So true ! Imagine a life without any bodily diseases. At every step of life, We fear that we may get a disease and suffer or even die but If we don't possess this material body and get a spiritual body then we don't have to worry about cleaning it daily and fearing death or disease. Wow,such a privilege 😌 Hare Krishna, thank you prabhuji 🙏
Dear sir, mr gaur charan das, I was a good person but later fallen to illicit sex, now due to my act I and she feeling very bad about ourselves we dont speak anymore but we are feeling verybad and cant comeout of fear of karma and cant go back to normal life.

Its not clear from your comment, if you are married or not, so I am unable to suggest anything specific. However, a necessary thing you can do is to raise your spiritual consciousness to break free of your problems. Easiest way is to chant Hare Krishna in this age to experience a evolution of consciousness. If you have an ISKCON center nearby, please visit and take personal guidance.

Hare Krishna, its original recording, however I made a mistake when cleaning the voice, I over stretched the range and uploaded the video without verifying. You can hear the orignal audio lecture here Original Audio & Transcript - vedabase.io/en/library/transcripts/721003r1la/
Actual pronounciation is कृष्ण...However,You write....when you write in English bacause of western influence ...most of the pronunciation changes Like Lord Ram name Changes to Rama...
Krishna is in English. When you give IAST transliteration from Sanskrit to English, it becomes Kṛṣṇa -(note the dots ) So both Kṛṣṇa and Krishna are fine.. though Kṛṣṇa is more accurate
The holy name, character, pastimes and activities of Krishna are all transcendentally sweet like sugar candy. Although the tongue of one afflicted by the jaundice of avidya [ignorance] cannot taste anything sweet, it is wonderful that simply by carefully chanting these sweet names every day, a natural relish awakens within his tongue, and his disease is gradually destroyed at the root.
there is no difference between spirit and soul in Srila Prabhupad's terminology. Srila Prabhupada uses usually soul or spirit soul interchangeably. For Paramatma we use the world "Supersoul".
Hare Krishna Prabhu,i am 41 years old, recently married, for my wife to get pregnant how many times having sex in a month is recommended,i am doing it every week 1-2 times...
You don't become impotent after having "illicit" sex. If you're married, and you and your wife are consenting adults then there's nothing wrong with having sex more than once in a month. In fact it's scientifically proven that it's good for health. The main issue with ISKCON and other religious groups is that they hold pretty extreme views similar to catholics when it comes to things like sex. Just my two cents.
True , IMO, ISKON behaves like Islam is someway .While I agree that we should'nt behave like animal, but how did arrive to that figure, having sex once per month is good and not more than that. It should be upto the partner to decide whats right for them. That is why I never associate Hinduism with ISKON.
Basic principle is regulation. Unregulated sex life is not healthy, in general, even leaving aside spiritual advancement. Regulation is sexual habits is required for elevating one's consciousness beyond bodily needs. How much to regulate and how to regulate depends on the person's spiritual eagerness and other factors like interest and ability of the spouse etc. No one is expected to artificially step up but not having any regulation is also not recommended.
Dear prabhu, restrictions vary according to one's age and level of spiritual commitment, influence of three modes etc. Be sincere and strict to the best of your capacity and offer prayers to krishna for further purification. When the heart is cleansed and spiritual consciousness is increased and with age naturally detachment will arise. Focus on spiritual practices and regulate your sex life, details are upto how quickly you want to be spiritually advanced and what is the your spiritual stregth and commitment in reality.
Hare Krishna, Since most of us prefer short clips instead of long lecture, I tried shorter clips. Sometimes there is lot of background noise so when I try to reduce them it slightly distorts the voice, I am learning the process so will keep your comment in mind. Thank you. Hare Krishna.
It's an universal principle to reduce sexual indulgence as one advances in Bhakti and also in age. You need to figure out how to follow the direction in your life based on your circumstances, ability to control the desires, opinions of your partner, your current devotional strength. Consult expereinced householder devotees for further help.
Sex without marriage is bad.. Thats correct but to control sex within married life sounds illogical.. Couple need emotional attachment also.. I think prabhupada ji said it to be IDEAL. Am i right prabhu❓
Srila Prabhupada is giving the standard if someone wants to make swift spiritual advancement, every couple has to come to an understanding how to follow it in a practical way to make spiritual advancement.
This is rather funny, it's an opinion though I'm not sure what it's based upon. The unfortunate thing is that some people will believe this. This kind of thing really belongs to the dark ages......a time when people lacked knowledge and education.
To understand this one also needs to understand the wisdom behind the menstrual practices of the ancient times. During menstrual cycle, women are allowed full rest from doing any type of house work for in those days without electricity, cleaning, cooking, fetching water all involved hard manual labor. It would be strenuous for a menstruating lady to do manual work. So they were allowed to rest. In ideal conditions, if the lady's menstrual cycle is aligned with the moon cycle, the prana or energy flow according to Ayurveda is upwards after the moon cycle and her body is well rested and anxiety free, so during sex she will be able to absorb the male energy well into her body and her uterus would also be rejuvenated for the process of fertilizing the egg.
