Bhuddhist monks were probably celibate. Sannyasis in India. Apostles in Christianity and so on. All religions recommend some sort of marriage rites and control of sex to some degree I believe. The highest ones control illicit sex more than the lower ones. For example, Krishna didn't preach in the Bhagavad-Gita not to engage in homosexual activity to Arjuna because it wasn't necessary to tell such a great personality not to do such a fallen activity, there was no need.

Are devotees really able to do it or are we all just practicing and pretending until we are able to? this is a serious question please do not erase it!!!

Oh please Ganesh I know you remove all obstacles to pure devotional service please help me to follow the four regulative principles THIS TIME!!

Uh oh. Sometimes I start to cry a little in kirtana or my voice starts to freeze up so I have to stop chanting. I have seen a sannyasi do this also, Jayadwaita Swami, at least that is what it looks like to me. He smiles a lot at Ratha yatra. But the most it has lasted is like four or five words with me. Who is ganapati?

I L O V E Radharani!!!

thank you for taking the time to post those transcendental instructions. they were so ecstatic! I can't wait to get back into reading Srila Prabhupada's books!!!

It may have been from the "Matha" but it seemed alright but I didn't read it all. I hope all that wasn't for my benefit alone. I will go back to reading Srila Prabhupada's books. I don't reveal anything to anybody who personally knows me about what I feel for Radharani because that would definately be seen as sahajiya and I don't need that! I will stick to Prabhupada's books with a few exceptions and will study more soon. I only have two or three days online before I cancel. Thanks for all the help. dust

Call me a prakrta-sahajiya, but I just want to serve the servant of the servant of the servant of the Dearmost Servant of Lord Sri Krishna... and nobody knows who I am in here anyways...

Jaya! Jaya! Jaya! Jaya! Jaya! I so wanted to read some books! Maybe it was just certain translations Srila Prabhupada didn't want his disciples to read. I can't say how happy I am. Thank you prabhuji all glories to your service. I am done.

are there any statements from guru,sadhu and sastra backing up your position? I have been hearing so many different thoughts on the matter. I need something authoritative.

The newspaper of the Hare Krishna movement. Krishna has lots of games he plays with the cowherd boys and they are more fun than playing golf.

Why did the six goswamis write down exalted books of loving pastimes of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna? It was only five hundred years ago. Was it under direction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu? Was it because all of them could not HELP but write these things down, as they were feeling the mellows of SEPERATION from Sri Sri Radha and Krishna and were DEVASTATED? If so, I can understand that. But what have the acaryas said about reading these books? Did Bhaktivinode Thakura and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta say we could read some or all of them? Did Srila Prabhupada? I heard we CANNOT READ THEM AT ALL! If we cannot read them can any Gaudiya Vaishnavas read them? If they were to be allowed to read them would they also have to be completely pure? Can only pure devotees read these books???

He was the best.

(crying in seperation from the painting) sob sob sigh boo hoo hoo boo hoo waaaaahhhhhhhh sob sob sob

It is of the mayur lila in mayur kutir. It is a painting commissioned by Radharani herself done by an old brijabasi. In it Krishna and Radharani are dancing madly as peacocks. I will search more for it later I have to go now.
