Guest guest Posted July 5, 2000 Report Share Posted July 5, 2000 My Dear Ratiprada dd, Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thankyou for your question cited below with my answers. I have noted the contents carefully. > respected gurumaharaj, > please accept my humble obiences unto the dust of your > lotus feet. > > > gurumaharaj, i have a question "if an initiated > devotee starts violating one of the four regulative > principles,suppose he has started taking tobacco > along with pan,what would be its consiquences? > how will it effect his spiritual health?" Any breaking of regulative principles for an initiated devotee is an offense and a sinful act. Doing offenses drains out ones spiritual credits. Doing sinful acts opens the door to suffering sinful reactions. Just because one is initiated doesn't protect them from sinful reactions. Lord Nityananda clearly states that initiated devotees must accept the sinful reactions for all sinful acts they do. > yours most insignificant servant > ratiprada devi dasi. > 10.6.2000 I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
