Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 Dear Prabhus.PAMHO.AGTSP. I was in the seminar of the unification church(they try to cooperate with other religions to create peace in the world) and the subject matter of discussion was "Family life and spirituality".They spoke a lot about happy and peaceful family life as basis of worlwide peace;why families are breaking up;family life as not the most important thing in the life but instead of that love of God;about sexual love etc. There were different discussion groups and I was making notes in one of them as well giving some input what our vaisnava philosophy says about particular subject:animalkilling,proper family life etc.I came up with the point that for normal unexploiting family life between man and woman there is a great necessity of character-training in premarried life namely practicing celibacy.The chairman Mr.Kucier liked this idea and came up with the proposal to make a small list of reasons why practice of celibacy is good.This would be given to consideration to other religious groups who would also give their opinion about the subject matter and after that the idea is to give a to give a proposal to schools to teach the importance of celibacy to students. Nowadays there is only education about sex but not about celibacy.This education would hopefully improve the behaviour of young people. I would like to kindly ask you,if you can please help to send me some Biblical quotes or maybe even from other scriptures about benefit and importance of celibate life.But most importantly I would like to have some reasons which are scientific and could be easily understood even by atheistic people.Please make the reasons short,clear and strong.The ultimate list of reasons would be 3-4 pages.Thanks a lot in advance.Hare Krsna.
