ASA(e), VAD, Sexual Impuses


Hare Krishna, Maharaja. 

Pamho. 

One practical question: 

What do I do when there's strong sensual impulse? 

I can't get married and accept family life for occasional urges when I know family life involves many incumbrances. 

What do you suggest Maharaja? 

When should a Brahmachari decide to marry? 

Please reply in your leisure, Maharaj. 

Thank you. 

Dandvats at your feet. 

Your servant

'Victory comes from good advice

And good advice comes from

Many counselors.'

-Chanakya Pandita


Of course, when Srila Prabhupada gives advice it is advice of many good counselors, perfect energy or the Parampara!


We can identify ourselves as M'adhikari but by your association inspired to do better. So please accept any advice that we offer as part of the community of advisors that you have.


We are all individuals, so we need individual advice about how to serve Krsna best. For that there are 18,000 verses and so many storys in the SB etc.


One basic perspective we see is Kardama and Devahuti. He may have wanted to stay B'cari, but Lord said that was best for him to get married. Go through the experience one more time with utasahan... and finish his attachment. Maybe as B'cari it would have taken 3-lifetimes. We don't have to give up ANY of our attachemt to Krsna by entering G'hasta ashrama. Proper wife will feel the same way. She does NOT want a husband who loves her expect as a servant of Krsna. Of course our love is mixed so Vaidhi Bhakti, DVAD, is the fastest way to get that purification.


That is about all I can say from this distance.

Talk with people who know your details and then make detailed decisions. Eg. Oh, we see that you are a Ksatriya so of course you should get married to a like minded lady and increase your service experience your desires and then be finished with them.


SB 1.17.39 Says that boys should be married by 25 years old (or go into Sannyasa Ashrama). Of course, can also go directly into Vanaprastha ashrama like Vaisesika and Vira-bahu Prabhus.


To deal with immediate strong agitation, take to immediate strong Japa, Kirtan, Sankirtan.


Hare Krsna! Hare Rama

Gauranga! Gauranga!

Wash your clothes, practical physical service. Eat Havisanna. Hear the KRSNA book with our B'caris. Aspire to Sannyasa is the best way possible, always increasing your mystic powers to service Krsna according to you Siddha svarupa.
