Ritual and Gambling

3 months, 3 weeks ago by AKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

Please accept my humbles obeisances:


Dear Gurudeva, I hope you are on good health, thanks to devotee's Mercy I continue the path of devotional service, chanting the rounds and follow the principles, trying to everytime remember the goal of life, that you've share us. Try to speach just about it with everyone. Thaks for your example of life.


My sister widowed, She and her late husband were participating in pre-Hispanic rituals, as dances and temazcal, I know there are devotees who also participate in those ceremonies, and I would like to know his opinion of such rituals, and if it is correct for the devotees who go.


HpS - I think it depends on the details. Krsna gives Pantheism as the first step in God realization in BG chapter 10, no? Among animals I am the lion. Then the same in SB 2.1.

So, we have to separate some Tamasik things sometimes, and take advantage of their contribution and offer ours. It is preaching. Most people we preach to will not become devotees in this lifetime.


There are also several doubts about raffles, Is it appropriate to be carried out by devotees or involves participating in gambling?


HpS/ASA - I think if we don't pay any money into the process and there is a chance of getting a new Cadillac for Krsna they it is o.k.


I pray for being useful, your simple crew member AniruddhaksnaDas


HpS - Thank you! If you win a Cadillac then drive it around for your Sankirtan for a week then give it to the Temple!


No pictures!
