A Happy Grihastha life and Vedic Dharma Seminar

Hari Narayana Das: Many people think that life as householder is a happy life. This stereotype of thinking brings people to enter the householder life. A question appears here “is they really pace the happy life?” As explain in scripture that the whole world beginning with the highest planet to the lowest in the material world is facing problem. The combination of husband and wife is a necessary satisfaction of the sex urge. The less intelligent person faces this problematic situation every day but still they are not intelligent enough to avoid it. When a man decides to marry a woman, he should understand that he enters a house of problem. As Srila Prabhupada mention in his letter that “It is difficult to satisfy a woman by a person who has no income, neither very good health. The women as a class wants sufficient means to eat and decorate and at the same time full satisfaction of sex.” (SPL to Garga-muni, 13th November, 1967). When a man fails to fulfill the women necessities then they must meet the problem. On the other part of this letter Srila prabhupada explain that “Married life is a sort of license to the incapable man who cannot avoid sex life.” We can understand that sex life should not be done out of marriage.
It is our duty to as devotees to introduce what the real grihastha life is. Srila Prabhupad wrote on his letter that “we require so many householders to set the example for others, how in Krishna consciousness we can live peacefully and sanely, even in merried life.” (SPL to Krishna dasa, 11th December 1968). to follow Srila Prbhupada the Bhaktivedanta Institute of Indonesia did a day seminar on December 6th, 2013 as a offering to the Sripada Maharaj vyasa puja. The theme of the seminar was “Becoming a Happy Grihastha Life”. The semiar was held in Aditya Jaya Rawamangun temple hall. The participants were the householder of the Hindu community in Jakarta. The speaker of the seminar was His grace Srigarbha prbhu.
