- Varnasrama and training
- Varnasrama college
A
- A class of ksatriya must be there, a class of vaisya must be there. This is called varnasrama. For the peaceful execution of material life these things are required, division
- A human being is expected to follow the rules and regulations of varna and asrama; otherwise he cannot escape punishment by Yamaraja
- A human being must be trained in the above-mentioned (in SB 7.11.8-12) thirty qualities; otherwise, he is not even a human being. Then, among such qualified persons, the varnasrama process should be introduced
- A king, governor or president should not take the opportunity to occupy his post without also discharging his duty. He must teach the people within the state how to observe the divisions of varna and asrama
- A system of human civilization that does not promote varna and asrama is nothing but a polished animal society. Indulgence in sex life by a man or woman living single is never acceptable in human society
- Acaryas who advocate the daiva varnasrama (the social order of catur-varnyam mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita) do not accept the proposition of asura-varnasrama, which maintains that the social order of varna is indicated by birth
- According to this varnasrama, there must be training. Some classes of men must be trained as nice brahmins. Some people must be trained as nice ksatriyas. Some people must be trained as nice vaisyas
- All my European and American disciples have no varnasrama position, but spiritually because they have followed the rules and regulations and also my instructions, their advancement spiritually is being appreciated by everyone
- All these (the varnas and the asramas) anomalies of the present social system can be reformed only by cultivation of the human spirit in the devotional service of the Lord
- Any king who does not teach his citizens about their respective duties in terms of varna and asrama but who simply exacts tolls and taxes from them is liable to suffer for the impious activities which have been performed by the citizens
- Any systematic religious process is to be understood: "It is given by God." Man cannot make any religious system. So this Aryan system, progressive system, is catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma-vibhagasah
- Apart from other living entities, the living being in the human form of body is systematically controlled by the Vedic injunctions in terms of the divisions of varna and asrama
- As confirmed in the Visnu Purana (3.8.9): by accepting the institution of varna and asrama, one can very easily elevate himself to the platform of worshiping Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- As for land ownership, in the Vedic civilization the land was given to the people for cultivation not for ownership, and a tax was collected which was 25% of the person's income
- As soon as the process of yajna is stopped, the earth will withhold all productions -- vegetables, trees, plants, fruits, flowers, other agricultural products and minerals
- As such, any person who is very seriously engaged in his occupational duties in the varnas and asramas, and who does not develop love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva, is to be understood as simply spoiling his human form of life
- At the present moment, the entire world is in this deplorable condition because of giving rights to so many interests. This is due to the degradation of the four castes of varnas and asramas
B
- Because the scientific division of four varnas and four asramas is now being extinguished, the entire world is being governed by unwanted men who have no training in religion, politics or social order, and it is in a very deplorable condition
- By your occupational duties, you are performing yajna. Because yajna means to satisfy the Supreme Lord. Varnasrama... This varnasrama program is there to satisfy the Supreme according to one's quality and karma
C
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not identify Himself with any of the eight varnas and asramas, namely, brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa. He identified Himself as the Supreme Spirit
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, "I am not a brahmana. I am not a ksatriya. I am not a vaisya. I am not a sudra," because the material human society designation is the varnasrama according to Vedic civilization
E
- Even if such an immature devotee falls down, there is no loss on his part. On the other hand, what is the gain of one who executes the prescribed duties according to his varna and asrama but does not take to devotional service
- Everyone can become a fearless and honest person if his very existence is purified by discharging the prescribed duty for each and every order of life
- Everywhere, in each center, this system should be introduced, and there must be practical application of the varnasrama. At the same time, this program of devotional service. Then it will go on very nicely
H
- He (Caitanya) rejected the idea of the importance of varnasrama-dharma when it was put forward by Ramananda Rai. He said that this advancement of varna and asrama is merely external
- Human life begins when one observes the varnasrama regulations. Human life means to elevate oneself to spiritual consciousness, or God consciousness
