Devotee (3): How can one rid oneself of sex desire if one continues to chant, continuously chant Hare Krsna, and is still being plagued by desire for sex?
Prabhupada: If you chant Hare Krsna seriously… The examples are there. Therefore Haridasa Thakura, he was chanting Hare Krsna, and some envious person engaged some very beautiful prostitute to drag him. But she failed. Chanting of Hare Krsna is so strong. At mid of night beautiful prostitute, young, she went to entice him. But Haridasa Thakura said, “That’s all right.
Your proposal is very nice. Please sit down. Let me finish my rounds.” [laughter] So she sat down, and morning…, there was morning. So Haridasa Thakura said, “My dear girl, I am very sorry. I could not finish. So this night we shall finish.” In this way, after three nights, the prostitute fell down on his feets, “Sir, I came with this purpose. I was induced by such-and-such person. So I am offender. Please excuse me and give me your favor.” So Haridasa said, “Yes, I knew that. But because you came to me, I wanted to do something good for you. And therefore I stayed here for three nights just to convert you. Now you are so lucky. So whatever you have got, you distribute it to the brahmanas, and you take one cloth and sit down here before the tulasi tree and chant Hare Krsna, that’s all.”
