Jan > > www.veda.harekrsna.cz > (Bhakti-yoga Vedic Encyclopedia Vedic Library Links) "In any case, when two people unite some way or other, their next demand is a nice apartment (gha) and some land (ketra). Then children (suta). When you have an apartment and a wife, the next requirement is to have children, because without children no home life is pleasant. P™tra-h…naˆ ghaˆ ™nyam: “Home life without children is just like a desert.” Children are the real pleasure of home life. Finally there is the circle of relatives, or society (€pta). And all these paraphernalia have to be maintained with money (vittaiƒ). So money is required." The Journey of Self-Discovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