I
- I (Mother Earth) am thinking about myself and also, O best amongst the demigods, about you, as well as about all the demigods, sages, denizens of Pitrloka, devotees of the Lord and all men obedient to the system of varna and asrama in human society
- I started the New Vrindaban scheme on this formula (varnasrama)
- I want to have a small Vaisnava state - varnasrama, ideal. Ideal Vaisnava state. Brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, they are doing very nicely, & people will be surprised, "Oh." There is no question of hatred. It is division for proper discharge of duty
- If a king neglects to give such instructions (how to observe the divisions of varna and ashram) and is simply satisfied with levying taxes, then those who share in the collection are liable to share in the impious activities of the general masses
- If a society does not function according to such natural divisions (varnasrama), the social orders become degraded. The conclusion is that the scientific method of varnasrama-dharma should be adopted by society
- If human society is divided scientifically according to varna and asrama, and if the Vedic directions are followed, one's life, regardless of his position, will be successful
- If one attains devotional service, therefore, he is certainly liberated. Generally, unless one enjoys material happiness, one cannot attain renunciation. Varnasrama therefore gives the opportunity for gradual elevation
- If this offering process (performing duties of varna and asrama) is in the mode of goodness rather than in pure devotion, then the interest is different
- If varna is not there, then this is a society of animal. And when the varna is working perfectly, then we give them asrama. Varnasrama. That is later on
- If Visnu is not worshiped, the followers of the varnasrama institution manufacture some concocted God
- If we do not have an ideal president or ideal king on the head and the prajas also, the citizens, they do not follow the varnasrama, then there cannot be any peace
- If you cannot work in Krsna consciousness, then you better perform your prescribed duty according to varnasrama
- If you want to maintain, keep the perfect human civilization, then you must maintain this varnasrama. Otherwise, there will be chaos
- In order to bring the mass of people to the ideal position, we should try to introduce this varnasrama
- In other words, the prescribed forms of varna and asrama are ritualistic ceremonies of religion intended for economic development, sense gratification or for salvation
- In perfect human society, people are situated in the orders of varna and asrama and are engaged in worshiping Lord Visnu by their respective activities
- In reply to questions asked by certain sages, he (Svayambhuva Manu), out of compassion for all living entities, taught the diverse sacred duties of men in general and the different varnas and asramas
- In the Aryan system there is varnasrama-dharma, by which everyone should be educated according to his position in society's division of varna (brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra) and asrama - brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa
- In the varnasrama system the student goes to the asrama of the master to take lessons from him and serve him, even as a menial servant
- Indian civilization on the basis of the four varnas and asramas deteriorated because of her dependency on foreigners, or those who did not follow the civilization of varnasrama. Thus the varnasrama system has now been degraded into the caste system
- It is essential that society be divided into four groups of men. Brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras
- It is not expected that cent percent of the population will become first-class, but there must be ideal groups of first-class, second-class, third-class and the rest, fourth-class
- It is the king's duty to see that everyone perfectly executes the duties prescribed for the varna and asrama divisions of society. Besides that, as exemplified by King Prthu, he must develop the earth for the greatest possible production of food grains
- It is very good news that there are persons there who want to cooperate to help us start a Varnasrama College Project and that they may supply us land for living as an ideal community producing our own food from the land
K
- Karabhajana said, "My dear King, if somebody gives up his occupational duties as they are prescribed for the different varnas & asramas, but takes complete shelter, surrendering himself unto the lotus feet of the Lord, such a person is no more a debtor"
- Krsna personally says, catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma (BG 4.13). The varnasrama must be there. The whole aim is how to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because the Supreme Personality of Godhead has to be satisfied
L
- Lord Caitanya accepted many devotees from communities other than the varnasramites
- Lord Caitanya accepted many devotees from communities other than the varnasramites, and He Himself declared, to teach us, that He does not belong to any caste or social order of life
- Lord Siva is called pasupati because he protects the living entities in their developed consciousness so that they may follow the Vedic system of varna and asrama
M
