We may inform that our disciples in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, those who are gṛhasthas, they contribute at least fifty percent of their income. Yes. Most of them, they are full-time engaged. But if one cannot be whole time engaged . . . just like we, we have got our disciple, Professor Howard Wheeler. He gives more than fifty percent of his income for developing our New Vrindavan scheme. So we try to follow these principles laid down by Rūpa Gosvāmī, that fifty percent for Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa's devotees, twenty-five percent for personal emergencies and twenty-five percent for the dependent relatives.

There are many couples here. They are married. I got them married. Sometimes I am criticized by my Godbrothers. But they do not know why I got them married. Here is a couple, Gurudāsa and his wife, Yamunā, and . . . where is Mālatī? Mālatī's not here? Eh? Mālatī and her husband, Śyāmasundara. And another couple, Jānakī and Mukunda. I sent them first, missionary, to London to start the temple. And for one year they struggled very hard, and they called me that "I started the temple."

So my Guru Mahārāja wanted to start a temple in London. He sent two sannyāsīs, but it was not possible. But these gṛhasthas, they started. So we want to see that the mission is fulfilled. It doesn't matter whether he's a gṛhastha or sannyāsī. Kibā vipra kibā śūdra nyāsī kene naya ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 8.128|CC Madhya 8.128]]). So by getting them married, I am benefited. They have helped me.
