I guess there is not much of a use, to follow all this social normes or rules, if one does not actually knows the guiding principle behind all them. In other words, if they are meant to be followed in order to advance in ones spiritual awarenes and consciousnes, and thus please Krsna by ones actions, and by following all this social normes, or just in order to follow something because its a tradition based on something else. I am not against following some traditions or moral codes of a specific society, but since we are discussing here how or what social normes we would like to have in a society of devotees, we should also take into consideration what is our guiding principle behind all that what we would like to establish, and of course the time place and circumstances in which we are living. Just some thoughts of mine. Ys, Harsi das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
