College means for grown-up students.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Is there a minimum age for beginning such a college?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Ten to twelve years.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: They can start at ten to twelve?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. From five to ten years, gurukula. And after ten years, they should go to the varṇāśrama college.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: New Vrindaban would be an ideal place in America for such a school.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Organize that.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. I shall go.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: This Mahārāja is also going to New Vrindaban.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: He can...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Do that. Kīrtanānanda Mahārāja, you, and combined together, do that.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: We have got so many duties to do. Don't waste time, a single moment. And don't eat more and don't sleep more. Then you'll be able to work.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: And this is the most auspicious work for now, is this remedial measure of...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: This is the most auspicious work for now, is this remedial measure to stop the chaos in the world?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: That's most auspicious.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Most auspicious. Because if the people are in chaos, how they'll be able to accept the great philosophy? It requires cool brain.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: For example, in my program...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Budhaḥ. Budhaḥ. Eh? Yes?</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: My program now is I have ten brahmacārīs in buses, and everything and we're distributing books. But if the people are in chaos, how they will be able to accept the knowledge in the books?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, not all of them are in chaos. There are some of them. Some of them. Not that all of them. Hare Kṛṣṇa (break) ...in separate department.</p>
<p>Passer-by: Rādhe, Rādhe!</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Just see. Due to the past training, even an ordinary man, he's chanting, "Rādhe, Rādhe."</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: When we had our boat, the boatmen every morning were...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is India.</p>
<p>Viṣṇujana: ...worshiping...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because, due to past culture, even the lowest class of men, he's also great philosopher than these rascals in western countries.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: So all the other programs should be continued, and this program should be added.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Parivrājakācārya: Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Parivrājakācārya: Would the...? The persons who would take part in such program, they would have to be devotees in the first place. Is that...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Devotees is... I have already explained. We are all devotees. Past condition, we are all devotees. We are not, we do not belong to this varṇāśrama. I have already told you. Suppose I am mopping. So that does not mean I am mopper. But I am teaching how to mop. This is our position.</p>
<p>Parivrājakācārya: So the students, also, they must all be devotees.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Devotees are... That is our life and soul.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: And the idea is that after they've finished their schooling, they would take part in ISKCON, preaching in some way as vaiśya or...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. This preaching is also required, to make the groundwork. Because nobody's taking care. Just like some of the devotees, great devotees, they took the profession of becoming thief. They, in South India, it was done so. They took the profession of becoming thief. So a devotee is a thief? But he took. They took it. Because nobody was paying. So they organized a plundering party. "Plunder all these big men." Just like the politicians do. There is history. Yes. So even up to the point to become a thief, devotees took it. Yes. And the gopīs, even up to the point of becoming prostitute—for Kṛṣṇa. So for Kṛṣṇa's sake we have to accept any nonsense type of business. Or on the highest grade. Anything. But for Kṛṣṇa we have to do that.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: So, Prabhupāda, in our temples, we have so many devotees. Should the devotees...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They should be engaged.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Should they be trained in a particular...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Those who are not able to preach or to do other things, they must go to the plough department, agriculture.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Those who cannot preach.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Those who are less educated, not very much expert in preaching, they must be acting as kṣatriya or vaiśya, or as śūdra.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: And sometimes...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: :Not he's śūdra. Always remember that. But he has to act to fulfill the, fill up the gap. Proxy.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: So we should encourage people, young people, young students to come to our college.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They'll automatically come if you are ideal. Because they are being forced to poverty. So when there is a question of poverty, they'll come.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Room and board and training.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. This poverty. Why there is poverty? Because they are not producing food. Everyone wants so-called comfortable life. So-called education. Sitting idle in the table and chair, and talking all gossips, nonsense, and sleeping. They have been trained up in this way, śūdra.</p>
