Prabhupāda: . . . or one is situated in his external existence, if he happens to remember Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu, ''puṇḍarīkākṣam, sa bahyābhyantara-śuciḥ'' (''Garuḍa Purāṇa''), he immediately becomes purified internally and externally.

So you are getting initiation in this auspicious day when Lord Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī, His eternal consort, is now being situated, er, established, installed, on this auspicious moment, and you will be initiated to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'' in the beginning:

:''Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare''
:''Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.''

As it is indicated in this verse, one who remembers the Supreme Personality of Godhead always, he remains always purified, ''śuci. Śuci. Śuci'' means . . . another meaning of ''śuci'' is ''brāhmaṇa'', purified.

A ''brāhmaṇa'' . . . according to nature's division, there are four classes of men: the ''brāhmaṇa'', the ''kṣatriyas'', the ''vaiśyas ''and the ''śūdra''. Brāhmaṇa means the intellectual class of men who knows hygienic rules, keeps himself always purified and engaged in studying Vedic literatures for understanding this world, God, himself, the interrelation. They are called ''brāhmaṇa''. And the ''kṣatriya'' means those who live their life under the instruction of the ''brahmin'' but they are engaged in administration of the state, they are called ''kṣatriyas''. Then ''vaiśyas'', still less intelligent class.

The ''brāhmaṇa'' is the first-intelligent class of men, the ''kṣatriyas'' the next intelligent class of men, and the ''vaiśyas'', or the mercantile class of men, interested in money by trade, commerce, agriculture, industry, they are called ''vaiśyas''. So next, the last class is called ''śūdra''. ''Śūdra ''means workers. They haven't got much intelligence, neither they can work as administrator or traders, but they work and get some salary. They are called ''śūdras''.

So ''śuci'' means the first-class intellectual class of men. So anyone who is always chanting the holy name of God and keeps himself purified, he is ''śuci. Śuci'' means the first-class purified intelligent class of man. So they are called ''brāhmaṇas'' in Sanskrit. So it is not that the ''brāhmaṇas'' are to be found in India only. Any intelligent class of men, anyone who takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is ''brahmin''.

In this initiation ceremony there will be some persons who will be initiated for chanting the holy name, and some of them will be initiated for the second time. They were initiated before for chanting the holy name; now they will be initiated with a sacred thread. Sacred thread means recognition of complete brahminical culture.
