perspective on suicide

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva, Please accept my simple obeisances. Many Glories to Srila Prabhupada,


HpS/ASA - 🙂 🙂🙂 🙂



We read about suicide by Chota Hari das Thakur (servant of Mahaprabhu ) and Sati (wife of Lord Siva canto 4). Now as little we know, there was no approval taken from any authority before commencing for this step. Still the consequences were positive.


What are views of ASA on this?


HpS/ASA - We are reminded of this Text: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/19/12/.

Yes, even M. Pariksit asked for approval. Yet, Sati is very special case, she is Durga Devi herself. Later there is story of how she wanted approval of her husband for her activities, but was strong minded and acted independently and there was apparently a bad result. Of course, she could not get approval from her father to commit suicide.

So, normally we should confirm and conviction that we have with Guru, Sadhu and Sastra.

O.K.?


We read one copy of Srila Prabhupada's orginal first canto SB and remember that he was expressing that taking to Bhakti yoga is suicide.

Die to Live!

Sankirtan Report?
