...it is possible and people will be happy

[Guest guest]

"Prabhupada: Yes. In the... For the big scale, this is the required. In big

scale you cannot make all of them as brahmanas or sannyasis. No. That is not

possible. This is a small scale. How many percentage of people of the world we

are controlling? Very insignificant. But if you want to make the whole human

society perfect, then this Krishna

consciousness movement should be introduced according to the Krishna's

instruction, if you want to do it in a large scale for the benefit of the

whole human society. Now we are picking up some of them, best. That is another

thing. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu said para-upakara. Why a certain section should

be picked up? The whole mass of people will get the benefit of it. Then it is

required, systematic. Sve sve karmany abhiratah samsiddhim labhate narah.

Para-upakara means mass benefit, not there is certain section. Then we have to

introduce this

varnashrama-dharma. It must be done perfectly, and it is possible and people

will be happy."

Aaahhh.... That's one of the great varnasrama quotes of all times:

 

1. Varnasrama is possible.

 

2. People will be happy. (Sarve sukhino bhavantu)

 

3. It must be done perfectly.

 

Number three is definitely the catch. If it's not done perfectly, the people

will

suffer hellish misery. And, it can't be done perfectly without excellent

training, hence: the varnasrama college:

 

*******************

As there are schools and colleges to train students to become chemical

engineers,

lawyers or specialists in many other departments of knowledge, there must be

schools and colleges to train students to become brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas,

sudras, brahmacaris, grhasthas, vanaprasthas and sannyasis.

 

S.B. 9.10.50 purport

 

*******************

 

......or, in sum, as Srila Prabhupada put it on another occasion:

 

*****************************************

 

Vedic civilization is training.

 

-- Washington, D.C., 8 July 1976

My humble suggestion: the preliminary step to creating a varnasrama college is

to

study all the "Prabhupada said's" on varnasrama. I humbly urge devotees to

begin

this process by reading the ISKCON Farm Research Committee's compilation:

*Srila

Prabhupada on Varnasrama and Farm Community Development: Vol. 1: Speaking

about

Varnasrama* 40 conversations, lectures and interviews on varnasrama-related

topics - a relishable compilation of "Prabhupada said's" -- now available from

The

Bhaktivedanta Archives, 278 pages, illustrated. archives (AT) earthlink (DOT) net
