"<i>Sanātana-dharma</i> means devotional service. The word <i>sanātana</i> refers to that which is eternal, which does not change but continues in all circumstances. We have several times explained what the eternal occupational duty of the living being is. Indeed, it has been explained by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. <i>Jīvera 'svarūpa' haya—kṛṣṇera 'nitya-dāsa': </i>the real occupational duty of the living entity is to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Even if one prefers to deviate from this principle he remains a servant because that is his eternal position; but one serves <i>māyā,</i> the illusory, material energy. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, therefore, is an attempt to guide human society to serving the Personality of Godhead instead of serving the material world with no real profit. Our actual experience is that every man, animal, bird and beast—indeed, every living entity—is engaged in rendering service. Even though one's body or one's superficial religion may change, every living entity is always engaged in the service of someone. Therefore, the mentality of service is called the eternal occupational duty. This eternal occupational duty can be organized through the institution of <i>varṇāśrama,</i> in which there are four <i>varṇas</i> (<i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> and <i>śūdra</i>) and four <i>āśramas</i> (<i>brahmacarya, gṛhastha, vānaprastha</i> and <i>sannyāsa</i>). Thus, Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja inquired from Nārada Muni about the principles of <i>sanātana-dharma</i> for the benefit of human society."

"Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja knew that Nārada Muni is the supreme spiritual master of human society who can teach the path of spiritual liberation leading to the understanding of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Actually, it is for this purpose that Nārada Muni compiled his <i>Bhakti-sūtra</i> and gave directions in the <i>Nārada-pañcarātra.</i> To learn about religious principles and the perfection of life, one must take instruction from the disciplic succession of Nārada Muni. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is directly in the line of the Brahma-sampradāya. Nārada Muni received instructions from Lord Brahmā and in turn transmitted the instructions to Vyāsadeva. Vyāsadeva instructed his son Śukadeva Gosvāmī, who spoke <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is based on <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> and <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> Because <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> was spoken by Śukadeva Gosvāmī and <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> was spoken by Kṛṣṇa, there is no difference between them. If we strictly follow the principle of disciplic succession, we are certainly on the right path of spiritual liberation, or eternal engagement in devotional service."

"As stated by Yamarāja, <i>dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam.</i> Yamarāja, the representative of the Lord who takes care of the living beings after their death, gives his verdict as to how and when the living being will change his body. He is the authority, and he says that the religious principles consist of the codes and laws given by God. No one can manufacture religion, and therefore manufactured religious systems are rejected by the followers of the Vedic principles. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15) it is said, <i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ:</i> Vedic knowledge means to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, whether one speaks of the <i>Vedas,</i> scriptures, religion or the principles of everyone's occupational duty, all of them must aim at understanding Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (1.2.6) therefore concludes:",
|
||||
"<i>sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo<br/> yato bhaktir adhokṣaje<br/> ahaituky apratihatā<br/> yayātmā suprasīdati</i>",
|
||||
"In other words, religious principles aim at learning how to render transcendental loving service to the Lord. That service must be unmotivated and unchecked by material conditions. Then human society will be happy in all respects.",
|
||||
"The <i>smṛti,</i> the scriptures following the principles of Vedic knowledge, are considered the evidence of Vedic principles. There are twenty different types of scripture for following religious principles, and among them the scriptures of Manu and Yājñavalkya are considered to be all-pervading authorities. In the <i>Yājñavalkya-smṛti</i> it is said:",
|
||||
"<i>śruti-smṛti-sadācāraḥ<br/> svasya ca priyam ātmanaḥ<br/> samyak saṅkalpajaḥ kāmo<br/> dharma-mūlam idaṁ smṛtam</i>",
|
||||
"One should learn human behavior from <i>śruti,</i> the <i>Vedas,</i> and from <i>smṛti,</i> the scriptures following the Vedic principles. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī in his <i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu </i>[1.2.101] says:",
|
||||
"<i>śruti-smṛti-purāṇādi-<br/> pañcarātra-vidhiṁ vinā<br/> aikāntikī harer bhaktir<br/> utpātāyaiva kalpate</i>",
|
||||
"The purport is that to become a devotee one must follow the principles laid down in <i>śruti</i> and <i>smṛti.</i> One must follow the codes of the <i>Purāṇas</i> and the <i>pāñcarātrikī-vidhi.</i> One cannot be a pure devotee without following the <i>śruti</i> and <i>smṛti,</i> and the <i>śruti</i> and <i>smṛti</i> without devotional service cannot lead one to the perfection of life.",
|
||||
"Therefore, from all the evidence the conclusion is that without <i>bhakti,</i> devotional service, there is no question of religious principles. God is the central figure in the performance of religious principles. Almost everthing going on in this world as religion is devoid of any idea of devotional service and is therefore condemned by the verdict of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> Without devotional service, so-called religious principles are only cheating."

