And some boys want to remain brahmacārī. So naturally there's fewer men for women.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And those who are able, you can keep more than one wife. Just see Kṛṣṇa-sixteen thousand wives. God. That is God. Come on, if there is anyone to compete. Sixteen thousand palaces, sixteen thousands wives, each wife, ten sons. That is God.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No one is equal to or greater than Him.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All queens are happy. Whatever she desires from husband... Satyabhāmā... And Kṛṣṇa went to the heaven and brought the pārijāta flower to satisfy. This is husband. Wife has asked for something: "All right."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He even had to fight.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. That is husband's duty. She has dedicated her everything to the husband, and husband must see that she is comfortable. This is husband. She must have children, she must have good house, good eating, good clothing, good ornament. Then she is satisfied. They want these things. A woman does not mind very much, "My husband has got more than one wife." If she gets all the comforts of her wishes, some children and some comforts, then she is... She does not grudge because woman knows man's psychology. A man is not satisfied with one woman. So he must be given that. But she must be chaste. She cannot have more than... Then their relation is all right. If the woman allows husband—"He likes. Let him have more than one woman, but I must be chaste"—this... Our civilization is nowhere, Vedic culture.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In the villages in India, is this still going on sometimes. We see in the cities it's not, but in the villages, do they still have more than one wife?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Not poor man. Kṣatriyas.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, not these...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Not these workers.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They cannot maintain.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, that's right. They don't have the land to maintain. You have to have land.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You can have more than one wife, but maintain them just like wife. She may not have any complaints that "My husband cannot maintain me."</p>
<p>Śatadhanya: (entering) All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Close that door. How are you?</p>
<p>Śatadhanya: Feeling much better. (break)</p>
