Woman duties

🌷  Narad Muni instructs Maharaj Yudisthira about the qualities of a chaste woman as well as her duties in Vedic culture.

  1. To render service to the husband
  2. To be always favorably disposed toward the husband
  3.  To be equally well disposed toward the husband’s relatives and friends and
  4.  To follow the vows of the husband
*these are the four principles to be followed by women described as chaste.*

It is very important for peaceful householder life that a woman follow the vow of her husband. *Any disagreement with the husband’s vow will disrupt family life.* 

In this regard, Canakya Pandita gives a very valuable instruction:

 dampatyoh kalaho nasti tatra srih svayam agatah. 

*When there are no fights between husband and wife, the goddess of fortune automatically comes to the home.*

 ... ...For peace and happiness in the material world, the varnasrama institution must be introduced. The symptoms of one’s activities must be defined, and one must be educated accordingly. Then spiritual advancement will automatically be possible.
(SB 7.11.25)🌷 HARE KRISHNA! DANDVAT PRANAM!! SUPRABHATAM!!!
