SP Knows how to behave in different circumstances.

Before going to the West, Srila Prabhupada rigidly didn't talk to any ladies. Only after coming back from the West in his role as gurudeva did he instruct them. When he came back to India in 1971 with new disciples, including his young girl students, he again treated me like a little sister. He was again kind and affectionate and helped me and allowed me to personally do service. He asked me to teach his lady disciples because Westerners don't know the culture and they were all dancing together at arati in the dharmasala.

He said, "Please teach them how to behave properly." They were all staying at Saraf Bhavan, and the Maharaja of that place respected Prabhupada very much. So I spoke to the girls and they were all good and tried to follow as well as they could at that time.
