According to Vedic vidhi, or in the Vedic way . . . just like we are initiating. Nobody can be initiated unless they . . . he is born of high family. His father must have been brahmin, kṣatriya or vaiśya; then he can be initiated. But pāñcarātrika-vidhi, they say, they accept, nobody is brahmin—śūdra. Everyone is śūdra—kalau śūdra-sambhava. In this age, nobody is actually born of a brahmin family or kṣatriya family. That is accepted. Because nobody is keeping up their standard.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu's process is that if anyone is a little inclined to Kṛṣṇa, so we should give him all facilities to become . . . develop Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is pāñcarātrika-vidhi. According to Vedic vidhi, or in the Vedic way . . . just like we are initiating. Nobody can be initiated unless they . . . he is born of high family.

His father must have been brahmin, kṣatriya or vaiśya; then he can be initiated. But pāñcarātrika-vidhi, they say, they accept, nobody is brahmin—śūdra. Everyone is śūdra—kalau śūdra-sambhava. In this age, nobody is actually born of a brahmin family or kṣatriya family. That is accepted. Because nobody is keeping up their standard.

They are simply following some false prestige. So therefore the pāñcarātrika-vidhi, they do not recognize anybody as qualified brahmin. Everyone śūdra, beginning from the lowest stage. Get him conversant in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and then initiated, and gradually elevate him by this process.

So our this Kṛṣṇa conscious movement is based on this process, that we accept everyone as lowborn. Even if he is . . . my Guru Mahārāja, even if he is born of a brahmin family, he would not recognize that he is a brāhmaṇa. He would treat him as others. And even if he had his sacred thread from his family, Guru Mahārāja will say, "Throw it away. Take new thread." Yes.
