Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 PAMRO AGTSP! I wish I had some more time to say a few things here. For now I just want to say that I have done a lot of research on Srila Prabhupada quotes before and after getting married because I didn't / don't want to have children and I knew I will have to argue with many on that point. Anyway, I happily found plenty of quotes from Srila Prabhupada encouraging "spiritual family planning" by not having sex with one's wife. Here is a good one: "If the husband and wife can voluntarily restrain by powerful advancement of Krishna Consciousness. That is the best method. It is not necessary that because one has got wife, therefore you must have sex life. The whole scheme is to avoid sex life as far as possible. And if one can avoid it completely then it is a great victory for him. Married life is a sort of license for sex life on condition of raising children. So you should try to understand these principles of married life and use your discretion. " (SPL) (Needless to say, I am not claiming to be free from lust.) So, in general, imho, the best thing for us would be to not judge what is best for others. "But one should not strictly use any contraceptive method and at the same time indulge in sex life. That is very much sinful. " (SPL) More later.... if need be. Hare Krishna. ys, bbd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
