HUSBAND AS GURU

Husband as Guru

 

Dear Devotee,

 

Recently an unmarried female devotee told me that a man was interested in getting to know her, and in their discussions he mentioned that 'the husband is the guru.' She asked me for guidance on the subject.

 

This Illumination is what I wrote to clarify for her (and him) what it means for a husband to be a guru - and what it doesn't mean; for misunderstanding what this means will be the cause of an unhappy marriage.

 

Even though Prabhupada writes that a failed marriage

Q: How many kinds of devotees are there ?

A: Mahāprabhu explains to Sri Sanatan Goswami in Caitanya Caritāmṛta

CC Madhya 22.99: “There are two kinds of devotees — those who are fully satiated and free from all material desires and those who are fully surrendered to the lotus feet of the Lord. Their qualities are one and the same, but those who are fully surrendered to Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet are qualified with another transcendental quality — ātma-samarpaṇa, full

The Best Advice

Jayananda das Sankirtan

…one should learn the art of chanting the Holy name of Krishna 24 hours a day and that alone is the remedy for all problems of material existence. How is it possible to chant 24 hours a

Tulasi

O Jaimini, anybody who smells the Tulasi leaf which has emanated from Lord Sri Visnu, whatever sins he has in his body are all destroyed. (Padma Purana, Kriya Yogasara 11.135)

If a sinful person leaving his body has a Tulasi leaf in his mouth, he goes to the abode of Lord Sri Visnu. I say this is truth. (Padma Purana, Brahma Khanda 22.7)

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

What process should a practitioner who is full of anarthas follow
in the course of chanting the holy names ?
 
 
Every day a person should give up the disturbance caused by materialenjoyment and chant with love for a while in a solitary place.  Gradually heshould try to increase the duration of this process. Finally, a wonderfulmood will be awakened in him and will remain constantly.
