Bhava dasa 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2006 There is a discussion taking place on the matter of following Caturmasya. Some say it is obligatory, while others say it is not. On one side they are quoting a verse from Hari-bhakti-vilasa (16.19): "He, who lives through the periods of Karttika and Chaturmasya without vows is indeed the killer of a brahmin and the lowest of his dynasty." ...And others say that the goal of such observances is to become qualified to drink Soma-rasa and achieve immortality, etc. Adding, that we do not need to follow these Vedic rituals. Any quotes from Gaudiya Vaisnavas literature? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
