Tarun 6 Report post Posted May 11, 2002 It is said: "Every brahmaNa should eventually accept sannyAs" Under what circumstances would u renounce, accept sannyAs? If your wife left u for a better man? A worse man? A woman? If all your kids were gainfully employed? unemployed? deployed? If your business ran sour? sour dough? doughnut holes? If all your debts were totally paid off? spun off? hats off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tarun 6 Report post Posted May 24, 2002 Who could remain sannyAs till death? U? I? He? And even so, would my/your/his heart really be in it? Keeping chaste externally is one thing; internal quite another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarun 6 Report post Posted June 13, 2002 So many sannyAsIs & gurus r passing through, nearby. Like rush hour. Who will stay in one place & establish one Western temple? Touring is okay, but not grass-root. More like uproot. Wish them all well. Learn from each. Be considerate, flexible. Safe journey. ViSNu is everywhere. KRSNa is not. SAdhus r certainly rare. Rarer still? Bonafide Brahmacaryazrams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
