Stri dharma in Krsna Consciousness is about role of women in God centered society. Dharma means laws and orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna. Dharma distinguishes the human life from animals. Just as in the state people are governed by the laws, so God has created the laws and orders for humanity and coded them in vedic Literatures. Krsna Consciousness is living according to laws of God, Krsna. Consciousness means state of awareness.  Krsna Consciousness or God Consciousness means living a lawful life in God Consciousness, or awareness of God in our lives. Laws of nature and God are given in Vedas. The essence of the vedic injunctions are presented in layman's language by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada in his volumes of transcendental literatures. These books serve the humanity by providing a Krsna conscious or dharmic way of life according to the laws of nature, devoid of sins thereby creating a peaceful God centered society. Stri means women, dharma means duty, This blog is teaches how to perform the duties of woman in Krsna Consciousness for the peaceful and God Conscious society.  Good population in human society is the basic principle for peace, Prosperity and Spiritual progress in life. Such population depends on the chastity and devotion of its womanhood. As Children are prone to be misled similarly women are prone to degradation. Therefore, both children and women require protection by the elder members of the family. It is for this reason, various guidelines are given in Sastra (Vedic Literatures). Srila Prabhupada speaks about the traditional and cultural role of women in the general society as well as in Krsna Consciousness throughout his vani (instructions).

This adage is from chandogya upanisad, spiritual master is the personification of vedas. Living vedas, his actions are in terms of sastra, closely observe the activities of divine spiritual master, you will realise that each of his behaviour has a reason.  Once I saw my Guru Mahārāja was touching the earth at the tulasi plant after our tulasi arati while watering Tulasi devi. I did follow,  later when I was reading Hari Bhakti vilasa, I came across glories of earth beneath the tulasi plant. (Tulasi mula mittika)  The Glories of Tulasé's Wood and Earth In the Skanda Puräëa it is said: "Touching the earth at Tulasé's roots is equal to ten million pilgrimages. One should carefully keep some of this earth in his home. "A person who at his death is anointed with Tulasé earth is invisible to Yamaräja. Yamaräja cannot even see him, even if he has committed a hundred sins. "When a person places Tulasé earth on his head, all obstacles that trouble him perish. All the plan...

Successful marriage requires submissive wife

Image
When Srila Prabhupāda said, if marriage is failure then 90% of chances are due to woman's lack of submissiveness. Submissiveness is innate asset for women.  Modern education and training in contemporary society raised woman to rebel against the male authority in our life, be it father, husband or son. As, it has been aptly put by HG Jagannathesvari mataji in her book, The four goals of family life,  A woman becomes more beautiful not by wearing nice ornaments rather becoming submissive.  A beautiful wife without submissiveness is jewelled snake, beauty attracts man, character captures a man.  If you wish to save your marriage,  ladies, here is the tip, learn the art of submissiveness.  Submissiveness means submission, submitting to your husband.  A pristine quote from Srila Prabhupāda,  However great a woman may be, she must place herself before her husband in this way; that is to say, she must be ready to carry out he...
