<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- February 10, 1976, Mayapura|Morning Walk -- February 10, 1976, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Yes. Gāñjā smoking is not taken as bad in India, by the sādhus, not ordinary men.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Right. He told me, Mr. Das, that it increased his meditation and ecstasy.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Whatever it may be, gāñjā smoking by the sādhus, sannyāsīs, is not taken very bad serious. The hippies learned from them. Allen Ginsberg introduced... "Yes. Gāñjā smoking is very good by the saintly person."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I think your Guru Mahārāja spoke strongly against such persons.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. And from him we learned that intoxication, any kind of intoxication, is bad.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura also was...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He was also not very serious, but Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura was very serious, and we learned from him. No, it is śāstrīya. No intoxication is good.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How is it that Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura was not so strict in that regard, yet his son, who learned from him, became very strict, like a rod?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (chuckles) Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura was so strict (laughs) that because he married twice, he used to say, "strī-saṅgī, attached to woman," even his father. (laughter) He was very strict. Sometimes when he would be angry, he'd, "You strī-saṅgī." And don't discuss this thing. (laughs) He was very strict. No excuse, no compromise.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's where you got all of that from.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: My is imitation, but his was real. (laughs) All these Navadvīpa people were afraid of him.</p>
