Prabhupāda: At least once in a month you must be shaven-headed. Akṣayānanda: Actually, we usually shave more.
Prabhupāda: Hmm? Akṣayānanda: We usually shave more than once a month. Two weeks. 'Cause after even two weeks it looks a little dirty. Hari-śauri: We can get very good wigs.
Prabhupāda: No, no, there is no need. It is simply... That is also mental concoction. Nowadays, if you go with coat-pant, shaven headed, nobody will criticize you.
It has become a practi... Russians, they used... That Krushchev I have seen. Shaven head.
Prabhupāda: And so many. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: They don't have a śikhā, that's all.
Prabhupāda: Oh? It is practice only. Akṣayānanda: No, it's nice. We shouldn't be afraid to do that.
