The temple exists for Krishna consciousness alone; family life must remain outside its walls.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: She has come to an impasse in her family life. She doesn’t know what to do. So the situation, I think you are familiar with, that Gaurasundara has been living with this other girl for three years, and Govinda dāsī is under the impression that you’ve sanctioned that Gaurasundara can have two wives.
Prabhupāda: He…, she can imagine anything. What can I do?
Govinda dāsī: Well, he told me that you sanctioned it. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: I said that… Govinda dāsī: Gaurasundara will come back. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: …that you were sympathetic that these young girls had no husbands, but...
Prabhupāda: We have nothing to do with it.
Govinda dāsī: The girl is agreeable to going, to… She doesn’t care, and I just want Gaurasundara to come back.
Prabhupāda: No, we should not enter into this family. Gaurasundara is out of question. These things we should not deal. It is my suggestion that so many girls are without husband, if a husband can maintain three dozen wives I have no objection. Govinda dāsī: He doesn’t maintain me. Prabhupāda: Huh?
Then what can I do? Govinda dāsī: Yes. Prabhupāda: That is your husband. But I say if a person is able to maintain three dozen wives, then I have no objection. Now, if he does not maintain you, then what can I do? That is your situation. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: I think I have told her the same thing. Prabhupāda: Neither it is my business to deal with family life.