- My dear boy, all of us are bound by the Vedic injunctions to the divisions of varnasrama according to our qualities and work. These divisions are difficult to avoid because they are scientifically arranged
- My next program is to reinstate the Vedic divisions in society as recommended in the Bhagavad-gita
N
- Narada Muni advises Vyasadeva, "A person who is simply discharging his occupational duty in varna and asrama, however, with no Krsna consciousness, practically does not gain the true benefit of human life"
- Nation - this word is not there in the Vedic language. There's no conception of nation. There is conception of varnasrama, everywhere
- Neither by that saintly person's activities, by his bodily features, by his words nor by the symptoms of his varnasrama status could people understand whether he was the same person they had known
- No institution to teach people how reestablish varnasrama
- No one can stop the system of varna and asrama or the castes and divisions. Whether or not one accepts the name brahmana there is a class in society which is known as the intelligent class and which is interested in spiritual understanding and philosophy
- Now you cannot again introduce this system of varnasrama. It is not possible. But if one takes to Krsna consciousness, automatically he becomes immediately a brahmana and above the brahmana
- Nowadays, there is no scientific division of the human society. Therefore there are so many chaotic conditions. So actual human civilization begins when we accept these eight departmental management of the society - varnasrama
O
- Occupational duty means to stick with one type of occupation which is just suitable for me, considering that it is my duty, therefore I am throughout my life obligated to perform it to the best of my ability
- One has to take this process, four divisions of varnas and four..., four divisions of social order and four divisions of spiritual order. That is called varnasrama
- One must be qualified. Varnasrama-vibhagasah. Vibhagasah. There must be division. But people are very much anxious to make classless society, no division. And that is Krsna consciousness society. We have no such division
- One should accept the varnasrama divisions by qualification, not by birth. Unless this system is introduced, human activities cannot be systematically executed
- One should execute the prescribed duties of varna and asrama as long as he has not developed spontaneous attachment for hearing about My pastimes and activities
- One who seriously comes to us, he has to become a brahmana. So he has to adopt the occupation of a brahmana, and he has to give up the occupation of a ksatriya or a sudra
- Only intelligent class, that will be chaos
- Our position is that we are above varnasrama. But for management or ideal society, we are introducing this
- Our position is that we are above varnasrama. But for management or ideal society, we are introducing this. We, so far we are concerned, Krsna conscious men, we are above varnasrama
P
- People must be trained according to the different varnasrama occupational duties. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 4.13), catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma-vibhagasah: the four varnas must be established according to varying qualities and work
- Preach on the basis of the division of the society into four orders, as without this the society is useless and people cannot be happy or even have the necessities of life
- Prthu Maharaja continued: Therefore, my dear citizens, for the welfare of your king after his death, you should execute your duties properly in terms of your positions of varna and asrama and should always think of the SPG within your hearts
R
- Real human life begins, accepting these principles of varna-asrama. So Ramananda Raya proposed that actual human life, because human life is meant for realization of God
- Real Vedic culture is varnasrama
- Regulated for cooperation among communities according to the Vedic principles
- Regulative principles are meant for everyone, all varnas and asramas. Not that "I am now sannyasi. I have got the highest platform. Therefore regulative principles is not meant for me. It is for the kanistha..." This is rascaldom
S
- Simply executing the duties of all varnas and asramas is not as good as offering all the results of one's activities to the Lord
- So according to this varnasrama, there must be training. Some classes of men must be trained as nice brahmanas. Some people must be trained as nice ksatriyas
- So far we are concerned, Krsna conscious men, we are above varnasrama. But to show the people that we are not escaping, we can take part in any order of life. That is our position
- So in this position of harassment, how the peaceful varnasrama can be revived? It is very difficult. It is almost impossible. Therefore this system should be taken
- So unless the human society is divided into these eight scientific divisions and everyone acts according to his position, there cannot be any peace in the world. That is called varnasrama
- Socially you can teach how this catur-varnyam is scientific
- Society can never be considered real human society, nor can it make any advancement towards the ultimate goal of human life. It is the duty of the government to see that things go on in terms of varna and asrama
