Should a sri vaishnavite marry?

Swamy,
Hanuman is no doubt a sri vaishnavite and Hanuman is said to be a brahmachari. Adiyen does not know whether Hanuman is married or not. There are some stories about Hanuman’s marriage and his wife as Suvarchala. Yet these are not authentic sources and hence adiyen not considering them. But despite of his marrital status Hanuman is a brahmachari as Krishna is, by conduct and mind.

So adiyen needs to know whether Hanuman was married or not.

Adiyen see lot of variations today’s marriage. We have lost the simplicity in marriage. The factor of love is gone.

How much he earns? He is in foreign?

The purpose of marriage as told by our Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy is to do Thiru ArAdhanam. The intention is to do kainkaryam.

Hanuman is a Naishtika BrahmachAri. He is already married to SriRam. Since he already became wife he had no intention to marry another one.

So, Swami is it allowed to do any kainkaryam alone? Or is marriage must?

please listen en paNi 1144

Swamy,

Thanks for mentioning en pani 1144. It gives an hint that “It is a girl’s own wish whether to marry or not” but doesn’t know what is the stand for purushas. Many girls are said to have devoted their lives to Krishna and consider Krishna to be their pathi. But what is the case for purushas since we are required to do tiruvaaradanam and kainkaryam. Though adiyen is not refusing the fact all atmas are females yet adiyen wants to get a clear response from Swami’s side on this topic

Swamy,

Velukkudi Swamy said
If my memory is correct Hanuman did Brahmacharya declaration that he won’t marry and still retain. So Naishtika Brahmachari. Bhishma did not do any such declaration but due to circumstances he was Brahmachari.

So Namba wish dhAn. Better to marry in my opinion. Sri Vaishnava AchAryAs also need to marry then only come to SanyAsam unlike Advaitic/Shaivaite lineage where it is allowed to be sanyAsi without marriage.

Swamy,

Thank you for your great answer and for quoting reference from Swamy’s upanyasam. Really blessed to have great persons in this forum.

Regarding first point “Hanuman did bramhacharya declaration” adiyen today read in ‘Dharmashastra Surukku’ that being a brahmachari for a long time is prohibited in Kali yuga. Since Hanuman/Bhishma was a great soul they can do so that too it was not Kali yuga but don’t know what to do when it comes to atmas like adiyen in this yuga. What the Dharmashastra exactly mean by this? If anyone knows pl explain.

As for the second point “Sri Vaishnava AchAryAs also need to marry then only come to SanyAsam” this is what my mother also keeps saying ??whenever adiyen say “I am not going to marry”.

Totally confused. But thanks for providing inputs swamy.

“In ‘Dharmashastra Surukku’ that being a brahmachari for a long time is prohibited in Kali yuga, What the Dharmashastra exactly mean by this? If anyone knows pl explain.”

Swamy,
Adiyen can interpret this. In Kali Yugam dharma % is less. The Kali purusha power is more. This is Yuga Dharma. Parkshit had given him rights. In earlier Yugas people were afraid to do adharma. in Kali people mis-interpret dharma itself.

So it is difficult or next to impossible to supress Kamam in Kali yugam with respect to all other Yugas. Such Kamam must be streamlined to Krishna Kamam towards Krishana. This is possible.

So therefore, having a wife and leading a satisfactory life and avoiding any pitfalls is best recommended in Kali.

I am sure this won’t be a subject of open discussion.

Any elders can correct any mistakes but this is my opinion.

The places he went was full of rain.
