Sound civilization rests on Krishna consciousness and righteous principles, not artificial exploitation or modern democracy.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: ...and prostitutes. So... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, it's even mentioned in the Kṛṣṇa book. Prostitutes came out of Dvārakā.
Prabhupāda: Yes. In Calcutta in our childhood I have seen many big, big prostitutes, Vaiṣṇavī. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Really?
Prabhupāda: All, their behavior, their living... Simply they were not married. They were kept by some big men. Otherwise everything was so nice.
Bhakti-cāru: [Transl. Should I prepare some pineapple juice, Śrīla Prabhupāda?]
Prabhupāda: Hmm. There was a big temple of a prostitute in Calcutta, Kach-Kāminī. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Kach...?
Prabhupāda: Kāch-Kāminī. Kāch-Kāminī means the gentleman who kept her, he was a big glass merchant. So the temple was decorated with mirrors and glass, and her name was Kāminī, so Kāch-Kāminī temple. Still there are.
Everyone was Kṛṣṇa conscious, either poor man, retired man or prostitute or gentleman or rich man—everyone. The society itself was Kṛṣṇa conscious. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There wasn't any influence of that Ramakrishna Mission yet?