- Some of you must be, must learn the art of fighting also. But in a practical you are not going to fight. If required, you can fight. I say that we are above all these varnasrama, but we must train others or ourself also for material activities
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not give much importance to the Vedic system of varnasrama which is very important for mundane people because Krishna Consciousness is above everything
- Sudyumna followed the prescribed regulations of varnasrama by leaving the kingdom and going to the forest to complete his spiritual life
T
- That is leadership, which man is fitted for which work
- The agriculturist, the cultivator, takes the land from the king or the government. He pays little tax, and he works on it
- The aim of the varnasrama divisions - brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa - is to train one to control the senses and be content with the bare necessities
- The beginning of real human civilization is observance of the institute of four varnas and four asramas. That is the beginning of civilized life. Otherwise, it is not civilized life; it is crude, uncivilized life, where there is no varnasrama
- The citizens of Ayodhya were all given facilities for peaceful life, and they were also qualified with appropriate attributes according to varnasrama
- The citizens were trained according to the varnasrama system. A class of men were brahmanas, a class of men were ksatriyas, a class were vaisyas, and a class were sudras. Without this scientific division, there can be no question of good citizenship
- The conception of four castes and four orders of life, as planned by the Lord Himself (Bg. 4.13), is to accelerate transcendental qualities of the individual person so that he may gradually realize his spiritual identity
- The conclusion is actually when a human being is civilized in the true sense of the term he follows the system of varna and asrama and then he can be called a "Hindu''
- The constitution of manava-dharma or the institution of varnasrama must be interesting for the whole world, and it should be exemplified by practical demonstration
- The divisions of varna and asrama are necessary to insure the proper execution of duties and peaceful existence for everyone, but everyone is directed to worship the Supreme Lord, who is all-pervading - yena sarvam idam tatam
- The entire social structure of varna and asrama is a cooperative system meant to uplift all to the highest platform of spiritual realization
- The first principle for good government is that it must institute this varnasrama system. The purpose of varnasrama is to enable people to become God conscious
- The four varnas, the brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra. And four asramas-brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa. Combined together it is called varnasrama
- The human society must be divided into four divisions. Not four division - eight divisions, varnasrama
- The Indian system calls for varna and asrama - four social orders and four spiritual orders. Brahmacarya (celibate student life), grhastha (married life), vanaprastha (retired life) and sannyasa (renounced life) - these are the spiritual orders
- The institution of varna and asrama prescribes many regulative duties to be observed by its followers. Such duties enjoin that a candidate willing to study the Vedas must approach a bona fide spiritual master and request acceptance as his disciple
- The institution of varnasrama prescribed many regulative duties - Dasa-vidha-samskara, ten kinds of reformatory methods
- The Jagannatha temple still accepts only those Hindus who are in the varnasrama order. Other castes, especially those who are not Hindu, are not allowed to enter the temple. This is a long-standing regulation
- The king is supposed to be pious in whose state and cities the general populace strictly observes the system of eight social orders of varna and asrama, and where all citizens engage in worshiping the SPG by their particular occupations
- The ksatriyas, they are working in the modes of passion. They want to possess land, they want to be king, they want to be leader of the citizens, and they see to the protection of the citizens. This is called in the mode of passion
- The members of the modern so-called civilization do not know of varnasrama. Therefore they have created a society that is simply a dog's race. The dog is running on four legs, and thay are running on four wheels. That's all
- The original dharma is to follow the varnas and asramas, and these are created, according to Bhagavad Gita, to please Vishnu. So sampradaya means one of the four original Vishnu sampradayas
- The persons who follow these four orders of social status and four orders of spiritual advancement, they are called varnasrama. So Hindu religion is a miscalculation. Really, they are called varnasrama-dharma. That is the Vedic term
- The present civilization is suffering because there is no such thing as varnasrama-vibhagasah. There is no selection that there must be the most intelligent class of men, brahmin, the real ksatriya who can give protection to the people, ksatriya
- The simplicity of brahmanical culture was an ideal to the subordinate others of the society
