Om Nama Shivai!

 

One wife restriction is there in Indian Hindus as per the legal rule. It is a crime to have two existing wives by any Hindu male in India. Btw, IS it a social rule/compulsion Or a Hindu religion rule/law?? Is it in accordance with the recommendations of Hindu sashtras or culture?

 

Best wishes.

But, how & why the Social & religious rules made it mandatory to have one wife only? Should we not follow the recomendations/presented deeds of 'last avtara'? Is it something in contradiction to Lord Krishna's(being the last existed avtara)recomendations/presented deeds? Are we not going to pay for it?

rama has shown a way of an ideal household.

he had only one wife -sita.

hence most hindus prefer one wife.

it keeps one free form family fueds.

 

the vedic dharm however allows more than one wives for kshatriyas. accordingly krishna had many wives, 16,001 to be exact. many small or big kings of teh vedic culutre had more than one wives.

 

in ref. to a someone's previous post,

boing to god is a mutual affair of the couple.

it is not the monopoly of just the husband or just the wife.

 

prabhupada could not bring his wife to krishna.

he parted from her just because she refused to give up taking/sharing tea. this however is not prabhupada's weakness.

 

in contrast, bilvamangal was turned to god by a prostitute.

 

so, if you like to have more wives, be a kshatriya.

"prabhupada could not bring his wife to krishna."

 

this is an external consideration.... any contact with a pure devotee brings us back to godhead

 

the nature of the activities of such saints and his associates are entirely in the transcendental realm.. so we do not know really where's now the former wife of srila prabhupada

Lord Rama: the only one neither his father nor his brother & any or most of others--had/suggested, just one wife. Moreover, he was in & for 'Satyuga' but this is 'Kalyuga'. The advices/pictures of next avtara if existed, can be more appropriate as Lord Krishna exited. I can't say if these were only for 'kshatriyas' in Lord Krishna's & thereafter time. Older existed avtara's (except prime or basic one i.e. GOD not Avtara) though should be respected but worship may not be appropriate as not meant for last 'current yuga' alike treatment by ancient systems instead of modren allopathic system. Older avtara's worships are only effected(remember Parlahda time & current time events). No lord Krishna worships seems to be really much effected. It is all in the hand of God Vishnu or Narayana. What Kalki Avtara's concept suggests in this regard? What the NATURE suggests for this concept? Can one wife concept leads us to some complications or imbalances? Why we & other are becoming imbalanced?

 

Shall we be effected severely due to this miss in the near future?
