"Lord Ramacandra became King during Treta-yuga, but because of His good

government, the age was like Satya-yuga. Everyone was religious and

completely happy. Among the four yugas--Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali--the

Kali-yuga is the worst, but if the process of varnasrama-dharma is

introduced, even in this age of Kali, the situation of Satya-yuga can be

invoked. The Hare Krsna movement, or Krsna consciousness movement, is meant

for this purpose." S.B. 9.10.51

 

"The Vedic system of varna and asrama is never to be neglected because the

divisions are created by the Supreme Lord Himself for the upkeep of social

and religious order in human society. The brahmanas, as the intelligent

class in human society, must be avowed to steadily respect the regulative

principle. The tendency in this age of Kali to make a classless society and

not observe the principles of varna and asrama is a manifestation of an

impossible dream. Destruction of the social and spiritual orders will not

bring fulfillment of the idea of a classless society. One should observe the

principles of varna and asrama strictly for the satisfaction of the creator,

for it is stated in the Bg by Lord Krsna that the four orders of the social

system... are His creation." SB 4.6.44
