Hare Krsna, We have been taught that there is a proper time, place and circumstances for everything. This principle even applies to cultivating good grhastha-asrama and giving birth to good progeny. Insanity is acting according to one’s own whims and fantasies disregarding scriptural injunctions and still expecting good results.

Hare Krsna,                     The Supreme Personality of Godhead is as sentient as we are. The Lord is satisfied if someone offers a nice prayer, and similarly, He is dissatisfied if someone decries His existence or calls Him ill names.

Hare Krsna, In the material world there is an attraction between woman and man. This is the arrangement of conditional life. A man and a woman attract each other, and in that way the scope of material activities, involving house, wealth, children and friendship, increases, and thus instead of decreasing one’s material demands, one becomesContinue reading “SB 3.12.21-35: The Sexual Urge”
