Why not varnasrama?

[Guest guest]

Good suggestion from Visnu Murti. A group of devotees should gather

everything Srila Prabhupada said on implementing Varnasrama in his ISKCOn

and then distill that down to a clear concise essence that can be applied.

 

Are we already appying Varnasrama and we can't see it?

 

Varnasrama must include everyone, i.e. even sudras that can't follow all the

reg principles.... but they like Krishna and his devotees...

 

Will varnasrama naturally fall into place as we expand or do we have to give

it shape?
