Question: I am engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness through the gṛhastha āśrama. How will I properly and gradually become detached from family at the right time and take vanaprasta or go to some ISKCON temple and completely surrender my life for Kṛṣṇa?

Jayapatākā Swami: If your wife is favorable in your devotional service then it is not necessary to give up family in this way. I don’t know how old you are. The vanaprastha can still be practiced with husband and wife. But one has to be completely freed from sex life...