@@gaur_sharan Prabhu ji , now days modern stupid woman's argue on entering temple with periods with analogy if Lord Krishna didn't hesitate to help draupadi during disrobing while she was on her periods and who are we to let them not entering to Pooja or temple , my question is does scriptures say anything about it that can woman enter temples or shrine during her menstruation
It's understandable to have sex within marriage. But to restrict sex during marriage seems extreme. Shouldn't it be for the couple to decide what is good for them? And there's studies that it helps women during pregnancy when their hormones are wild. Restrictions for a couple that is passionate about each other seem counteractive, and can tempt people outside of the marriage and/or religion. Indefinitely is not just physical it's also emotional. I welcome your thoughts or correction on this important matter. Thank you for sharing, Hare Krishna 🙏🏼📿🧡
Passion runs out. Duty doesn't. Too much sex at the beginning of marriage can often lead to disappointment later on when the same cannot be kept up due to various reasons. Understand it this way, a lot of people do intermittent fasting of 16 to 18 hours and then enjoy good food. It's the fasting which keeps them both healthy and allows the food to taste even better. However, a person who is stuffing himself/herself with food all the time will suffer both physically and the taste too diminishes irrespective of quantity. Quantity doesn't equal quality. As for the rights of couples to choose, yes they can and should. However, the criteria of the choice should be as to whether their goal is to keep trying to enjoy this body or God realization. Cause both is not possible. As Prabhupada explains, one cannot do nonsense throughout the day and then become God conscious. So restrictions are not meant to suppress but to uplift us if our goal is God realization.
Hi Lucy, I hope you are well. Sorry for the delay in responding. I am still adjusting to the city. I look forward to seeing you soon. As far as your thoughtful question, yes, the couple should make the decision. However, as a spiritual teacher like a doctor, Srila Prabhupada is giving advice; ultimately, it's up to the patient to decide whether to follow or not. For those interested in spiritual advancement, mindless sense enjoyment, be it sex, overeating, or entertainment, will limit their eagerness to focus on spiritual endeavor. "Restrictions for a couple that is passionate about each other seem counteractive and can tempt people outside of the marriage and/or religion." Spiritual life is a journey that involves both partners, their desires, etc. Therefore, personal guidance is essential to handling life situations appropriately in light of spiritual standards. As far as sex during pregnancy, the mental disposition of the mother influences the baby's mentality and thus influences its future. That's why proper spiritual training from childhood is necessary so that when the person comes to the stage of bearing a child, they have become sober enough to control the urges through spiritual practice. Scriptures don't neglect physical conditions such as hormones, etc. Rather, they equip us to deal with them on another level. Medical studies are done by people who identify themselves as the body and don't have a spiritual dimension to life, so their opinions will be skewed by their limited understanding. However, scriptures see from a larger perspective how the baby's mental disposition will be affected for life. Through regular chanting and other spiritual practices, we will naturally realize our true identity as spirit soul, and also, our physical and mental demands for undue enjoyment will reduce. This is an important topic; however, the comment section is not enough to give all perspectives. If there are more questions, we can discuss them when we meet in person. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Hare Krishna.
Saying no to sex is not so easy. Only because of lack of sex i fear going to iskcon. I wish contraceptives were not invented. Honestly no matter how much I crave sex life. It cant be denied it is unlawful. But even if I leave sex life. If i wish to marry just for emotional.fulfilment. iskcon might separate us husband and wife. That is what iskcon does. I cannot live so hard life. The thing is there but see due to iskcon our little.enjoyment also angers god. How pathetic is jiva. And his life.
So you are a person which is attached to the material world. When your soul will leave this body,then you will go to hell and again you will take birth on this planet earth to know krsna
Find inline replies below Saying no to sex is not so easy. " OK. but that doesn't mean we cannot try and become perfect eventually." Only because of lack of sex i fear going to iskcon. " Don't worry, if you chant nicely and please Gaura Nitai, you can be free from the burden of kama, krodha etc. There is spiritual enjoyment apart from Bodily enjoyment. Even if you don't go to ISKCON, over time your ability to enjoy sex will go away. Bodily identification is killing us spiritually." I wish contraceptives were not invented. Honestly no matter how much I crave sex life. It cant be denied it is unlawful. " I appreciate your honesty." But even if I leave sex life. If i wish to marry just for emotional.fulfilment. iskcon might separate us husband and wife. That is what iskcon does. I cannot live so hard life. " I think you are hurt by your past expereinces within ISKCON. Due to our ego, many times we end up with bad expereinces in the association. No body in ISKCON wants to separate a husband and wife. There are many families living happily and practicing. In fact most of the members of ISKCON are actually individuals living with families. The thing is there but see due to iskcon our little.enjoyment also angers god. How pathetic is jiva. And his life. " It is not due to ISKCON, you are not angering God, you are delaying your real life. Don't fear for anger of God, feel pity on ourselves for staying away from eternal happiness due to being attracted by temporary enjoyment." It's like a child attracted to candy doesn't want to leave the village fair and go home.
Because of lack of knowledge I had sex with my wife during during her pregnancy. I hope that neither I or my daughter who is now 3 month older have to suffer for my sins.

