Srila Bhaktivinoda thakur writes in Sri Caitanya Siksamrta:

 

Those of brahminical nature are qualified for brahmacarya. The brahmacari is

of controlled mind, proper, gentle conduct, accepts bodily austerities, and

stays in the gurukula until his studies are completed. Then, after giving

the guru a donation, with his permission, he may get married. It is written

in the Caitanya-Caritamrta, in praise of Murari Gupta's behavior:

"He never accepted things from others, but maintained his family by his own

endeavors."

 

Elsewhere the Thakur writes that those with a brahminical nature are

qualified for brahmancari and sanyasa ashrams, where they are free to

wander.

 

And of course, no one has to be married if they are not suited to it. The

qulifications for someone to me married is that they should have good

health, ability to earn, and a nature suitable for living with a woman.

 

Your servant,

bhakta jason
