Days following the controversial remarks made by ISKCON monk Amogh Lila Das about Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramhansa, another video of him expressing derogatory views about women and body types has caused widespread outrage on social media. The monk suggests that women should refrain from going to the gym and instead focus on household chores, implying that such tasks are more suitable for them.

These new age Internet clowns have made a mockery of our religion. An organisation like ISKCON founded by Prabhupada Swamy has been hijacked by new age English speaking clowns and are ruining its name everyday.

In the video, Amogh Lila Das said, "Arey behen, agar tu ghar pe phoncha maarti na, kabhi kamar ka kamra nikaltha hi nahi. Ghar hi no.1 gym hota hai ladki k liye (If you do household chores, the belly would never bulge wide. Home is the no.1 gym for females)."
Although the video in question is only a brief excerpt from a longer speech given by the monk, the comments made within it have sparked controversy. Towards the end of the footage, he makes a statement in Bengali, translated as "Women are very beautiful and nice." The context of this remark remains unclear, but it has provoked widespread criticism, with people condemning the monk for his inappropriate comments.
