If we follow Kṛṣṇa, not only we are chanting:
- Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare
- Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare
but we have to follow the principles laid down in the Bhagavad-gītā. That will make our life successful. Practically we have to apply this, have to apply the principles. Otherwise the whole attempt will be failure. That is explained in the next verse:
- utsīdeyur ime lokā
- na kuryāṁ karma ced aham
- saṅkarasya ca kartā syām
- upahanyām imāḥ prajāḥ
- (BG 3.24)
"If I do not place idea before the living entities, prajā . . ." Prajā means those who have taken birth, they are called prajā. Ja means birth. Ja. Janma, janma. And prajā, prakṛṣṭa-rūpeṇa ja. Anyone, prajā . . . just like in a state it is called prajā, or citizens, who have taken the birth in that particular place. So similarly, Lord Kṛṣṇa says that "If I do not set example in My life, then there will be unwanted population."
Unwanted population. And actually that has become now in the present world. By not following the principles of God consciousness, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we have got now unwanted population. Unwanted population. Here it is plainly written, saṅkarasya ca kartā syām. Saṅkarasya ca means cross-breeding. Saṅkarasya.
According to Vedic rites, the breeding of child is very nicely enunciated. That is called garbhādhāna-saṁskāra. Garbhādhāna-saṁskāra. Before begetting a child, one has to perform some ceremonies just to make his mind completely pure and sanctified. Both the husband and wife become sanctified, and then they take part in sex life, and that child becomes . . . comes out a very nice child.
