Guest (3): I'm asking this question. I'm concerned about the perverted caste system in India today. I'm asking this question on a ''brāhmaṇa'', the ''varṇāśrama-dharma ''system. If one of your ''brāhmaṇa ''initiated disciples falls from this platform, leaves the temple and commits offenses, then returns, demanding respect, should he be allowed to keep the sacred thread or should he be engaged in menial service, which never fails to cultivate humility?

Prabhupāda: Well, that is to be judged by the spiritual master. You cannot judge.

Guest (3): Well, I'm asking this because . . .

Prabhupāda: You cannot judge who is following, who is not following. That is not your jurisdiction. Therefore he has accepted a spiritual master. His jurisdiction. He'll do whatever necessary.

Guest (3): Has there been a case of, in past history . . .

Prabhupāda: So that case you cannot judge. The case has to be judged by the spiritual master.

Guest (3): Could you give me an example of a case that has been . . .

Prabhupāda: Just like if somebody has done something wrong he is taken to the court and the judge gives his decision, whether he is criminal or not. The man who has arrested him, he cannot give the decision. It has to be tried by the higher authority. Then the judgment will be. Anything more?

Woman guest (1): Do they have Deity worship in any of the other planets in the material universe? . . . (indistinct) . . . 

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Gurukṛpā: Is there Deity worship on other planets?

Prabhupāda: Yes, every planet.
