Objection to the Casual Remarks of Supreme Court Judges

Affecting the institution of Marriage

----------------
Nellore, March 26:
Kurtalam Peethadhipathi Sri Siddeswara-nanda Bharati Mahaswami has stressed the need for legislation against pre-marital physical relationships while reacting to the Supreme Court’s recent observations on the issue.

The seer expressed his views on the subject while speaking to reporters here on Friday.

The Swamiji said the court’s interpretation on the relationship of Lord Sri Krishna and Radha is not correct since Sri Krishna and Radha never had physical relationship. He said that there was no evidence for their association in the manner quoted in most revered epics such as Brahma Vyvartha Purana, Garga Samhita, Padma Puranam and Devi Bhagavatham.

“Sri Krishna and Radha are divine and beyond human traits such as Kama (lust), Krodha (anger), Mada (proudness) and Matsarya (ego) and their relationship transpired when they are below 11-year-old and it came to an end when Sri Krishna went to eliminate Kamsa. Radha too went to Himalayas and took penance for 100 years before her soul left the body,” the seer asserted.

Responding to the statement made on sex before marriage, Sri Siddeswarananda Swami said that no religion will agree for such practice since it would affect the sanctity of marriage. He reminded that virginity is an important factor in Hindu culture.

He pointed to the danger for human values and morals if public welcome western culture including pre-marital sex and there is no meaning for marriage in the society. He called upon the people and the people’s representatives to oppose pre-marital sex by raising the issue in the legislative bodies and establish that it is not acceptable in any community. He said that such comments will mislead the youth.
