Isn't it indicative that, besides the complaints that these

have not been established yet, and hankering for having them,

none presented any idea of how to do it?

 

 

It is easy to start a temple. A few enthusiastic people come

together, and start practicing sadhana-bhakti. Some financial

questions of a self-maintenance got to be resolved, but that's

something one would anyway have to do.

 

Speaking about colleges, there you got much more conditions to

get fulfilled. I guess that is the reason why we got no such

institution so far.

 

The first one is, any college/school is a "pure" money consumer.

Even gurukulas struggles with their finances, but these got

covered basically from the side of the parents who pays for

their children. Who will pay for the schooling of the members

of the society in general? In any case, the strong society as

the base is the requirement.

 

The next one, the consistency in the flow of the students. You

can't have one day 100 and another day 50 and then 60 and then

10.

 

Then the high quality of the training/teaching that would be

*at least* concuring to the "materialistic" colleges/schools.

 

The type of training/teaching would have to be directed on

a way to unable to the most of the participants (at least) to

get the suitable job after passing through a college. Where? We

are still (compared to the actually established karmi society!)

a group of some idealistic dreamers. Still unable to give the

qualitative answer on how to properly and successfully school

our own children, what to speak of the population in general.

 

 

------------------------------

 

I have just written down here a few *questions* that are the

most basic ones. I have no actual answer on them. One could go

theorizing with some proposals and ideas, though. But that's

all one can do here in regard of "starting varnasrama colleges".

Otherwise, we go on with our "I_am_better_than_you,_prabhu" so

called discussions and debates, and blaming the ISCKON leaders

for not having done it yet.