"In order that human beings be distinct from the animals, the great saint Nārada recommends that every human being be educated in terms of the above-mentioned thirty qualifications. Nowadays there is propaganda everywhere, all over the world, for a secular state, a state interested only in mundane activities. But if the citizens of the state are not educated in the above-mentioned good qualities, how can there be happiness? For example, if the total populace is untruthful, how can the state be happy? Therefore, without consideration of one's belonging to a sectarian religion, whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or any other sect, everyone should be taught to become truthful. Similarly, everyone should be taught to be merciful, and everyone should observe fasting on certain days of the month. Everyone should bathe twice a day, cleanse his teeth and body externally, and cleanse his mind internally by remembering the holy name of the Lord. The Lord is one, whether one is Hindu, Muslim or Christian. Therefore, one should chant the holy name of the Lord, regardless of differences in linguistic pronunciation. Also, everyone should be taught to be very careful not to discharge semen unnecessarily. This is very important for all human beings. If semen is not discharged unnecessarily, one becomes extremely strong in memory, determination, activity and the vitality of one's bodily energy. Everyone should also be taught to be simple in thought and feeling and satisfied in body and mind. These are the general qualifications of a human being. There is no question of a secular state or an ecclesiastical state. Unless one is educated in the above-mentioned thirty qualities, there cannot be any peace. Ultimately it is recommended:",

"\"In one who has unflinching devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, all the good qualities of Kṛṣṇa and the demigods are consistently manifest. However, he who has no devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no good qualifications because he is engaged by mental concoction in material existence, which is the external feature of the Lord.\" (<i>Bhāg. </i>5.18.12) Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, therefore, is all-embracing. Human civilization should take it very seriously and practice its principles for the peace of the world."

"After giving a general list of thirty qualifications for one's behavior, Nārada Muni now describes the principles of the four <i>varṇas</i> and four <i>āśramas.</i> A human being must be trained in the above-mentioned thirty qualities; otherwise, he is not even a human being. Then, among such qualified persons, the <i>varṇāśrama</i> process should be introduced. In the <i>varṇāśrama</i> system, the first ceremony for purification is <i>garbhādhāna,</i> which is performed with <i>mantras</i> at the time of sex for propagating a good child. One who uses sex life not for sensual pleasures but only to beget children according to the reformatory method is also accepted as a <i>brahmacārī.</i> One should not waste semen on sensual pleasure, violating the principles of Vedic life. Restraint in sex is possible, however, only when the populace is trained in the above-mentioned thirty qualities; otherwise, it is not possible. Even if one is born in a family of <i>dvijas,</i> or twiceborn, if they have not followed the reformatory process he is called a <i>dvija-bandhu</i>—not one of the twiceborn, but a friend of the twiceborn. The whole purpose of this system is to create good population. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> when women are polluted the populace is <i>varṇa-saṅkara,</i> and when the <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> population increases, the situation of the entire world becomes hellish. Therefore, all the Vedic literatures strongly warn against creating <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> population. When there is <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> population, the people cannot be properly controlled for peace and prosperity, regardless of great legislative assemblies, parliaments and similar bodies."

