What is Ideal Marriage.

Pamho, AgtSP! Dear Gurudeva.

Answer, what is the Marriage?

After listening and remembering what I've read, I will try to share what I understand about marriage Gurumaharaja .

Marriage is an agreement that two people make to society and families, who along with obligations and rights, with together, they can achieve progress in the spiritual process by putting Sri Krishna in the center and see completed projects that they are planned, family, work preaches and service. It is the stage at which test the tolerance, respect, honesty and loyalty, also the enthusiasm, determination and compassion for the couple.

The basis of all communication is, what one wait to the future short and long term and ensure that both have understood what the couple want, without false expectations that become disappointment. The expression of ideas and desires that everyone has and how that is displayed, it is important; spiritual growth, travel , children, work , etc. . The feeling is important but not the most important construction project, they need to admire the effort of the person in the service of Krishna to eventually develop true love

The word marriage / matris munium from two Latin words : the first " matris " , which means " mother " and the second , " munium ", " assessment or care ," coming to mean " mother care " in therefore considered that the mother was contributing more to training and parenting . Another possible derivation come from " matreum muniens " meaning the idea of ​​defense and protection of the mother , involving man's obligation to the mother of his children . Its very Interesting!

I heard a time in a course of Grihastha Ashram that to be an excellent Grihasta sometimes  first should try to be, at least, excellent Grahamedi , later, I heard the same thing in my class Bhakti Sastri and an assay of Kaunteya das , but everyone knows that the ideal is and always will be what Srila Prabhupada presents. I wonder if it is possible to know what you think on this point Gurudeva .

Plan

For now Prabhu Marco is looking to rent near temple alone or with a devotee, I still live with the devotees near the temple. The short-term plan is that I continue with my studies at university for 2 years more, and he will make service in the temple, and Sankirtan, search refuge in you Gurudeva and during this time the communication continuing in association of devotees.

Like any plan sounds good, but both know that always a beautiful rainbow appears, after big clouds , wind storms and cover the sun , so we hope tribulations but be firm and determined to fight to rescue Mother Sita in team . Guru Maharaj I ask for your blessings and I hope always life after life to follow the instructions of Srila Prabhupada following in their footsteps they are so merciful.

                 HpS - ASA --- Jaya. AGTSP. Paoho. Very nice description. Very heroic effor to write in English. I think you have some ability to write poetry in Spanish. You should develop it.

With Marco you can read the story of the marriage of Kardama and Devahuti in 3rd Canto. Like three chapters. They are example of Grhastha ashrama.

No, "ideal Grhamedhi" IS Grhastha. The result of feeding the fire oil is bigger fire. You are more and more addicted to lusty acts and finally separate in great hate, pain and frustration with NO benefit.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I really like how you are growing roses. When my daughter is older I will teach her to plant flowers as an activity. It's very nice.

    HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho. Yes, it is the greatest "Biology" course. One lady Biologist said that one of her professors, big guy, said that Biology is the Science of Life, but the irony is that nobody kills more life than Biologists.

Recently I came across a blog advocating ethical practices towards animals. Basically this person lists brands of cosmetics and beauty products that are cruelty free. It's more of a beauty blog which is one of my interests- I am a girl after all. Anyways my question is should we as devotees be as vigilent in purchasing and using cruelty free products as non-devotees are?

               HpS - It will come naturally. We see animals as people with emotions, aspirations, devotees. So naturally when we see a chance to reduce their pain we take it up. The difference is that we see it in proper proportion, relieve bodily distress so that one can make spiritual advancement.

It's a similar topic as the cow milk I asked about in the past but I need some more clarification. In many of the lectures you have given, you mention how there are some bizarre details that we can't avoid about living in kali yuga. But if you can say something about this issue please do!!

            HpS - That's all we can comment. There are so many techinical details to be figured out about how to be in the mode of goodness for Krsna. What's possible in Kali-yuga and what is for our false ego, "I am Vegan, I am better more good than them"? I think that you can make pretty intuitive decisions about how much to pursue the different adjustments. One Ayurvedic doctor told me he tells his female clients, "There is no better beauty aid than keep good posture!"

On another note, our family will be making a trip to seattle in August to attend my brother-in-law's wedding. The event is on the 19th. I saw in your calendar that you will be in the area around that time. Will you have dates confirmed soon? We really want to see you this year and don't want to miss the opportunity. 

            HpS - ASA - The Calendar dates linked from the Kapi Dhvaja are correct. Just add Denver en-route to Boise, and Janmastami and Prabhupada in Vancouver. Next day in Bellingham, then Seattle until Friday. Friday in Portland then Saturday off to San Francisco. We will ber very happy to see you all!!

Other than that we are settled in Calgary. My husband got a job at the bank and our daughter Audharya is healthy and teething. My parents are happy to be with their grandaughter. I think she likes them too! 

I wanted to know if we could try out the japa joe program. I'm kind of scared because firstly I don't know how it works and secondly it seems like it's a skype-type thing which is the scary part. 

    ASA - Japa Joe is simple. You go to StartMeeting.com. Then you push the Load Button or whatever it is and it sets up a few simple files on you computer. Then you go to the specific Meeting: 992 055 489. A little control panel will come up and you click on the Green Telephone and mute your microphone and you can hear me or someone else chanting. We share fotos sometimes and have a little Chatting.

Is nice. 

Basically is chance to chant with some association.

Get up early and get your rounds done!!
Your report seems nice. Of course, always inviting people to your home to hear SB!!!!

Hoping you are healthy and happy.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi
