The Mysterious Pastimes of Mohini Murti are a series of lectures concerning Mohini-lila given by Tamala Krishna Gosvami during the Fall of 1993 . These lectures cover two chapters of Prabhupada's translation and commentary on the Eight Canto of the Bhagavata Purana. Chapter 9 is (The Lord Incarnates as Mohini-murti) and chapter 12 is (The Mohini-murti Incarnation Bewilders Lord Shiva) . During these lectures, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's discussions of Mohini-lila especially as they relate to gender roles in verse 8.9.9 are analyzed and considered. This includes the notable passage;

• "Thus the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who was pretending to be a woman, warned the demons against putting so much faith in Her, for She had appeared as an attractive woman ultimately to cheat them. Indirectly disclosing the purpose for which She had appeared before them,
  
  
  
  She said to the sons of Kasyapa, "How is this? You were all born of a great rishi, yet you are putting your faith in a woman who is loitering here and there like a prostitute, unprotected by father or husband. Women in general should not be trusted, and what to speak of a woman loitering like a prostitute?" The word kamini is significant in this connection. Women, especially beautiful young women, invoke the dormant lusty desires of a man. Therefore, according to Manu - samhita every woman should be protected, either by her husband, by her father or by her grown sons. Without such protection, a woman will be exploited. Indeed, women like to be exploited by men. As soon as a woman is exploited by a man, she becomes a common prostitute. This is explained by Mohini-murti, the Supreme Personality of Godhead."
