Story 42 Vastrana-lila
1
00:00:00,202 --> 00:00:03,079
PRABHUPĀDA: …being trained
up how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa.
2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,487
That is Kṛṣṇa
consciousness movement.
3
00:00:05,488 --> 00:00:11,464
Don’t do anything for your
personal sense gratification.
4
00:00:11,465 --> 00:00:16,939
Do everything for Kṛṣṇa’s
sense gratification.
5
00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:22,746
Just like the gopīs, they
used to go to Kṛṣṇa.
6
00:00:22,747 --> 00:00:29,549
These gopīs, they were married,
because in India twelve years,
7
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:34,490
thirteen years girls
are married still.
8
00:00:34,491 --> 00:00:37,781
I’ve told many incidences.
9
00:00:37,782 --> 00:00:43,420
So from childhood they
are friends, small children,
10
00:00:43,421 --> 00:00:47,583
but the girls are married early,
11
00:00:47,584 --> 00:00:53,593
so they go to their husband’s
place, thirteen, fourteen years.
12
00:00:53,594 --> 00:00:56,126
But, because they had…
13
00:00:56,127 --> 00:01:02,576
They prayed to Kātyāyanī
when they’re not married,
14
00:01:02,577 --> 00:01:09,206
they prayed to Kātyāyanī
that “Kṛṣṇa is so beautiful.
15
00:01:09,207 --> 00:01:13,828
Please give me Kṛṣṇa
as my husband.”
16
00:01:13,829 --> 00:01:24,869
Kṛṣṇa is all-attractive, so Kṛṣṇa fulfilled
their desire, and that is vastrāṇām.
17
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:28,357
Of course, these things are
not [to be] publicly discussed,
18
00:01:28,358 --> 00:01:33,795
but still you are little
interested in Kṛṣṇa.
19
00:01:33,796 --> 00:01:38,576
So all the gopīs, girls,
before their marriage,
20
00:01:38,577 --> 00:01:47,083
they prayed to Kātyāyanī that “You
give me Kṛṣṇa as my husband.”
21
00:01:47,084 --> 00:01:51,981
So, Kṛṣṇa…, it is not
possible socially,
22
00:01:51,982 --> 00:02:00,513
but Kṛṣṇa made such a plan that He
accepted every one of them as His wife.
23
00:02:00,514 --> 00:02:03,766
That is vastrana-līlā.
24
00:02:03,767 --> 00:02:05,543
Vastrana-līlā.
25
00:02:05,544 --> 00:02:11,024
The girls were taking
bath in the Yamunā,
26
00:02:11,025 --> 00:02:15,375
keeping their clothing,
garments, on the shore.
27
00:02:15,376 --> 00:02:19,991
Still in India, especially in Punjab,
28
00:02:19,992 --> 00:02:24,947
the practice is that where
the women take bath,
29
00:02:24,948 --> 00:02:26,766
strictly no man can go there,
30
00:02:26,767 --> 00:02:33,955
because they put their clothings on the
shore and they dip into the water naked.
31
00:02:33,956 --> 00:02:44,333
So, this was being done, and Kṛṣṇa took
their clothings and got up on the tree.
32
00:02:44,334 --> 00:02:50,822
So, they begged Kṛṣṇa, their
friend, “Kṛṣṇa, this is very bad.
33
00:02:50,823 --> 00:02:53,249
Why You have taken our…?”
34
00:02:53,250 --> 00:03:03,089
“No, you beg the clothes with
folded hands, then I shall give you.”
35
00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:09,233
So, you have read this
story, you do not require…
36
00:03:09,234 --> 00:03:14,947
But the idea is that “You wanted
Me, all of you, as your husband.
37
00:03:14,948 --> 00:03:16,963
Now I’m fulfilling your desire.
38
00:03:16,964 --> 00:03:19,586
I’m seeing you naked.”
39
00:03:19,587 --> 00:03:26,425
Because a woman can be
naked only before the husband.
40
00:03:26,426 --> 00:03:28,951
No one else.
41
00:03:28,952 --> 00:03:31,590
This is chastity.
42
00:03:31,591 --> 00:03:36,528
A woman cannot be naked anywhere;
just like in the club, naked dance.
43
00:03:36,529 --> 00:03:45,961
This is most abominable.
44
00:03:45,962 --> 00:03:45,963
