least twice taking bath and then chanting, dancing and so on.
Hari-śauri: Yes. They're coming for some... Just to...
Prabhupāda: They want something. So this is the bona fide method.
Jagadīśa: Are you having tours where they'll go to Rādhā-kuṇḍa?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. That is during the rest of the time.
Hari-śauri: There's a very nice thing about this program, is that you can guarantee everyone who comes is going to be interested.
Prabhupāda: So I have given to you three. Now you jointly do immediately. The artist is there. Get painting. That's... That's all right.
Hari-śauri: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda. (end)
