<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- April 10, 1974, Bombay|Morning Walk -- April 10, 1974, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: On this side there is government sign, "No dogs," "No dogs." Dogs are not allowed.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): What is the reason?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Dogs are disturbing to the people. They can attack any man. If one takes dog, he must lash it, chain. That is the law there. (break)</p>
<p>Indian man (4): There is no idea also. When master is there, then he can control the dog.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, the master is... He may be master of the dog, but he is not master of the world.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): But that is how he did it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is quite all right, but after all, it is dog. After all, it is dog.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): And the law also is that it should be chained. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...sometimes dog attacks the master. Not only dog, animals. (break) ...the bitterest enemies of the demons, always. That is the position. Viṣṇu-bhakto bhaved daiva āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ. So demigods, they are devotees of Viṣṇu, and they are always enemies unto the demons. (break) ...especially in the heart of the saintly person, to kill the saintly person. So Kṛṣṇa also will be killed. Because Kṛṣṇa is in everyone's heart, therefore everyone is Kṛṣṇa. The same conclusion.</p>
<p>Mahāṁsa: That does not show any logic, because He is in everybody's heart, how can anyone be Kṛṣṇa? (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He is in the heart of a dog also. Then dog is also Kṛṣṇa. So why one should go to the temple? He can worship his dog at home. If this logic is all right. (break) ...the verdict of the Rāmakrishna mission, "You can worship whatever you like. That is God." And therefore they have manufactured this word, daridra-nārāyaṇa. (break) Jāta-karma-saṁskāra, saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ. Saṁskāra, reformatory method, begins before the birth. Before the birth, when the father and mother have sex, that is called garbhādhāna-saṁskāra. That is also another ceremony. It is not a hidden fact. So saṁskārad bhaved dvijaḥ. Otherwise it is birth like cats and dogs. That is Vedic civlization, saṁskāra before the birth and immediately after the birth, then one after another. This is called jata-karma; then nāma-karma; then when he is grown boy, upanayana-saṁskāra, dīkṣā-saṁskāra; then when he is grown up and marriage... Marriage is also another saṁskāra. In this way there are daśa-vidha-saṁskāra. So unless one goes through all the saṁskāras, he is not accepted as higher caste. He is śūdra. In a brāhmaṇa family, if the garbhādhāna-saṁskāra is not taken, so it is said that immediately the whole family becomes śūdra, no more brāhmaṇas. Then where is garbhādhāna-saṁskāra is going on? Nobody takes care of garbhādhāna-saṁskāra. Still, they are declaring that "I am brāhmaṇa." Therefore the conclusion is kālau śūdra-sambhavaḥ: "Everyone is śūdra." (break) ...no education. Still, one is called paṇḍitji. What is the meaning of this "paṇḍitji?" If he is not learned, then why do you call him paṇḍitji? (laughing) (break) That paṇḍiya is also another form of paṇḍita.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): (indistinct)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. From paṇḍiya, paṇḍiya. From paṇḍitya, from paṇḍitya, it comes paṇḍiya.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): He is not a paṇḍita. He is a pukka businessman.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Mean, I say this is going on. But śāstra says if one is engaged in a particular type of occupation, he should be called that. Yasya hi yal-lakṣaṇaṁ proktaṁ varṇābhivyañ-jakam. To designate into certain type of varṇa, there are symptoms. That symptoms, yadi anyatra vidhiṣyeta, if it is found somewhere else, tat tenaiva vinirdiśet ([[Vanisource:SB 7.11.35|SB 7.11.35]]), one should ascertain by the symptoms. This is the sastric injunction.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): According to the work it is known.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Even a man is born in the brāhmaṇa family, but if he is working as something else, so he should be... Practically also... Just like somebody is paṇḍita, brāhmaṇa, but if he is doing the work of an engineer or doctor, he is addressed as "Doctor Saheb." That is practical. "Doctor Saheb. Engineer Saheb." Not "Paṇḍitji."</p>
<p>Indian man (5): By birth he may be brāhmaṇa like that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. No. By birth, there is no brāhmaṇa. By saṁskāra. Saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ. That is...</p>
<p>Indian man (4): Birthright is not brāhmaṇa. No birthright.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): Provided he has got the particular saṁskāra. (Hindi) That is the beginning of it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ah, that is the beginning of saṁskāra. There is regular ceremony.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): But a very few people nowadays...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Still in Bengal, when the husband meets first the wife, there is saṁskāra. There is regular pūjā, patha. Then the husband and wife meet together. We had the same saṁskāra in our family. It was going on. When we were young man, it was going on.</p>
<p>Indian man (4): Semen ceremony.</p>
<p>Indian man (6): Semen means before the birth.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): After pregnancy, eight or nine months, something like that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is ṣaḍ-lakṣana. That is another thing. Before sex, there is a ceremony. That is called garbhādhāna. (break)</p>
<p>Śrīdhara: "...ceremony takes place after the birth of the child. The family members take baths, cleanse themselves, and decorate themselves with ornaments and garlands. Then they come before the child and the astrologer to hear the future life of the child. Nanda Mahārāja and other members of the family dressed and sat down in front of the birthplace. All the brāhmaṇas who were assembled there on this occasion chanted auspicious mantras." (break)</p>
