Winand Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Did you know that Srila Prabhupada has 4 children, who has more info on them? I read in a biography that his wife and kids arent devoted to Sri Krishna. I also read that He wanted his wife(& kids) to be devoted, but she(the mrs) even had sold His copy of the Gita because she needed te money.........

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Many women for that matter make their husbands sanyasi but few of the men really become one and help others to get enlightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Does anyone know of the reason, why Prabhupada-ji could not make His own wife understand why loving Sri Krishna is Great? Does the biograpy mention reasons??? Jaya Shri Devi Winand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I know the biography mentions that Prabhupada-ji very much wanted his wife and kids to become devoted to Sri Krishna Bhagvan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Does anyone know of the reason, why Prabhupada-ji could not make His own wife understand why loving Sri Krishna is Great? Does the biograpy mention reasons??? Because you can't 'make' anyone a devotee, they have to 'want' to become one. Even Krishna Himself gives us this freewill. Prabhupada tried with his wife, she was not so interested is my understanding. But in the end she is liberated anyway because the family of a pure devotee is liberated many generations both backwards and forwards, what to speak of the immediately family members.

Subala Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 yes Prabhupada "apparently" could not make his wife take to KC. So is Krishna couldn't make Duryuodhana unedrstand... So what is your point? This is our philosophy - freedom of choice. But his wife and his children will benefit speritually from his association.

atma Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Actually Srila Prabhupada had 3 sons and 2 daughters. In my first Ratha Yatra in Calcutta in the 80's I aproached an elderly Bengaly lady and tried to sell a book to her and to my surprise she was Sulaksman, one of Srila Prabhupada's daughters. very charming lady, she was accompanied by her son. Vrindavan De, the youngest son of Srila Prabhupada, has a daughter living in Mayapur, she is initiated and married. Other relatives come very often to the temple. When his wife passed away they brought her body outside the temple and a kirtana party was sent with the family members. Iskcon Calcutta takes care finantially of the living children and they live in a nice apartment in Park Circus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
