Area Grhasta Vows to Speak to No Woman Except Wife

Area Grhasta Vows to Speak to No Woman Except Wife

SAYER, MD – Area grhasta, Krsnakarna dasa, vowed this past Ekadasi to speak to no women, apart from his wife. The decision came after realizing the pujari service he was doing brought him into contact with several women, which would naturally lead to a fall down.

“If I were to even talk to one woman, soon we would be having nice conversation and then, immediately there would be sexual relations, like that,” Krsnakarna said.

Krsnakarna's life is sublime since taking his vow.

“It is not that I would want to fall down,” Krsnakarna said. “I myself, though the most fallen, only desire to serve Krishna. I am concerned for these poor matajis who are not as strong in their devotion as men.”

He added: “They may see me and become agitated, immediately casting off their saris to attract me.”

When asked who would be taking care of day-to-day errands such as banking and bhoga runs, where encounters with women are most likely to occur, Krsnakarna replied, “Yes, I will simply chant very nicely on beads, like that, and Krishna will arrange nicely.”

Krishna apparently arranged for Vrnda Devi, Krishnakarna’s wife, to take care of such things. She was spotted at the local grocery store, Wal-Mart and Jiffy-lube, juggling three children, two boys and a girl, who Krsnakarna has not spoken to since Ekadasi. When asked about the arrangement, Vrnda had no comment.

It has been rumored that she is no longer speaking to Krsnakarna.

Area matajis living in the temple had mixed reaction to Krsnakarna’s vow. “Does this mean he’s going to stop preaching to the college girls?” Asked temple commander Mother Yamuna, “There are a few brahmacaris who have already volunteered to take over this service. I would ask him myself, but…”

“I guess this means that he’ll be talking about sex even more when he gives class now,” newly converted Bhaktin Jennifer said, adding “What’s up with that? It’s kind of creepy.”

Since Ekadasi, Krsnakarna has avoided all women, speaking only to his wife. This is a radical departure from the accepted ISKCON practice of speaking to all women, except the wife.

This is no spoof! It’s a true story. I know this guy! *lol* There are many krishnakarna’s hiding out.

My favorite line is, “Yes, I will simply chant very nicely on beads, like that, and Krishna will arrange nicely.”

ROFL!

I hope no many non devotees read this, otherwise they will think devotees do not respect ladies…

As a non-devotee i think it is pretty obviously humor. The logo obviously spoofs the Onion and the story is ridiculous. Honestly, anyone who would believe the story would probably be so dense and already prejudiced against the religion that it wouldn’t matter.

Every outsider who visits a temple can see that the women are often treated like crap. It’s much better preaching to point it out and have a sense of humor about it. Burying your head in the sand will only make things worse.

As a complete outsider, on another continent outsider, I thought it was tee hee hilarious. I think it should be adapted to an Adam Sandler screenplay. I sort of thought it was real and by the end pretty much assumed it was parody. It did however, conjure some flashbacks about Heaven’s Gate.

someone told me that being ironic is the result of being frustrated…
