Austerity for Krishna

Jahnava dasi: The next year I took this walk with Purusottam and Jadurani and Srila Prabhupada, and it was snowing. There were a couple of young teenage girls standing across the street and they had on mini skirts and, like I said, it was snowing. So Jadurani and I naturally were glancing across the street, thinking it was very odd for these two young teenage girls to have mini skirts on in the snow, and the teenage girls were looking across the street at Jadurani and I having these saris on. So Srila Prabhupada noted the humor and he said, “You are looking at them, and they are looking at you.” He said, “Their austerity is for sex life, and your austerity is for Krishna.”
