Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 according to this verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam we do: "In the Vaikuntha planets the inhabitants fly in their airplanes, accompanied by their wives and consorts, and eternally sing of the character and activities of the Lord, which are always devoid of all inauspicious qualities. While singing the glories of the Lord, they deride even the presence of the blossoming madhavi flowers, which are fragrant and laden with honey."

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 If your swarup is female, you dont get a wife, sorry. But, in reality, one has a full life of eternity, knowledge and bliss in the complete service of the Supreme Lord, a life completely forgotten while entangled in the phantasmagoria (what a word, the best of words, given by my guru maharaja, Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada) of illusioned thinking that WE are the Supreme Lord. In our real life, swarup, we dont have this illusion, but lives of full variegatedness exists. The unfortunate religionists who are theists are wrongly thinking that eternal life means siting around with lambs and lions while gods eyes stare at us, and our only relationship with him is fear of his wrath. The non-theists also accept eternal existance as a bath in electrolyte or chemical x (see powerpuff girl cartoons), just a buzz of light. The spiritual world is made of a substance that cannot be described or defined by mundane language. Whatever is here in this world is a shadow reflection of the reality-based counterpart in Vaikunthaloka. Relationships, economies, governments, etc, are polluted in this realm of illusion, but exist in pure forms related to full rememberance of swarup in Vaikunthaloka. So, yeah, you may have a wife or husband in Vaikuntha, but such a spouse has no recognizable definition in mundane terms (thank god). No polluted bickering, just purified bickering. No polluted jealousies, just pure jealousies. Hare Krsna, ys, mahaksadasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulapavana Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 So, yeah, you may have a wife or husband in Vaikuntha, but such a spouse has no recognizable definition in mundane terms (thank god). No polluted bickering, just purified bickering.
