Hare Krsna Maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP....
Thanks for being fixed up in service. We met one devotee whom you had interacted [with] on Whatsapp group and is your acquitance. He does not have a child so we did not pursue talks about illicit sex.
We are having hard time integarting with people around us, including local ISK temple. We are not very sure of our nature, hence went in more to study astrology. To us astrology is great science and tells us us how we are bounded by planets who are reciprocating our Karma.
HpS - Srila Prabhupada accepted that it is a reality. It is like getting information from a doctor about how your particular body works, but hard to do in Kali yuga and ultimately, practically, dependent on Krsna's desire.
I dont have any engagement in regards to local or virtual ISK. So would recommend to study astrology ? though its an ocean and there are lot of ap-sampradya here also. how you think astrology can be used in service of Srila Prabhupada or Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu anyways?
HpS - There is apparently a letter from SP telling the Temple President in New York that he can use astrology for marriage arrangements for the devotees.
We hear Bhanu Swami who does it very well says that really it is only really practical for determining Career, Marriage and Time of Death.
We have just as many problems in ISKCON as an institution as anybody, but we have our personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada by so many media, based upon our little desire to do so.
You are very sincere. Maybe more sincere than we. So ask Prabhupada what to do.
If you have the determination to care for a family, get a PhD, then seems you can work effectively on a morning program: Managala arati (Kirtan), Japa, Bhag. literature, Prasadam. Then your day will be play.
Get a study partner in your area and do the program on line. Is it broadcast from Dehli, Bombay? Do they have groups? Conquer Maya.
Astrology is like using programing for Krsna. No better, no worse. Morning program is the enzyme that makes any program useful.
