I know he says that one should try to lead a brahmacharya life. But now a days brahmacharya means only abstaining from sex just like Yoga means people think yoga Asanas only where as it is just one among the Patajalies ashthAnga yoga suthras. A brahmachAri is one who try's to win over " kama, krodha,moha,lobha, madha,matsara " . and notice kAma is just one among the six and just abstaining from that and still having the rest five will be of no use. I personally feel we should never consider sex as impure. If we see our Rishis every one of them were married and son is a prerequisite for mOksha. But in there case wive's were also following the spiritual path. So you should make sure whether the girl will really value your spiritual ideas and help in your journey. Even Sri Ramakrishna has said, there is nothing wrong in marrying but we should have sex only for progeny not for mental pleasure. I hope this helps. sarvam vAsudevamayam jagath Prashanth Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Messenger http://phonecard./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Amma Aarthi, Do not lose hope! AA Swamy margam edo untundi. Pray to HIM as you do everday. HE HAS HIS WAYS TO HELP AND TAKE CARE OF HIS CHILDREN. YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW WHEN OR HOW. HIS HELPING HAND COMES IN A MOST UNKNOWN WAY! SO SUDDENLY. If I may suggest: Sometimes it maybe best to get out of the place, and either try going to India, or try in Australia. I have known people that worked here, and lost jobs because of lay-offs, who were here in US with families, who left their vehicles in some parking lots and left for India for good. Home country would never say no. It may be better to try in India than suffering in England. It is not worth suffering in England, out of place, out of home country. Manjula raasvihaari <raasvihaari ******** Dear Aarathi: I am touched to know of your plight in a far away land. However, please do the Art of Living Basic Course and the Art of Living family will take care of your lives. Please visit the web site http://artofliving.org/ and do the Basic Course. You might be wondering whether I am out of my mind to suggest to a person to do a course instead of offering financial or material help. Let me assure you that your present difficult situation will go away and you both will be happy. Please let me know whether or not what I have just told you has come true or not in the next few weeks.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 <moderator's note> The following message may be a scam. Send donations at your own risk. </moderator's note> I am writing this letter because I need help and I need it as soon as possible. My family which consists of me, my husband, my two daughters, two sons, and my two grandchildren are going through some really hard financial times right now. I do not know why these tribulations are being placed upon our shoulders right now, but what I do know is that they are very hard to bear. Please allow me to start at the very beginning. My husband and I bought our home a little less than five years ago, all four of my children and one grandchild lived with us at the time. Our oldest son who had graduated from high school soon left for the army reserves. Shortly after his graduation from boot camp he was sent overseas for a little over a year. When my son returned he moved back into our home and stayed with us for about two months as he wanted to live on his own, so with the money he saved up from his army pay he and my youngest daughter got their own apartment and moved out. They were only able to keep this apartment for a little less than a year as the government began deducting money from his pay; the government informed him and his unit that they had over paid them $15,000.00 while overseas so now he had to pay them back, so they began garnishing his check. This led to his not being able to keep up with the costs of renting so he and my daughter had to move back home. My son has been actively seeking employment for over a year now and so far nothing. My youngest daughter has been going to school to become a nurse so we help her with her transportation to and from school and externship with a car that was given to us by a close friend. We have to pay the insurance on that vehicle and she pays for gas with the little income she makes from her part time job. During this time my oldest daughter and grandchild who had moved out and was living with her baby's father became pregnant again, everything was going fine so we thought until the week after she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Well one night we heard a knock on our door and there stood our daughter with our grandchildren. He had driven her to our house and told her he would pick her up the next day but he never showed up. He had left her; he stole her car and trashed the apartment they were living in so she could not return. We honestly did not want her to return because if he was capable of that imagine what else he would be capable of. So now all the kids who flew the coup had now returned, with one extra. My youngest son is still in high school. I am on SSI for Systemic Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Chronic and Severe Asthma and get $637.00 per month. My husband who is the only major bread winner in the house lost his overtime at work and tries to do the best he can with the little we have supporting a household of 8 with him included. There are times when we have very little food and have to go without eating so that the kids can eat, well at least my grandchildren and my youngest son, but it is very hard on us to watch all the kids go hungry, no matter what age they are. Our home is going into foreclosure and we most certainly do not have enough to pay the bills (utilities) let alone take care of so many with the prices as high as they are for gas and food. Just this summer and part of the fall we had to by a new our hot water heater as ours gave out, we had to fix the main sewer pipe from outside which flooded our basement during all the rain we had, we had to fix the roof on the second and third floor because we had major leaks and we also had to fix the plumbing under the kitchen sink and basement because they were leaking! Those are just a few of the reasons for our not being able to pay our mortgage anymore and keep up with the bills. Life is getting too hard for us to continue going on this way. My husband and I went to CCCs to get help to save our home from going into full blown foreclosure but they told us that since our " Debt to income Ratio " was too high we really do not qualify for anything. The mortgage co won't even help us because we are high risk and with things going the way they are right now with the economy they are being very strict in their selection process. So we were told to put our home up for sale in at least a week or two and if it does not sell within 60 days to have the real-estate agent call the mortgage co and have them do a short-sale which means we lose everything. The problem is, is that we DO NOT want to lose our home, we love our home, we love our neighborhood, we love our neighbors. This is our home, we put money into this house, we put our blood, sweat and tears into this house, we want to keep our home and grow old in our home…my family is being torn apart from this. The holidays are coming and we are so stressed out and scared we don't know what to do! Being that my husband is the only bread winner in the house this has him so stressed out, he already has high blood pressure and I don't want anything to happen to him. My husband is a sweetheart, everyone who meets him loves him, he is a jokester and just tries to make everyone who is around him feel good. When we are either on the road or the highway if he sees a stranded motorist he stops and helps them, he helps change flats for people he doesn't even know, if he sees an elderly person who has too many groceries he pulls up beside them and asks if they need a ride and if they do if gives it to them without ever accepting any money for the favor. He does favors for the elderly on our block, he shovels there snow, rakes leaves, helps with their trash. I love my husband so much and I don't think it is fair to him to have t o worry and suffer so. So what I am doing is asking for help from the people of Philadelphia and all over the world to please save our home and our family and hopefully this will in turn save the world as more and more people who are in need will begin to ask and receive as well. We as a people, as a human race should help one another. If everyone in this world donated $1.00 to those in need regardless of race, creed or color without judgments then in my honest opinion no one would have to suffer or carry so much stress that they become ill and every one would have and the world would be blessed. It says in the bible, " Ask and you shall receive " so I am asking with all faith hoping that I will receive. When I was at the CCCS center I had asked the counselor, " Just for the sake of it, how much time would we have if we were to receive a miracle and were able to pay the mortgage and keep our home? " and he just looked at me and his reply was, " I'm not even going to answer that, I live in the world of reality, I'm a realist, that type of stuff only happens on TV. " I was like wow, he just burst my bubble, but I want to prove him and everyone else who doesn't believe in miracles wrong! So can you please help me? Thank you so much and God Bless you all with everything Good your heart desires.
