BHAGAVAD-GITA 1:42

 

dosair etaih kula-ghnanam

varna-sankara-karakaih

utsadyante jati-dharmah

kula-dharmas ca sasvatah

 

WORD FOR WORD

 

dosaih--by such faults; etaih--all these; kula-ghnanam--of the

destroyers of the family; varna-sankara--of unwanted children;

karakaih--which are causes; utsadyante--are devastated; jati

dharmah--community projects; kula-dharmah--family traditions;

ca--also; sasvatah--eternal.

 

TRANSLATION

 

By the evil deeds of those who destroy the family tradition and thus

give rise to unwanted children, all kinds of community projects and

family welfare activities are devastated.

 

PURPORT

 

Community projects for the four orders of human society, combined with

family welfare activities, as they are set forth by the institution of

sanatana-dharma, or varnasrama-dharma, are designed to enable the

human being to attain his ultimate salvation. Therefore, the breaking

of the sanatana-dharma tradition by irresponsible leaders of society

brings about chaos in that society, and consequently people forget the

aim of life--Visnu. Such leaders are called blind, and persons who

follow such leaders are sure to be led into chaos.