By teaching, by inducing others to worship the Deity, and by accepting gifts, the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> receive the necessities of life. This is also confirmed in the <i>Manu-saṁhitā:</i>",

"Of the six occupational duties of the <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> three are compulsory—namely, worship of the Deity, study of the <i>Vedas</i> and the giving of charity. In exchange, a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> should receive charity, and this should be his means of livelihood. A <i>brāhmaṇa</i> cannot take up any professional occupational duty for his livelihood. The <i>śāstras</i> especially stress that if one claims to be a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> he cannot engage in the service of anyone else; otherwise he at once falls from his position and becomes a <i>śūdra.</i> Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī belonged to a very respectful family, but because they engaged in the service of Nawab Hussain Shah—not even as ordinary clerks, but as ministers—they were ostracized from brahminical society. Indeed, they became like Mohammedans and even changed their names. Unless a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> is very pure, he cannot accept charity from others. Charity should be given to those who are pure. Even if one is born in a family of <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> if one acts as a <i>śūdra</i> one cannot accept charity, for this is strictly prohibited. Although the <i>kṣatriyas</i> are almost as qualified as the <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> even they cannot accept charity. This is strictly prohibited in this verse by the word <i>apratigraha.</i> What to speak of the lower social orders, even the <i>kṣatriyas</i> must not accept charity. The king or government may levy taxes upon the citizens in various ways—by revenue duties, customs duties, realization of fines, and so on—provided the king is able to give full protection to his subjects to assure the security of their life and property. Unless he is able to give protection, he cannot levy taxes. However, a king must not levy any tax upon the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and the Vaiṣṇavas fully engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

Sometimes <i>brāhmaṇas</i> protest against our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement for creating <i>brāhmaṇas</i> from Europeans, or, in other words, from <i>mlecchas</i> and <i>yavanas.</i> This movement, however, is here supported in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> At the present moment, society is in a chaotic condition, and everyone has given up the cultivation of spiritual life, which is especially meant for the <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Because spiritual culture has been stopped all over the world, there is now an emergency, and therefore it is now time to train those who are considered lower and condemned, so that they may become <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and take up the work of spiritual progress. The spiritual progress of human society has been stopped, and this should be considered an emergency. Here is solid support from Nārada Muni of the movement known as Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

"As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.13), <i>cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ:</i> the four divisions of human society were created by the Supreme Lord according to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them. Formerly, the principle of dividing human society into four sections—<i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> and <i>śūdra</i>—was strictly followed, but because of gradual neglect of the <i>varṇāśrama</i> principles, <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> population developed, and the entire institution has now been lost. In this age of Kali, practically everyone is a <i>śūdra</i> (<i>kalau śūdra-sambhavāḥ</i>), and finding anyone who is a <i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya</i> or <i>vaiśya</i> is very difficult. Although the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a movement of <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas, it is trying to reestablish the divine <i>varṇāśrama</i> institution, for without this division of society there cannot be peace and prosperity anywhere."

"It is very important for peaceful householder life that a woman follow the vow of her husband. Any disagreement with the husband's vow will disrupt family life. In this regard, Cāṇakya Paṇḍita gives a very valuable instruction: <i>dampatyoḥ kalaho nāsti tatra śrīḥ svayam āgatāḥ.</i> When there are no fights between husband and wife, the goddess of fortune automatically comes to the home. A woman's education should be conducted along the lines indicated in this verse. The basic principle for a chaste woman is to be always favorably disposed toward her husband. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (1.40) it is said, <i>strīṣu duṣṭāsu vārṣṇeya jāyate varṇa-saṅkaraḥ:</i> if the women are polluted, there will be <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> population. In modern terms, the <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> are the hippies, who do not follow any regulative injunctions. Another explanation is that when the population is <i>varṇa-saṅkara,</i> no one can know who is on what platform. The <i>varṇāśrama</i> system scientifically divides society into four <i>varṇas</i> and four <i>āśramas,</i> but in <i>varṇa-saṅkara</i> society there are no such distinctions, and no one can know who is who. In such a society, no one can distinguish between a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> a <i>kṣatriya,</i> a <i>vaiśya</i> and a <i>śūdra.</i> For peace and happiness in the material world, the <i>varṇāśrama</i> institution must be introduced. The symptoms of one's activities must be defined, and one must be educated accordingly. Then spiritual advancement will automatically be possible."

