Are Priests Frustrated Without Sex?

While in the Catholic church there is a controversy over whether or not priests should be allowed to marry, in India's ancient Vedic culture this has never been an issue. The saintly class have always had to option of remaining single or getting married. Therefore in the Hare Krishna movement, which is the modern day manifestation of the Vedic culture, priests can either be married or single. The married priests use sex only for its divine purpose of conceiving children, not for Saturday night recreation. For recreation the Hare Krishnas get greater pleasure from chanting Hare Krishna, dancing in ecstasy, and feasting on delicious vegetarian meals which have been offered to Lord Sri Krishna with love and devotion. The bottom line is that chanting Hare Krishna is better than sex. This is why the Hare Krishna priests are always blissful and never frustrated.

Question: Who Can Remember God at Death?

Guru Maharaja,

My humble obeisances unto you.

I read somewhere recently that a person who remembers the Supreme God at the time of his death definitely reaches the kingdom of God, his original home, the Vaikuntha world.

My question is: Is it possible for every human to remember God at the time of death? What type of a person is actually able to remember God at that time?

Please explain.

Thanking you,

Amit Gupta,

Answer: The Sinless Chanter of His Holy Names

This is only possible for those who are sinless and have trained themselves to remember God at every minute, because a man who is engrossed in material sense gratification will naturally think of sense gratification at the time of death. He won't be able to remember God.

If one will give up meat eating, intoxication, illicit (non-procreational) sex, and gambling and will chant at least 16 rounds (1,728 repetitions) of the Hare Krishna mahamantra daily, he will easily be able to remember God at the time of death and will immediately be transferred to God's divine abode upon passing out of his material body.

The Hare Krishna mahamantra is most sublime and is as follows:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
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 ...
