The pressure so-called brahmacaris feel is not from the ledies, but their own pressure. Otherwise, they wouldn't go to the prostitutes, have homosexual relationships or masturbate.( Please forgive me for this word, but this is what is going on. I am really sorry to have to write this.) This is going-on in ISKCON brahmacari ashramas on the daily basis (specificaly in India). Mayapur male beings (the souls in the orrange clothes) are the most disturbed men I have ever seen in my life. I don't say that all the brahmacaris are like that, but many are. All glories to those who are distributing SP books and are able to keep their vows, but we also have to accept the truth. Yes, I agree that brahmacaris should stay brahmacaris, but you have to know also that only 1%, or maybe even less, of those who are wearing orrange are really brahmacaris. < If there are no unmarried devotee men in the congregation then the ladies who obviously want devotee > husbands see the temple brahmacaries as their only hope. If the marriages > are fixed within the congregation itself then the brahmacaries are free to > concentrate on selling Prabhupada's books. > Selling books for how long? And then when they are not able to sell books anymore, what happens then? When they want to get married and all the women are married to the congregational members, and the temple managment tells them that they can't maintain them any longer, specificaly if they want to get married, what happens then? What happens when after 10 or 15 years of book distribution they can't do it anymore, they have no any income, all the money they collected went for maintaining the buildings (in which they can't live anymore, because now they have to pay if they want to use them) and some of the money went for the sannyasis who made their own houses and many of them meanwhile got married. The temple managers also got married, (they are not fools, they understood what is going on), despite of preaching to poor brahmacaris that perfection of life is pure renounciation and book distribution. And when TP's get married they don't get married to a congregational member, they choose the best one they can get. PRABHU YOU ARE GREEN! Lets see what you are going to tell us in 10 years. Ys.

So what in God's name are these so-called renounced vanaprastha ISKCON ladies clamouring about? Kusa Mata are you there? What is it that you want? Would you be satisfied running your own asrama or do you want a co-ed asrama arrangement? ys. JMd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
