<< 2. How did Prabhupada translate service opportunities for women? >>
Prabhupada transplanted an entire culture from one age and milieu to a different age and milieu. While he left the message of that culture intact, he also had to make the culture practical and appealing to young people who had no orientation to that culture, who had for the most part rejected the cultural values of their own society, and who had accustomed themselves to drugs and promiscuity.
Although shockingly contrary to the mood of the day, from the beginning Srila Prabhupada encouraged his students to get married and be responsible. Prabhupada’s followers accepted his directives because they were convinced that by doing so they could progress spiritually.
