Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Varnasrama College Diary By Rabindranatha Dasa Adhikari Monday, January 10, 2005 Today I worked on the letter that I will be sending out to let others know about the Varnasrama College and how they can help. Mother Dvarakarani said that she could do the mail out on that. I want to send out at least 100 letters. "In the system of varnasrama-dharma, which is the beginning of actual human life, small boys after five years of age are sent to become brahmacari at the guru's asrama, where these things are systematically taught to boys, be they king's sons or sons of ordinary citizens. The training was compulsory not only to create good citizens of the state, but also to prepare the boy's future life for spiritual realization. The irresponsible life of sense enjoyment was unknown to the children of the followers of the varnasrama system. The boy was even injected with spiritual acumen before being placed by the father in the womb of the mother. Both the father and the mother were responsible for the boy's success in being liberated from the material bondage. That is the process of successful family planning. It is to beget children for complete perfection. Without being self-controlled, without being disciplined and without being fully obedient, no one can become successful in following the instructions of the spiritual master, and without doing so, no one is able to go back to Godhead." --Bhag. 1.5.24P SB 1.5.25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
