The Greater Sex

Sex is God's arrangement for producing babies.The male injects semen into the female and makes her pregnant. But there is also a transcendental form of impregnation. This "greater sex" is to impregnate through the holes of their ears the living beings with the semen of Krishna consciousness. This makes them pregnant with Krishna consciousness, the reawakening of their original pure consciousness of love of God, which they once had but has sleeping within them since time immemorial. In this original pure form of consciousness they constantly and unlimitedly relish their eternal natures which are full of knowledge and full of bliss. Thus out of compassion on the suffering souls of this world Krishna's devotees want to make the whole world "pregnant" with pure love of God.

So there is no need to remain asleep in a suffering condition within the clutches of maya or illusion, keeping you locked up in temporality, ignorance, and misery. Chant Hare Krishna with love and fill your heart with the sweetest, purest form of ecstasy. Try it right now and swim in the ocean of unlimited bliss!

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Restrictions on Sex Within Marriage?

Dear Srila Gurudeva, 

Please accept my humble obeisances. 🙏
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

One of our initiation vows is "No Illicit sex." We know that means that we should not have sex outside of marriage. Does this mean that we have facility for unlimited sex pleasure within marriage or are there some restrictions on this sex within marriage?

Answer: Sex Only for Procreation, Not for Recreation

My Dear Anonymous,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Since the purpose of human life is self-realization, the more we can minimize or eliminate sense gratification the better off we will be. Thus Srila Prabhupada has clearly explained what are the limits on sexual intercourse within marriage. He clearly explains that sex within marriage should be minimized and that it is only for procreation, not for recreation. Here are some of Srila Prabhupada's many guidelines in this regard:

"According to religious injunctions a man is restricted to enjoy sex only once in a month, after the menstrual period of the wife, and if the wife is pregnant, he is not allowed sex life at all. That is the law for human beings."
--from purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 4th Canto, Chapter 27, Text 5

"The grihasthas, or householders, are given license to have an intimate relationship with a woman, and that relationship is also restricted for begetting nice children. If, however, one wants to stick to continued existence in the material world, he may indulge in female association unrestrictedly."
--from purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Third Canto, Chapter 31, Text 39

"You have asked me some questions about the functions of sex life in Krishna Consciousness, and the basic principle is that it should be avoided as far as possible. However, if it is unavoidable, then it should be utilized only for begetting Krishna Conscious children. In that case, the husband and wife should chant at least fifty rounds before going to sex. The recommended period is six days after the menstruation period."
--from a letter to: Syama -- Los Angeles 18 January, 1969

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
