So they can have their sex life and family life?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If they can pay for prasādam also, it is nice. Sex... Husband-wife living, there must be sex, so who can...?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So how can that be in the same building as the brahmacārī ashram?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, no, so many other gṛhastha tenants.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's in, like, Hare Kṛṣṇa Land in Bombay. But supposing in a...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That you cannot check. Gṛhastha means they must have sex. But they're living independent, separately.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, that's in Hare Kṛṣṇa Land.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, anywhere. If they are doing independent business, let them do that.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So in the New York...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Karmīs' concession, sex.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In the New York they can live families together? In that building, families can live together and have sex life?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is wrong?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In that building. It's all right?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Why not? In a building there are so many different types of men. In a big building, apartment building, you cannot expect all of them of the same class.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hm. 'Cause in Bombay you had said that is was better that in an immediate building of the temple they should not live together with wife. They should live separately.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, that is, they are not doing business. They are attached to temple activities. Anyway, these things have to be adjusted. You cannot follow very rigid in case of gṛhasthas. Some way or other, you have to adjust. We cannot allow them to be lost.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. That's clear.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Better allow them to live together. What can be done? But we cannot lose them. After training so much, if they are lost, then that is a great loss. This I am giving hint. Now you GBC, you change them. Make process.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah. Right now in our Society throughout the world, wherever there are gṛhasthas living in our temples, they live separate from their wives. And if they want to live with their wives, then they get a room or an apartment near the temple.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So may be like that, but must be attached to the temple.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, that's the clear point. We should not lose anyone.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, that's a great loss.</p>
