<div class="heading">Jāta-karma ceremony. A child is born. There will be some pūjā, pāṭha, and then there will be horoscope made immediately, in what moment this child is born, what will be his feature. All the brāhmaṇas made immediately horoscope. You'll find in this Bhāgavata. This is called saṁskāra. Not that like cats and dogs they are born without any saṁskāra, and because he is born in a certain family he becomes brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya. No.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 5.5.17 -- Vrndavana, November 5, 1976|Lecture on SB 5.5.17 -- Vrndavana, November 5, 1976]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
A person born in ''brāhmaṇa ''family, if that family is strictly following the brahminical rules and regulation . . . In the ''śāstra ''it is said that in higher section, ''brāhmaṇa ''specially, if ''garbhādhāna-saṁskāra ''is not observed the whole family immediately becomes ''śūdra''. They cannot be called even ''brāhmaṇa ''family. That is the injunction of ''śāstra''. ''Saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ''. ''Daśa-vidhā-saṁskāra''. That must be strictly observed; otherwise he is ''śūdra''. ''Śūdra ''has no ''saṁskāra''. ''Śūdra ''has only one ''saṁskāra''—marriage. And the ''brāhmaṇa'', ''kṣatriya'', ''vaiśya'', they have got ''daśa-vidhā-saṁskāra''. Before birth, when the child is in the womb, there is ceremony. Then when he is born there is ceremony. Then he's little more, little more . . . Just like Parīkṣit Mahārāja, when he was born, immediately all the ''brāhmaṇas ''came, ''jāta-karma ''ceremony. A child is born, there will be some ''pūjā'', ''pāṭha'', and then there will be horoscope made immediately, in what moment this child is born, what will be his feature. All the ''brāhmaṇas ''made immediately horoscope. You'll find in this ''Bhāgavata''. This is called ''saṁskāra''. Not that like cats and dogs they are born without any ''saṁskāra'', and because he is born in a certain family he becomes ''brāhmaṇa'', ''kṣatriya'', ''vaiśya''. No.

So there must be a first-class man in the society. ''Śamo damo titikṣa''. Where is that educational institution at the present moment that "Here is a school where education is given how to become a ''brāhmaṇa''"? This is Kali-yuga. Nobody will go there. Nobody will go there. If you start a school . . . I was thinking that now, just like we are starting this ''gurukula ''to train small children how to become ''brahmacārī—brahmacārī guru-kule vasan dānto guror hitam ''([[SB 7.12.1|SB 7.12.1]])—but I am very doubtful whether people will send their children here. Because before starting this movement I wanted some boys from respectable family, that "Give me your one son. I shall train him how to become ''brāhmaṇa'', how to become preacher." Nobody gave me. They said, "Swāmījī, what they will be by becom . . ." Because they have seen the so-called ''brāhmaṇa ''begging, no education, and if there is no begging, then stealing, then cheating. So a gentleman sees that "This is ''brāhmaṇa ''in the society." You will find in Vṛndāvana so-called ''brāhmaṇa'', ''paṇḍita'', ''paṇḍas''—no education, and they do everything. It is known to everyone. So because there is no training . . . ''Paṇḍas'', they were guiding the tourists or the visitors. They were trained-up ''brāhmaṇa'', ''paṇḍitas''. Now practically higher section of the society, they do not come. One gentleman asked me in Delhi in the beginning that "Swāmījī, why you have made Vṛndāvana as your headquarters?" Because they have got a very bad experience. So even the Vṛndāvana city, you see how they are neglected. We are a little far off from the city. You go. How they are neglected city, no up-to-date gentlemen can go there because the culture is lost. And from big, big ''gosvāmīs' ''family they are becoming rogues and thieves because training is not there, training, the first-class man to train them.

So therefore it is our little attempt that to train some boys to become first-class character.'' Śamo damo titikṣa''. That is required in the society. Simply all fourth-class, fifth-class men, how the society will improve? That is not possible. And therefore, ''kas taṁ svayaṁ tad-abhijño vipaścid avidyāyām antare vartamānam''. And one who is actually educated in the Vedic knowledge, how he can say that "You are all right"? He cannot say. He gives chance for being trained to be free from the ''avidyā''. ''Avidyāyām antare''. ''Śarīra avidyā-jāl''. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung,'' śarīra avidyā-jāl''. This material body is a network of ''avidyā'', ignorance. ''Śarīra avidyā-jāl'', ''jaḍendriya tāhe kāl''. On account of this body of ''avidyā'', ignorance, the blunt senses are simply . . . They have been described sometimes as ''kāla-sarpa''. ''Kāla-sarpa indriya-paṭalī'', ''durdānta-indriya-kāla-sarpa paṭalī ''(from ''Caitanya-candrāmṛta ''5). So therefore yoga system is recommended to control this ''kāla-sarpa'', the ''indriyas''. ''Yoga indriya-saṁyamaḥ''. Real ''yoga'', ordinary ''yoga'', nobody is getting that ''yoga-siddhi'', ''aṣṭa-siddhi''. Generally the so-called ''yogīs'', they show some ''āsana'', ''dhyāna'', ''dhāraṇā'', ''praṇāyāma'', but that is meant for controlling the senses. ''Yoga indriya-saṁyamaḥ''. Without sense control nobody can make any progress in human life. ''Tapasya''. That is called ''tapasya''. The ''yoga ''is also another ''tapasya''. 

''Tapo ''. . . ''Tapasā brahmacaryeṇa ''([[Vanisource:SB 6.1.13-14|SB 6.1.13]]).</p>
