Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 So Krsna used to go to the pasturing ground, and the gopis at home... They were girls or women. They... Women or girls were not allowed to work. That is the Vedic system. They should keep at home, and they should be given protection by the father, by the husband, or elderly sons. They were not meant for going out. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Lecture -- Seattle, September 30, 1968 So he lost all sadacara. Kanyakubje dvijah kascit. Kascit, kascit means "some are..." Every brahmana was very elevated. One, somebody, kascit. Kascid dasi-patih. And why he fell down? Because he married one maidservant, prostitute. The prostitute class, you will find in the history of India, but they are a class, a low-class woman. Otherwise, in gentleman class or higher class, namely the brahmana, ksatriya, and vaisya, it is not possible to mix freely. That is not possible. They still, in respectable families, the young girls, they are not allowed to go out, not to mix with any... The first young man, this, her husband, when the father-mother selects, then... This is the process. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.21 -- Chicago, July 5, 1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
