Already Vaisnavas?

->Kalau sudra-sambhavah. In Kali-yuga, everyone is born with the quality of

->a sudra. That means you are a sudra until you qualify yourself. By

->training, one can develop to any platform; the qualities become manifest

->with purification.

 

This is what I meant. Goal of training should be to get purified not to

remain shudra. I'm sudra myself and I want to see some trainig happeing in

Iskcon. When years ago my temple commander in Korshnas told me that he never

in his life read any book and anything he learn was by listening to others I

felt something was wrong. This is how I was incouraged not to read but work.

 

It is easy enough to set technological education by inviting outsiders etc.,

but the whole process should support and incourage training of the upper

varnas otherwise it is just opposite to VA development. It appears that when

Prabhupada was talking not about technological education, but about HOW to

be teacher, a brahmana. Learn everything to be a brahmana, not train

everyone to be a shudra: Prabhupada: Yes. Brahmana means intelligent brain.

Through an intelligent brain one can learn anything and teach anything."

Prabhupada: What is difficulty? If I teach you how to cook, is there any

difficulty? Satsvarupa: No. Prabhupada: And similarly like that. I am doing

that. I am teaching how to mop the floor... Prabhupada: I must know

everything because I am a teacher." I think it is wrong to use this quote to

support technological education in ISKCON.
