Esteemed Mataji, Paoho!    AgtSP!!!!!!   Thank you for the letter.  We read it yesterday with Candramukhi and Patraka Prabhus just before we left for Chiclayo.  What is your experience of the book distribution during December?   Your life seems to be pretty good.  You need association of ladies like Candra-mukhi and others who are single now.

Yes, Prabhupada's suggestion is that it is nice for ladies to be married.  That can even mean Vanaprastha from the very beginning, but there is some gross form to meditate on and help organize the mind.

However, Krita-karma Das explained to me that Prabhupada also gave a very, very nice deity of Krsna to mothe Salavati and told her, "You are too old to get married (smiling), so you should marry Krsna!".   She was very pleased and took Prabhupada's offer and married Krsna, and it seems that Krsna also married her.

 Nice deal, huh?

 Srimati Rukmini gives some nice idea about all of this: http://vedabase.net/sb/10/60/45/en

 In general, since we are Sannyasis we cannot help much in this perspective in detail.  For that you should look for Ashrama gurus, other single ladys, nice Grhasthas, to give you advice and help. In general it is Kali yuga so arranging these Varna-ashrama things is not easy, in general if our marriage is 80% O.K. then don't try to improve it. That's about the best we can hope for in Kali-yuga, according to our contemplation.  And usually it is not 80%. So we take shelter of nice devotee association and the Holy Names to compensate for the 20-100% lack of nice Ashrama situation in Kali-yuga.

O.K?

Pray to Krsna, try to find nice situation but enjoy what Krsna offers you as the best position to satisfy His desires!

Please use the blog in the Kapi Dhvaja, you can bring up points like these in general and then everyone can get our opinion good or bad.

PLEASE also send your annual report to: [email protected] if you have not already!

Thank you!!!
