Prabhupada: …Tamala Krsna?
Bali-mardana: He’s here, Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: Now there should be one rule that unless they are husband-wife, man and woman should not worship together.
Pusta Krsna: On the altar.
Prabhupada: Yes. Strictly prohibited.
Tamala Krsna: On the same altar.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Tamala Krsna: Different altars is all right, but not the same altar.
Prabhupada: No, different quarters… They should not go to the…
Pusta Krsna: They should not be brought before the Deities.
Tamala Krsna: Alone.
Hari-sauri: In the kitchen or…
Prabhupada: Man and woman together should not worship unless they are husband and wife.
Tamala Krsna: Never be alone. So just because they are married to someone else, that is not… They must be married to each other.
Prabhupada: No, no, they must be together, the man and the woman. The husband-wife can go, not others.
Tamala Krsna: In most temples that is not the system right now.
Prabhupada: No, that system should be introduced. The husband-wife together can go to worship the Deity. If they are not related as husband, they should not go.
Pusta Krsna: What about a situation like this, where the husband and wife are worshiping but also some other brahmacaris are also worshiping?
Prabhupada: Still, that is some protection. The husband is there. The woman means her husband must be there.
