Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Why does wealth corrupt people? Why do people think it is aristrocratic to drink, to eat meat and to live in the disgust of this world? If one of our loved ones is suffering deeply due to the corruption of others? can we help by changing their karma? how ? is there a method?

theist Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 certainly we can help. By somehow bringing their senses into contact with Krsna through hearing some instruction or the Name. Maha-prasadam etc. But family members have their own wills also. I've seen devotee parents become so depressed at seeing their children reject Krsna consciousness or not take to it very strongly. Just like parents who are materialists become depressed when they see their children reject the attainments of the world and take to bhakti-yoga. And those same children become alienated from their parents when they don't understand and follow suit to some degree. Ultimately change of heart comes about through the self surrender of each individual. Best to become a stronger and stronger devotee yourself and you will naturaly benefit everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 <<Why does wealth corrupt people?
