we are not conservative

Srila Prabhupada objected to being called conservative. He was indignant:
"Conservative? How is that?"

"In respect to sex and drugs," Mukunda suggested.

"Of course, we are conservative in that sense," Prabhupada said. "That
simply means we are following sastra. We cannot depart from Bhagavad-gita.
But conservative we are not. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was so strict that He would
not even look on a woman, but we are accepting everyone into this movement,
regardless of sex, caste, position, or whatever. Everyone is invited to come
chant Hare Krsna. This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's munificence, His liberality.
No, we are not conservative."