"According to the injunction of Yājñavalkya, an authority on religious principles, <i>āśuddheḥ sampratikṣyo hi mahāpātaka-dūṣitaḥ.</i> One is considered contaminated by the reactions of great sinful activities when one has not been purified according to the methods of the <i>daśa-vidhā-saṁskāra.</i> In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> however, the Lord says, <i>na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ:</i> \"Those miscreants who do not surrender unto Me are the lowest of mankind.\" The word <i>narādhama</i> means \"nondevotee.\" Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu also said [<i>Antya</i> 4.67], <i>yei bhaje sei baḍa, abhakta—hīna, chāra.</i> Anyone who is a devotee is sinless. One who is not a devotee, however, is the most fallen and condemned. It is recommended, therefore, that a chaste wife not associate with a fallen husband. A fallen husband is one who is addicted to the four principles of sinful activity—namely illicit sex, meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. Specifically, if one is not a soul surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is understood to be contaminated. Thus a chaste woman is advised not to agree to serve such a husband. It is not that a chaste woman should be like a slave while her husband is <i>narādhama,</i> the lowest of men. Although the duties of a woman are different from those of a man, a chaste woman is not meant to serve a fallen husband. If her husband is fallen, it is recommended that she give up his association. Giving up the association of her husband does not mean, however, that a woman should marry again and thus indulge in prostitution. If a chaste woman unfortunately marries a husband who is fallen, she should live separately from him. Similarly, a husband can separate himself from a woman who is not chaste according to the description of the <i>śāstra.</i> The conclusion is that a husband should be a pure Vaiṣṇava and that a woman should be a chaste wife with all the symptoms described in this regard. Then both of them will be happy and make spiritual progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

A woman should serve her husband as faithfully as the goddess of fortune. A man should be an ideal servant of the Lord, and a woman should be an ideal wife like the goddess of fortune.

"Herein it is clearly stated by Nārada Muni that one should not be accepted as a <i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> or <i>śūdra</i> according to birth, for although this is going on now, it is not accepted by the <i>śāstras.</i> As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.13), <i>cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ.</i> Thus the four divisions of society—<i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> and <i>śūdra</i>—are to be ascertained according to qualities and activities. If one was born in a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> family and has acquired the brahminical qualifications, he is to be accepted as a <i>brāhmaṇa;</i> otherwise, he should be considered a <i>brahma-bandhu.</i> Similarly, if a <i>śūdra</i> acquires the qualities of a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> although he was born in a <i>śūdra</i> family, he is not a <i>śūdra;</i> because he has developed the qualities of a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> he should be accepted as a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant to develop these brahminical qualities. Regardless of the community in which one was born, if one develops the qualities of a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> he should be accepted as a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> and he then may be offered the order of <i>sannyāsa.</i> Unless one is qualified in terms of the brahminical symptoms, one cannot take <i>sannyāsa.</i> In designating a person a <i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> or <i>śūdra,</i> birth is not the essential symptom. This understanding is very important. Herein Nārada Muni distinctly says that one may be accepted according to the caste of his birth if he has the corresponding qualifications, but otherwise he should not. One who has attained the qualifications of a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> regardless of where he was born, should be accepted as a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Similarly, if one has developed the qualities of a <i>śūdra</i> or a <i>caṇḍāla,</i> regardless of where he was born, he should be accepted in terms of those symptoms."
