marriage plan

[Guest guest]

Prabhupada: Sex. Yes. Kim anyat kama-haitukam. Kim anyat kama-haitukam:

"Except sex desire, where is the other cause of creation?" That is atheistic

theory. Kim anyat kama-haitukam. So all of a sudden two opposite parties

become sexually inclined, and by chance there is pregnancy and there is

production. This is their theory. There is no plan. It is like this. Because

they are creating like that, there is no plan. Then why there is...?

Therefore they say, "It is legalized prostitution, marriage. There is no

need of marriage."

 

Pradyumna: Oh.

 

Prabhupada: "Why should we go under legal?"

 

Pradyumna: Why should there be a plan when it comes...

 

Prabhupada: This is... This is their atheistic theory. But our Vedic

civilization is putrarthe kriyate bharya putra-pinda-prayojanam. Prayojanam.

Pinda, pinda-dana, offering pinda by the son, is necessity, punyena narakat

trayate, because the son delivers the forefathers from the hellish condition

of life. There are so many plans, and they say, "Oh, there is no plan."

Ignorance. We say that there is necessity of a putra, or a son. Therefore to

have a son, a wife is necessary. Therefore wife is accepted. This is a plan.
