Story 42 Vastrana-lila
1
00:00.202 --> 00:03.079
PRABHUPĀDA: …being trained
up how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa.
2
00:03.080 --> 00:05.487
That is Kṛṣṇa
consciousness movement.
3
00:05.488 --> 00:11.464
Don’t do anything for your
personal sense gratification.
4
00:11.465 --> 00:16.939
Do everything for Kṛṣṇa’s
sense gratification.
5
00:16.940 --> 00:22.746
Just like the gopīs, they
used to go to Kṛṣṇa.
6
00:22.747 --> 00:29.549
These gopīs, they were married,
because in India twelve years,
7
00:29.550 --> 00:34.490
thirteen years girls
are married still.
8
00:34.491 --> 00:37.781
I’ve told many incidences.
9
00:37.782 --> 00:43.420
So from childhood they
are friends, small children,
10
00:43.421 --> 00:47.583
but the girls are married early,
11
00:47.584 --> 00:53.593
so they go to their husband’s
place, thirteen, fourteen years.
12
00:53.594 --> 00:56.126
But, because they had…
13
00:56.127 --> 01:02.576
They prayed to Kātyāyanī
when they’re not married,
14
01:02.577 --> 01:09.206
they prayed to Kātyāyanī
that “Kṛṣṇa is so beautiful.
15
01:09.207 --> 01:13.828
Please give me Kṛṣṇa
as my husband.”
16
01:13.829 --> 01:24.869
Kṛṣṇa is all-attractive, so Kṛṣṇa fulfilled
their desire, and that is vastrāṇām.
17
01:24.870 --> 01:28.357
Of course, these things are
not [to be] publicly discussed,
18
01:28.358 --> 01:33.795
but still you are little
interested in Kṛṣṇa.
19
01:33.796 --> 01:38.576
So all the gopīs, girls,
before their marriage,
20
01:38.577 --> 01:47.083
they prayed to Kātyāyanī that “You
give me Kṛṣṇa as my husband.”
21
01:47.084 --> 01:51.981
So, Kṛṣṇa…, it is not
possible socially,
22
01:51.982 --> 02:00.513
but Kṛṣṇa made such a plan that He
accepted every one of them as His wife.
23
02:00.514 --> 02:03.766
That is vastrana-līlā.
24
02:03.767 --> 02:05.543
Vastrana-līlā.
25
02:05.544 --> 02:11.024
The girls were taking
bath in the Yamunā,
26
02:11.025 --> 02:15.375
keeping their clothing,
garments, on the shore.
27
02:15.376 --> 02:19.991
Still in India, especially in Punjab,
28
02:19.992 --> 02:24.947
the practice is that where
the women take bath,
29
02:24.948 --> 02:26.766
strictly no man can go there,
30
02:26.767 --> 02:33.955
because they put their clothings on the
shore and they dip into the water naked.
31
02:33.956 --> 02:44.333
So, this was being done, and Kṛṣṇa took
their clothings and got up on the tree.
32
02:44.334 --> 02:50.822
So, they begged Kṛṣṇa, their
friend, “Kṛṣṇa, this is very bad.
33
02:50.823 --> 02:53.249
Why You have taken our…?”
34
02:53.250 --> 03:03.089
“No, you beg the clothes with
folded hands, then I shall give you.”
35
03:03.090 --> 03:09.233
So, you have read this
story, you do not require…
36
03:09.234 --> 03:14.947
But the idea is that “You wanted
Me, all of you, as your husband.
37
03:14.948 --> 03:16.963
Now I’m fulfilling your desire.
38
03:16.964 --> 03:19.586
I’m seeing you naked.”
39
03:19.587 --> 03:26.425
Because a woman can be
naked only before the husband.
40
03:26.426 --> 03:28.951
No one else.
41
03:28.952 --> 03:31.590
This is chastity.
42
03:31.591 --> 03:36.528
A woman cannot be naked anywhere;
just like in the club, naked dance.
43
03:36.529 --> 03:45.961
This is most abominable.
44
03:45.962 --> 03:45.963
