Sometimes I hear a funny type of terms about relationships such as ‘short-term relationship’, ‘long-term relationship’ or ‘open relationship’. I don’t understand how a relationship could be successful with this kind of conditions. And it doesn’t matter if it is short-term or long-term. What does it really mean and what is the definition of long-term?
Bonding a relation in terms like this shows your insecurity and your doubts about your relationship. It gives the impression of a contract. This maybe suits business relations but it doesn’t fit if you want to establish a relation on the physical, emotional and soul level.
‘Open relation’ also seems like you are looking for a good opportunity for business in the name of freedom. It can be fine in a business relation to go and buy there wherever you get the best deal but this concept cannot be really successful when you are thinking of love. When you have a physical relation with someone, it brings an emotional connection and an emotional relation requires physical closeness. Both of it leads you towards making a stronger connection on the soul level. But surely, it doesn’t work in this way if you give it the condition and limit of one night beforehand. This, called a ‘one-night stand’, is also popular these days in our society. I do not see a one-night stand as something bad and I am not against it. Maybe I will talk a bit more about this topic another time.
Tomorrow is a special day for the pilgrims. Thousands of people will do the Parikrama of 9 kilometers around Vrindavan. We will distribute breakfast for them and will show that in a live broadcast over the internet. Tomorrow you can click here to see the pilgrims and us.

that is strange, should ALL relationships be open with dedication?
Terms like open relationship, in my experience, limit a relationship. And limitless relationships full of boundless love and joy begin and last without a name. Devotion and dedication come naturally (I don’t mean they don’t take effort).
Relationships can’t survive under the pressure of labels.
All relationships are open, long term, and short term at any given time.
