Question: Is it appropriate for ISKCON devotees to charge money from audience by teaching Krsna consciousness philosophy and kirtana, and maintain their household life from that income. I am asking this because usually we do everything free in the temple but when some new people meet devotees, who charge money for teaching Krsna consciousness philosophy and kirtan, the new people get confused thinking that maybe they are going after money.

Jayapataka Swami: Generally, we give classes in the temple free of charge. I am trying to think. Sometimes like for instance in Vrndavana or Mayapur, they teach Bhakti Sastri or Bhakti Vaibhava. So they charge something. But you take the course and it is understood...
