Sex Desire and Vedic Marriage Planning

0:00Prabhupāda: ..."Necessity and Chance"?

Atheistic theories of chance creation

0:03Pradyumna: "Chance and Necessity."

0:06Prabhupāda: That is whole theory of the atheist class men.

0:11Pradyumna: Ohhh.

0:11Prabhupāda: That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. Aparaspara... Aparaspara... Just like one man and woman unites all of a sudden, and there is pregnancy. This is chance.

0:45Pradyumna: Ohh. By sex desire alone the world is created by...

0:48Prabhupāda: Sex. Yes.

Sex desire as cause of creation

0:53Kim anyat kāma-haitukam BG 16.8Kim anyat kāma-haitukam: "Except sex desire, where is the other cause of creation?" That is atheistic theory.

1:16Kim anyat kāma-haitukam. So all of a sudden two opposite parties become sexually inclined, and by chance there is pregnancy and there is production. This is their theory.

Atheistic rejection of marriage and planning

1:36There is no plan. It is like this. Because they are creating like that, there is no plan. Then why there is...? Therefore they say, "It is legalized prostitution, marriage. There is no need of marriage."

1:57Pradyumna: Oh.

1:58Prabhupāda: "Why should we go under legal?"

2:02Pradyumna: "Why should there be a plan when it comes..."

2:06Prabhupāda: This is... This is their atheistic theory.

Vedic purpose of marriage and sons

2:11But our Vedic civilization is, putrārthe kriyate bhārya putra-piṇḍa-prayojanam. Prayojanam. Piṇḍa, piṇḍa-dāna, offering piṇḍa by the son, is necessity, puṇyena narakāt trāyate, because the son delivers the forefathers from the hellish condition of life.

2:40There are so many plans, and they say, "Oh, there is no plan." Ignorance. We say that there is necessity of a putra, or a son; therefore to have a son, a wife is necessary. Therefore wife is accepted. This is a plan.

3:08But they say that it is... "Whenever you feel, just like cats and dogs, sexually inclined, have sex." That's all. Where is plan?

Difference between atheist and theist views

3:21This is difference between atheist and theist. They have no plan. Sex desire is necessity of the body we have, and all of a sudden there is pregnancy. Avoid. Try to avoid pregnancy by contraceptive.

3:39Or if it takes place by chance, that's all right. There is no question of plan.

Modern philosophers and popular icons

3:50These rubbish theories are going on, and they are getting Nobel Prize. They are educated. They are philosopher. John Lennon is a philosopher. [laughs] You see? This is going on. Ginsberg is a big man. George Harrison is a big man.

4:17You see? Eraṇḍāpi dhūmayate[?].

Analogy of the castor seed tree

4:22When there is no tree, that, what is called? Castor tree, castor.

4:35Devotee: Castor

4:35Prabhupāda: Castor. Eraṇḍa. It doesn't become higher than this [gesticulates]. "Oh, here is a big tree. Here is a big tree." Where there is no tree, that tree is big tree.

4:53So when the world is finished of all intelligent men, George Harrison is big man, George [sic] Ginsberg is big man, John Lennon is big man. Just see.

Vedic perspective on professional entertainers

5:10According to Vedic civilization they are fourth-class men. This dramatic art was being done by a professional fourth-class man. Nāṭaka, vidagadha[?].

5:31Just like Kṛṣṇa was taking bath with His friends, and there were some professional musician. They were playing music. And after taking bath, all the clothes were given to them. [break] [end]
