''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam ''([[vanisource:SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]). And always engage in serving. Just like ''śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-śṛṅgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau'' (''Gurvastakam ''3). If you have no engagement, simply cleanse this temple. ''Tan-mandira-mārjana''. That is also service. That is also service. ''Pāda-sevanam''. ''Arcanaṁ vandanam''. Then actually worshiping, decorating, ''vandanam'', offering prayer, ''dāsyam'', ''sakhyam''. In this way remain always engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service. Then you are to be considered the most learned.

That is the recommendation of Prahlāda Mahārāja. ''Tan manye adhītam uttamam''. "In my mind, in my decision, persons who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness fully, they are to be understood as the first-class advanced in education." And this material education . . . Of course, we are going to open the ''gurukula''. Our aim is not how to make the students a big grammarian. No. That is not our purpose. How to make him fully Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is the aim of this ''gurukula''.

In the ''gurukula ''description there is nothing, such thing as how to make the student a big grammarian or . . . Generally they take Sanskrit education, first grammar, and it is recommended that one should read at least for twelve years grammar. Actually this is the fact. Sanskrit grammar is very difficult, and unless one reads regularly for twelve years . . . But that is another thing. If one is well versed in grammar he can read all the Sanskrit literatures. That is another thing.

But our aim is not that, to read Sanskrit literature. No. Our aim is how to mold the life to become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious. Those who are contemplating to organize our, this ''gurukula'', they should stress on this point as Prahlāda Mahārāja says, ''tan manye adhītam uttamam'': "He is first-class educated." Who? ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇam pāda-sevanam'', ''arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyam ''([[vanisource:SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]). We want to teach that. There is no question of economic problem, that one has to become learned to get some service in some big school or college and get some big salary. This is not our aim. Our only aim is how to mold the life of the children to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. So this is the summary given by Caitanya . . . Prahlāda Mahārāja. We should follow his instruction.
