Ajamila's point to define clearly what is Varnasrama is a very valid point.

We have a wealth of knowledge in Prabhupada's books on the subject but I

have failed to see as yet serious study of the subject matter, that not only

does the research properly but also has the program to teach and train the

clear conclusions that are found. Thus we have no clear well developed

stategy to get the devotees to buy into.

 

I have been pondering over the need of a proper research facility to do just

this, and have even been considering to work with serious devotees to get it

rolling.

 

Please dear readers let me know what you think of this, and how does this

sound:

 

Create the "Bhaktivedanta Research Academy for Varnasrama Leadership And

Management (BRAVLAM)

 

I also see that this body could also be very helpful in developing a proper

constitution for a Krsna conscious society based on the principles of

Varnasrama dharma and the sankirtana yajna.

 

On this holy day of Srila Prabhupada's appearance day any thoughts on this

would be appreciated.

 

Your servant in the mission of Srila Prabhupada,
