Guest guest Posted January 17, 1999 Report Share Posted January 17, 1999 Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Although in many places in sastra grhasta life is denounced, for instance in Bhagavad-gita 13.10: asaktir anabhisvangah putra-dara-grhadisu (being) without attachment or association with wife,son, home etc. we see in the history of our siksa parampara many great personalities who were married with or without children. For instance (in no particular order); Avaduta Nityananda Mahajana Mahaprabhu Sivananda Sena Bhaktivinode Thakur Arjuna Krsna etc. Also Vedavyasa was the father of Pandu, Dhrtarastra and Vidura, inseminating the wives (Ambika & Ambalika) of his brother Vicitravirya and also the maid (Vidura was dasi-putra) due to incapacity of the latter. So taking for granted these personalities fully understood the conclusion of the Vedas, what arguments do we have for NOT following in their footsteps?
