Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 Members, I have really enjoyed the astrology in the Bhagavatam tips. Isn't there a place in the purport where Shrila Prabhupada explains that a gentleman should have his daughter's horoscope done before marrying her?

Perhaps the purport to 3.21.15 is what you are referring to? "Formerly, boys and girls of similar dispositions were married; the similar natures of the boy and girl were united in order to make them happy. Not more than twenty-five years ago, and perhaps it is still current, parents in India used to consult the horoscope of the boy and girl to see whether there would be factual union in their psychological conditions. These considerations are very important. Nowadays marriage takes place without such consultation, and therefore, soon after the marriage, there is divorce and separation. Formerly husband and wife used to live together peacefully throughout their whole lives, but nowadays it is a very difficult task." jpd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
