excerpt from a letter by H.H. Bhakti Charu Swami to a disciple

[Guest guest]

"During one of my first meetings with Srila Prabhupada, His Divine Grace

instructed me to offer this life to Krsna and not to get involved with any

woman. That instruction was a great help. On a similar note, I will also ask

you to do the same. You have seen that after so many years of search, you

could not find your partner. Take it as Krsna’s indication that you are not

meant to get married. After all, what are you going to achieve by getting

married? For a man, the most important thing to understand is that his life

is meant to serve Krsna and he should not be diverted from that. A woman by

nature needs shelter and support, but that is not the case for a man. Please

consider this seriously."
