Question: When there is different initiating guru for husband and wife, then how to maintain unity within grihasta ashrama? Can we recite each other’s pranam mantra? Could we offer daily obeisances to both gurus?

Jayapataka Swami: Ideally, if a couple has different diksa gurus, if each can accept the other’s guru as siksa guru, that is ideal. We have a couple in Houston, Texas. Kalasudha devi dasi and Advaita Candra das. Kalasudha was initiated by me and Advaita Candra is initiated by Radhanath Swami. There are many pictures of me and Radhanath Swami embracing each other and posing together. He is one of my dear godbrothers and dear friend so all over the house they have pictures of him and me. So I accept Advaita Candra as my siksa disciple and I am sure that my disciple also serves other Prabhupada disciples very sincerely. So that is one way that it is done.
