A gosvāmī, or the bona fide representative of Śrī Vyāsadeva, must be free from all kinds of vices. The four major vices of Kali-yuga are
(1) illicit connection with women,
(2) animal slaughter,
(3) intoxication,
(4) speculative gambling of all sorts.
A gosvāmī must be free from all these vices before he can dare sit on the vyāsāsana.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1.6
