This is My Sex Life

Daivisakti-devi dasi: In India, Srila Prabhupada was often invited to attend programs in people's homes. Sometimes these people were very pious and became devotees by such contact with Srila Prabhupada. In some cases they mainly wanted material blessings - health and prosperity - in return for hosting a sadhu and his followers. On one occasion, Srila Prabhupada, along with twenty of his devotees, was sitting in a man's living room while the man introduced each member of his family. "This is my wife," said the man, and the wife came forward, bowing slightly and folding her palms. "And this is my older son, and this is my daughter, and this is my younger son" - each came forward and said his name while Prabhupada nodded genially. "This is the husband of my daughter," the man continued, "and these are their children." Each both quickly appeared and exited. Finally, all the members had been introduced and had departed, momentarily leaving Srila Prabhupada alone in the room with his devotees. In a confidential aside, Prabhupada spoke quietly to his disciples, "This is my sex life."
