Abortion is Murder

Abortion is Murder
Many of our readers very much appreciated yesterday's Thought for the Day and wrote me to tell me so. However, one reader very much objected. You can read her objection and my reply below. This illicit sex leads to abortions. In this regard Srila Prabhupada has written as follows in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Fifth Canto, Chapter 14, Text 9:

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not allow anyone to act against the stringent laws of material nature; therefore illicit sex is punished life after life. Illicit sex creates pregnancies, and these unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion. Those involved become implicated in these sins, so much so that they are punished in the same way the next life. Thus in the next life they also enter the womb of a mother and are killed in the same way. All these things can be avoided by remaining on the transcendental platform of Krishna consciousness. In this way one does not commit sinful activity. Illicit sex is the most prominent sin due to lusty desire. When one associates with the mode of passion, he is implicated in suffering life after life."

Those who choose to value sense gratification more than than life of a baby will suffer greatly. We hope to save them and the children they are murdering.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Objection: Krishna is Happy with Our Recreational Sex

I completly disagree with you. I strongly believe once you are married you can have sex for both pleasure and for procreation.

Krishna is very much happy with this process.

Kind regards

Answer: Human Life is Meant for Sense Control

You mention "kind regards". Why don't you have kind regards for the more than 38 million children that have been killed so far this year by abortion?

It is because of this mentality which you and others espouse that sex is for recreation that these more than 38 million innocent children have been murdered. The karmic reaction from these millions of murders is wreaking havoc on the human society. We are trying to save those children. But the sad fact is that millions of people all over the world are strongly convinced that titillating their genitals is more important than a human life. Thus they continue murdering babies so that that they can continue enjoying recreational sex. Human life is meant for sense control, not for living a life lower than animals. Show me any animal species that aborts its babies.

Hoping this meets you with a better understanding.

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 ...

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy
