(HH Kadamba Kanana Swami, Radhadesh, Belgium, April 2012) Lecture: CC Madhya-lila 200-250

Marriage is not eternal. I'm sorry to break the romance but it is not eternal. Marriage is like a support situation, it's like a secondary vow. We are taking our initiation vows as the primary vows and those are essential for our going back to Godhead. Then if we have some material entanglement (in terms of desires) then all right, we get married to create a support situation. But just getting married will not take us back to Godhead. So, in that way marriage is only a secondary vow, since it is the initiation vow that is the essence.
