Re: Polygamy and Hinduism
Just because the men in the stories/histories had multiple wives does not mean that the scriptures are telling us we can or should. That was simply the culture of that time and it has been documented.
"For a bewildered person in the materialistic way of life, the body, the mind and the senses, which are engaged in sense gratification, are the cause of bondage to repeated birth, death, old age and disease. But for one who is advanced in spiritual knowledge, the same body, senses and mind are the cause of liberation"
Prabhupada.
