Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Vaiṣṇavas in general in Vṛndāvana, are they lamenting for the physical upkeep?

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Are the Vaiṣṇavas in general lamenting for the physical upkeep of Vṛndāvana, or are they indifferent?

Prabhupāda: No, it is the business of the government. Vaiṣṇava can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'' anywhere. He doesn't require any nice park. ''Ahaituky apratihatā''. For becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, for a serious person, there is no obstacle. Any condition he can do it. (break)  . . .why there is ''sannyāsī''? In the Vedic civilization, ultimately ''sannyāsa''. Why? That one must give up the intimate relationship with wife. This is the ultimate position. ''Brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha, sannyāsa''.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: ''Tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgī-saṅgam'' ([[vanisource:SB 5.5.2|SB 5.5.2]]).

Prabhupāda: That is recommended everywhere. Illicit or legal. Mahāprabhu has said, ''asat eka strī-saṅgī'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 22.87|CC Madhya 22.87]]): "Anyone who is attached to woman, he is ''asat''." ''Bās''. This is the whole process, how to become detached from the attraction of woman. ''Dhīra''. (break) Give up the connection with woman is recommended. So in our Society it will be a good test. We are mixed up with men and women. If you, in spite of this allurement, if you do not become attracted by woman, then you should know you are ''paramahaṁsa''. (laughter) Yes. You are worshipable. And this ''Bhāgavata-dharma'' is meant for the ''paramahaṁsas''. ''Paramo nirmatsarāṇām'' ([[vanisource:SB 1.1.2|SB 1.1.2]]). That is . . . It is especially. ''Dharmaḥ projjhita''. The other different types of regulated system, to become very religious man or to become very expert money-hunter or accumulation of money, ''dharma, artha'', and enjoying sense enjoyment—the whole world is appreciating these men: who is irreligious man, who is very much able to satisfy his senses, dozens of cars and three dozen women, naked dance. They are taking this. ''Dharma artha kāma''. And somebody is trying ''mokṣa'', being baffled or dissatisfied: "These things will not . . . I shall become one with." So ''dharma artha kāma mokṣa'' ([[vanisource:SB 4.8.41]], [[vanisource:CC Adi 1.90]]). So ''Bhāgavata'' says, "These are all kicked out," ''paramo nirmatsarāṇām'' ([[vanisource:SB 1.1.2|SB 1.1.2]]), for the ''paramahaṁsas''. So anyone who is freed from all these allurement, he is ''paramahaṁsa''. And this ''paramahaṁsa-saṁhitā'', it is called, ''Bhāgavata . . . Paramahaṁsa-saṁhitā. Bhāṣyaṁ brahma-sūtrāṇām''.
