Namaskaaram Swamins,

Is it that atleast once in earlier Janmas, a person shd hv undergone marriage, for moksha?

I have heard some thing of the above kind. Is it true?

I do note listening to our Swamy’s talks that Bhagawan does not discriminate based on marriage status, while granting Moksha/Mukthi.

Thanks, in advance.

Adiyen Ramanujadasan.

RS Swami,

Have never heard of anything like that in our Swami’s upanyasams or come across it in the scriptures.

That should have been a “Matrimonial Advertisement”

Namaskaaram Swamy(s).
Thanks for the replies, including an hilarious one.
(May be from the angle of wishes getting exhausted, it may have relevance, not sure).

May be from the angle of wishes getting exhaustedFrom RS

Oh! wishes do not get exhausted swamy! Never! They only grow bigger and bigger, like fire grows when we try to quench it with ghee!

aavrtam jnanam etena jnaanino nithya vairina / kaama roopena kaunteya duspurena analena ca. Bhagavad Gita 3.39.

This desire for quenching the demands of our senses covers our jnanam and it is our eternal enemy. Here, the word ‘duspurena’ means ‘can never be satisfied’, and the word ‘anala’ means ‘like a fire’. (in fact the etymology of the word ‘anala’ also means that which is never quenched.

 

Also, in 5.22: “ye hi samsprashaja bhogaa duhkha-yonaya eva te / aadhianta-vanta kaunteya na thesu ramate budhaa.”

The pleasures that come because of contact with our senses are source of misery (duhkha-yoni), and such feeling of pleasures are fleeting – they have a beginning (aadhi) and and end (antham). This is in striking contrast of spiritual bliss which frees us from all duhkhas, and the pleasure is endless (‘sukham akshayam‘ is the phrase used in 5.21).

adiyen dasan.

Swamy,
Many Thanks, for such a nice reply with quotes.
“Oh! wishes do not get exhausted swamy!”
True, unless we are an elevated soul like Nammazhwar (En Avaa Ara Chuzhndhaayae!).
Given this inherent nature of desire/wish, why is it that it is given significance. Bhagawan at times takes, Udhaseenan approach, let him use his will, if he is desiring materialistic things, let ME give opportunities – that is a great trap!!!
Pattu theliyattum indha jeevangal – approach. Enru thelivadhu!

Adiyen Ramanujadasan.

Marriages do provide good impetus to surrender to Lord :)- so may be a true statement logically.

True, Swamy.

Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

Speaking of surrender in marriage
A wife will easily surrender to husband
It is easy for a girl to become dependant .
So Andal had easy surrender to SriRanga Mannar
While other Azhwars had to take NAyikA BhAvan

Being with attitude male demands service. I strongly believe this attitude came from Perumal himself to us males.

That’s why wife gets half the punyam of Karma in husband’s devotional service. Logically sensible.
