Every one of them is a part and parcel of the Supreme Lord (Bhagavad-gita 14.4), and the king, being the representative of the Supreme Lord, is duty-bound to give proper protection to every one of them.

≻ Polygamy makes sense for some
If anyone is able to keep more than one wife and give them all comforts of life, there is no objection for having more than one wife. But if he creates trouble by marrying, he should not marry even one wife, this is my judgment. More
≻ Maybe it's time to question why American society so vehemently opposes the natural impulse of marriage at a young age? Sex life, sex urge is there as soon as twelve years, thirteen years old, especially women. So therefore early marriage was sanctioned in India. Early marriage. Boy fifteen years, sixteen years, and girl twelve years. More
≻ The hypocrisy in stamping out polygamy People have become so degraded in this age that on the one hand they restrict polygamy and on the other hand they hunt for women in so many ways. More
≻ In Search of Something From among these intelligent souls, those who are especially pious begin to keenly enquire about God and other spiritual topics. Others, who pursue ignoble material knowledge, cannot become successful in life and end up beating the chaff. More
≻ Too Embarassing When one is alone, brahmachari [unmarried], he has no condition, he lives freely. But as soon as he's married, so many obligations. More
≻ Marriage and Krishna Consciousness In Krishna consciousness, the important factor is “Is this person dedicated to the service of Krishna and the spiritual master?” If the answer is yes—and that's the first consideration—the next one of course is, “Are we compatible?” More
≻ Perverted Reflection All our relationships here, either as master and servant or as friend and friend or as parents and child or as husband and wife or as lover and the beloved, any relationship, whatever we see here, that is the perverted reflection of our eternal relationship with God. More
≻ Less Than Human After sex, the living entity takes shelter within the semina and ovum of the father and mother, and the formation is just like a small grain. That grain develops because the spirit soul has taken shelter. It is not that the body develops automatically, and at seven months there is life. More
≻ No Sir, You are Not Safe I am thinking, "Now I have got good home, good wife, nice children, nice bank balance. So I am safe now." More
≻ Virtual Reality: First Subtle, Then Gross The mind is the subtle substance in which the body is created, as we actually experience in our dreams and also when we are awake in contemplation. One must understand that the process of mental speculation develops a new type of body that does not actually exist. More
≻ Fight Like a Man? You are already not equal with the man because in so many respects, your functions are different and man's functions are different. Why do you say artificially they are equal? More
≻ Class Not by Birth, Nor by Economic Status The four divisions of society—namely intellectuals, administrators, merchants, and laborers—should be determined not by birth but by merit, just as one becomes a doctor or a judge not by birthright but by merit alone. More
≻ Old Age - Out from the Mouths of Babes No one keeps a dead body, however beautiful it might have been and however much affection we might have had for the body while living. That affection stops when life leaves the body. At that time, we can understand that the body is not really beautiful at all; that the element of beauty within the body was actually the soul. More
≻ Save Yourself, Spidey A hunter spread his net. So some little birds, they fell down in the net and they are crying. They are crying. So the father, mother, when they came, they saw that their children are in danger: "It is caught by the net of the hunter." More
≻ There must be some mistake - I'm not this body So why there are different types of bodies? Because you wanted a particular type of enjoyment under the influence of material nature. More
≻ Who is this person I knew to be my son, my brother? The so-called father and mother have nothing to do with the living entity. As a result of his own choice and karma, the living being takes different bodies through the agency of so-called fathers and mothers. More

≻ Standard of care for One's Elderly Parents If a person is able to care for or give protection to old parents, children, the spiritual master, brahmanas and other dependents, but does not do so, he is considered to be already dead, although he is supposedly breathing. More
≻ Consequences of Choice There is abortion. The body is killed. Contraception... The body is killed. But the soul, he's not killed. If you make some inconvenience to the soul, who has taken shelter in the womb, and you kill the body, then he'll have to search out another body. More

mathematician, big scientist, big educationist. We don't find. They
were all men. More
≻ Death Sentence: Silver Lining in the Cloud A small child walking with his father goes on inquiring constantly.

"According to the results of my fruitive activities, I, the living being, transmigrate from one body to another... in which birth were these two my mother and father?" More

If a rich man's son forgets his father, leaves home and becomes mad, he may lie on the street to go to sleep, or he may beg money for food, but all of this is due to his forgetfulness. More
≻ Kali Coming of Age: Unmarriage the Norm The boy takes charge of the young girl from the custody of her father. This is marriage. Woman, according to Vedic civilization, they are not recommended freedom. They should be taken care just like children are taken care of. More

≻ Surrounded on All Sides by Sex It is said in the Manu-smriti that lust cannot be satisfied by any amount of sense enjoyment, just as fire is never extinguished by a constant supply of fuel. In the material world, the center of all activities is sex, and thus this material world is called maithunya-agara, or the shackles of sex life. More
≻ Mercy Killing or Killing Mercy? The living entity gets a suitable body with a material mind and senses, according to his fruitive activities. When the reaction of his particular activity comes to an end, that end is called death, and when a particular type of reaction begins, that beginning is called birth. More
≻ Conception: Not Just a Chemical Reaction It follows that any father and mother should also be careful while begetting children. The mental condition of a child depends upon the mental status of his parents at the time he is conceived. More
≻ Population on the Rise (or Fall into Lower Species?) The modern theory—the population has increased— this is a nonsense theory. If there is production is sufficient, where is the question of population increasing? Let population increase. More
≻ Poignant Reminder: Nobody's Safe
The great ocean of material nature is tossing with the waves of time, and the so-called living conditions are something like foaming bubbles, which appear before us as bodily self, wife, children, society, countrymen, etc. More
≻ A Reflection of the Mentality of Father and Mother at Time of Conception
The mental state of the father and mother before sex will certainly affect the mentality of the child to be begotten. A child who is begotten out of lust may not turn out as the parents desire. More
≻ Rascal Culture Based on Sex
Disciple: Srila Prabhupada, people sometimes criticize, "Your Vedic culture was most solidly established in India. And India is now considered relatively poor and unfortunate. So why should we respect the Vedic culture?" More

≻ Liberated Woman: Out of Place
...In Chicago I said, all women, "You cannot have freedom. You have got only thirty-four ounce brain, and man has got sixty-four ounce." I told them. So I became a subject of very great criticism. More
≻ Something's Missing
In the primary stage a child loves his parents, then his brothers and sisters, and as he daily grows up he begins to love his family, society, community, country, nation, or even the whole human society. But the loving propensity is not satisfied even by loving all human society... More
≻ Parents and children...
All parents look to their children, hoping they will embrace or carry on their line of thought, but this is almost never the case, 80 to 90% of the time. More
≻ Your Wife Takes Off With Your Best Friend!!
As long as one is capable of earning money for his family, friends and countrymen, then he will be respected and honored. But when we are unable to earn money, then we will very quickly be rejected, forgotten and neglected. More
≻ Do You Really Know Who You Are?
The mother and father are just incidental. They create a favorable condition in which the soul takes shelter and then expands to develop a particular kind of body according to his past pious or impious actions. In this particular life we have a mother and father. But before this life we also had a mother and father, and when this life is finished, we shall have another mother and father. More
