It is all over Srila Prabhupada's books. Srila Prabhupada didn't write his

books because he had nothing better to do or to entertain us by writing

about Vedic/Brahminical culture, an old culture that had been relevant once

in the past but not any more. This brahminical culture is obviously the end

goal of our preaching. That is the social arrangement for maintaining

Krishna consciousness all over the world. Just have a look at the passage

from the Bhagavatam sent by Balabadra Prabhu (SB 8.24.5). Also please read

the quotes I sent about Terrible Industrial Enterprises

(http://www.sastradana.com/html/articles/terribleindustrialenterprises.htm).

On top of that I also sent the text by Hridayananda Maharaja

(http://www.sastradana.com/html/articles/varnashramahdg.htm). It seems

pretty clear.

 

Again, we use computers, cars, and other such products only to preach

Krishna consciousness. But once you establish agrarian based civilization

all over the world these things will start dying out. After all Srila

Prabhupada said that "the modernized drilling of the earth to exploit oil

from within is a sort of disturbance by the modern demons and can result in

a greatly harmful reaction to the floating condition of the earth." Without

that oil how can you have motor cars, car tires, and the rest of the plastic

rubbish including computers?
