Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hare Krishna ! A married woman should sincerely perform her domestic duties as a service to Bhagavan Sri Krishna . It is easy for her to chant Bhagavan's names even during her routine works ,which will qualify her ( by removing the dirt of past-karma) to receive Bhagavan's grace . Such a Bhaktha can influence her husband and children to make them better servants of Krishna . By doing so , the network of Krishna-bhaktas will increase . In Bhagavatam , the Twenty-third Chapter of Canto-10 describes how the cowherd boys, being very hungry, followed Sree Krishna's directions by begging some food for Him and themselves from Brahmanas engaged in performing `yajnas' . The Brahmanas refused to give food to Bhagavan Krishna , Balarama and their friends , although the cowherd boys begged for it, but the Krishna-bhakta wives of the Brahmanas rushed with food to Bhagavan . , and therefore Krishna bestowed His mercy upon them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Namaskar KrishnaDaya, Thank you very much for your response.Your statement that " Bhagavan is fully aware that , such a lady can not avail the continuous guidance of a Guru . So , Bhagavan will ensure that she gets proper guidance from sources of His choice . " moved me to tears literally. Thanks once again for correct guidance.
