Adiyen Sri Krishna Dasan

Naishtika Brahmacaryam is the path of one who never enters into householder
life but chooses to remain as a bachelor. Pillai Lokacharya and his brother
were such.

Regarding the sins of the father going to the son ? you are confusing
Christianity with Vedanta. Each and every peson reaps the rewards of their
own karma ? no sins are tranfereable to another. Vedanta Desikan was of the
opinion that at the time of prapatti all the prapanna's sins are transfered
to those who oppose him/her - but transferal of sins is not an integral
teaching of Vedanta.

What happens to the jivatmas at the time of pralaya is merely speculative
conjecture as none of us will be aound to assess the situation and report
back to base! Theoretically at pralaya everything goes back to a latent
dormant phase - like suspended animation and then is re-projected at the
time of srishti. The problem is not what happens to the cit and acit at the
time of pralaya but the concept of "sinners". No one is a "sinner" every
single jivatman is the "body" or sarira of Sriman Narayna and is thus a
being of truth, divinity and wisdom, unfortunately the jiva's consciousness
has been contracted by Karma based upon ignorance - avidya. So as long as we
are in ignorance and performing actions out of ignorance we will contiue in
samsara even after pralaya. Sriman Narayana gives us countless opportunities
to surrender to Him and get out of Samsara ? that is the only purpose of
creation of sristhi and pralaya - this is what is important to understand -
not the administrative details!
