| <p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Certainly. That is the first condition to accept one as my disciple, because there are some restriction. I don't allow illicit sex life. I don't allow intoxication. I don't allow meat-eating and gambling. So I build up their character. So naturally my followers are very restricted. (chuckles)</p>

| <p>Interviewer: Well, now, I'd like to go over in some greater detail what the disciples may and may not do. I think that's where... I just wanted to get some of the factual background before we went into that. Now, your, the sexual abstinence does not include marriage, I gather.</p>

| <p>Interviewer: Marriage is allowed.</p>
| | Interviewer: I assume that being an initiated member means that the individual has acquainted himself sufficiently with your teaching and gone through certain disciplines? Is that . . .? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: I say, "illicit sex." Without marriage, sex relation is forbidden.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: I see. Would you say that there were times when, well, that there were marriages which were also illicit?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Certainly. That is the first condition to accept one as my disciple. Because there are some restriction. I don't allow illicit sex life. I don't allow intoxication. I don't allow meat-eating and gambling. So I build up that character. So naturally my followers are very restricted. (chuckles) |
| <p>Prabhupāda: No. Of course, in civilized human society, either in India or in any other country, marriage is considered as sanctified, either in Hindu community or Christian community or Mohammedan community. But apart from that, for spiritual advancement, according to Vedic culture, sex indulgence is always restricted.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: Always restricted. For purposes of procreation only?</p>

| <p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Yes. Sex, sex intercourse, is recommended only for good children. That's all.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: Only to create children.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: No. Marriage allowed. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes, good children.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: Good children. Well, if the parents are good, then there is a remarkable possibility that the children may have a chance to be. Is that not true?</p>
| | Interviewer: Marriage is allowed. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. That is the fact. That is the fact.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: And you said that your followers may not drink? What about the drug picture, marijuana, LSD, and those?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: I say "illicit sex." Without marriage, sex relation is forbidden. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: No, no, we don't... There is no question, because all kinds of intoxication prohibited. We don't allow even smoking and tea-drinking, coffee-taking. You see? Any kind of intoxication we don't allow.</p>
