Question: How to Make Sex Divine?

You said,

"While sex with one's wife according to the guidelines of the scriptures is divine, non-procreational sex with one's wife is illicit sex. In fact, it is so undesirable that Srila Prabhupada describes it as prostitution his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Third Canto, Chapter 14, Text 33, 'In other words, sex life with one's wife is equal to prostitution if the regulations are not properly followed.'"

So please tell me the guidelines of the scriptures which makes the act of sex a divine activity?

Gautam

Answer: Follow These Guidelines

The Vedic principle is that sex is only for procreation, not recreation. If a couple desires a child, they should first consult their spiritual master to ensure their spiritual readiness. And then with the spiritual master's blessings, they may engage in sex once in a month just after the woman's menstrual cycle after the husband and wife have both chanted at least 50 rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra on japa mala beads. Such sex life is a holy sacrament and will attract a highly qualified spiritual being to take birth in the womb. If sex is engaged in simply out of lust, children of a demoniac quality will be born.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