So you are a person which is attached to the material world. When your soul will leave this body,then you will go to hell and again you will take birth on this planet earth to know krsna
Hare Krishna, Sorry let's be nice to each other and help others. Jai Srila Prabhupada 🙏🙏🙏

Saying no to sex is not so easy. " OK. but that doesn't mean we cannot try and become perfect eventually."
Only because of lack of sex i fear going to iskcon. " Don't worry, if you chant nicely and please Gaura Nitai, you can be free from the burden of kama, krodha etc. There is spiritual enjoyment apart from Bodily enjoyment. Even if you don't go to ISKCON, over time your ability to enjoy sex will go away. Bodily identification is killing us spiritually."
I wish contraceptives were not invented. Honestly no matter how much I crave sex life. It cant be denied it is unlawful. " I appreciate your honesty."
But even if I leave sex life. If i wish to marry just for emotional.fulfilment. iskcon might separate us husband and wife. That is what iskcon does. I cannot live so hard life. " I think you are hurt by your past expereinces within ISKCON. Due to our ego, many times we end up with bad expereinces in the association. No body in ISKCON wants to separate a husband and wife. There are many families living happily and practicing. In fact most of the members of ISKCON are actually individuals living with families.

How pathetic is jiva. And his life. " It is not due to ISKCON, you are not angering God, you are delaying your real life. Don't fear for anger of God, feel pity on ourselves for staying away from eternal happiness due to being attracted by temporary enjoyment." It's like a child attracted to candy doesn't want to leave the village fair and go home.
Because of lack of knowledge I had sex with my wife during during her pregnancy. I hope that neither I or my daughter who is now 3 month older have to suffer for my sins.
mistakes happen. no worries. main principle is to engage in devotion.
Only prabhupad is guru but now there are so many fake gurus in iskcon
