Thank you Maadhav. You have been kind, indeed. As I understand it, the aspect of discouragement of polygamy is a derived one from the life of rama (and others like him) and not an expressly stated one. Would this be correct?

I am sorry to have been unclear in my statements. What I had intended to ask was not regarding 'good' or 'bad' happenings. Instead, I had wanted to ask about 'good' and 'bad' behavior. Is the supreme being neutral towards morality and immorality? Would it mean that the Supreme being neither likes truthfulness nor hates lying? Is truth and falsehood equal in the eyes of the Supreme being? Would it then mean that the Supreme being indifferent towards moral and immoral behavior?

You have written: HE HAS NO HATRED OR LIKING Can you please elaborate on that? Does this mean that the supreme being is completely neutral towards good and evil, neither liking good nor hating evil? Thanks

Thank you maadhav for your response. You write: "it is not prohibited. it is discouraged. rama is an ideal for grhasthaasrama." Can you please give me a reference from Hindu scriptures from whcih it may be derived that polygamy is discouraged? You write: "however, khstriyas can have more wives." Can you please inform me what is a "khstriyas"? Thank you.

I have been told that the law of India prohibits polygamy for its Hindu citizens. Can anyone please tell me if there is a prohibition of polygamy or polyandry in the Hindu scriptures? Thanks