- The so-called sannyasis try to construct another home in the name of the sannyasa-asrama and glide down into all sorts of luxury at the expense of others. So all these varnas and asramas have now become so many transcendental frauds
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 4.13), catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma-vibhagasah: the four varnas-brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra - must be present in society
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Visnu, is worshiped by the proper execution of prescribed duties in the system of varna and asrama
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Visnu, is worshiped by the proper execution of prescribed duties in the system of varna and asrama. There is no other way to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (Visnu Purana 3.8.9)
- The ultimate end is spiritual, but if the social order is not organized, then spiritual order is also disorganized. So there must be division of labor and activities
- The varna and asrama society was considered to be the best institution for lifting the human being to the spiritual platform, but due to Kali-yuga it is not possible to execute the rules and regulations of these institutions
- The varnas are, so to speak, classifications of different occupations, and asrama-dharma is gradual progress on the path of self-realization. Both are interrelated, and one is dependent on the other
- The varnasrama institution offers the perfect process for making one eligible to return home, back to Godhead, because the aim of every varna and asrama is to please the Supreme Lord
- The varnasrama society is organized into eight divisions: brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa. Nanda Maharaja represented himself as grhinam, a householder
- The varnasrama system is scientific. Therefore if we accept the divisions of varna and asrama according to the Vedic instructions, our lives will be successful. Unless human society is thus divided and arranged, it cannot be perfect
- The varnasrama-dharma mentioned here is essential for human civilization. Unless there is a brahmana to guide, a ksatriya to rule perfectly, and a perfect vaisya to produce food and protect the cows, how will people live peacefully? It is impossible
- The Vedic injunction is there should be division in the society, varnasrama, varnasramacaravata. Because the whole aim is to reach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu
- The Vedic system of religion we have been describing - the varnasrama system created by Krsna - is not to be confused with the present-day caste system - determination of social divisions by birth
- The Vedic system of varna and asrama is never to be neglected, for these divisions are created by the Supreme Lord Himself for the upkeep of social and religious order in human society
- The whole aim of the different varnas and asramas is the worship of the Supreme Lord. One can attain this understanding through this social system, which admits of gradations
- The whole varnasrama system is so designed that each and every status of life is called an asrama
- There are different duties of the varna and asrama. A brahmana has got his duty, a ksatriya has got his duty. Now, a ksatriya's duty is fighting. So how this fighting can be utilized as perfection of life?
- There are so many talks about to keep the varnasrama intact for peaceful condition of the society, and the modern problem, the overpopulation. In the Vedic literature, we don't find such thing as overpopulation
- There is a program, Manipur. I want to start in that small state varnasrama idea. That is my dream
- There is no varnasrama; therefore all the children, they are varna-sankara. And as soon as there is varna-sankara population, the world becomes hell. Therefore we are trying to check, "No illicit sex" - to stop this varna-sankara
- This is also external," Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said. "Please proceed and speak further on this matter." Ramananda Raya replied, "To give up one's occupational duties in the varnasrama system is the essence of perfection"
- Those who are devas, godly, their lusty desire is controlled, restricted. Therefore this varnasrama, four varnas and four asramas, this is education how to control this lusty desire. That is required
- Those who are not on the varnasrama platform, they are animals. That is Vedic civilization
- Time was not right. Now you can do something
U
- Under these prescribed duties of varna and asrama there are many activities which belong to devotional service in Krsna consciousness
- Unless one comes to this institutional progress of life, varna and asrama, they are animals. Human life begins from these eight divisions of occupational duties
- Unless there is such a division of the social orders in human society, including the intelligent class, the martial class, the mercantile class and the laborer class, there is always confusion as to who is to work for what purpose
V
- Varnasrama is planned for material life in a systematic way so that, in due course of time, one may give up the family relationship and take sannyasa and completely devote for Krsna's service
- Varnasrama, is very important scheme. If possible it should be introduced and taken up very serious. That is one of the items of Krsna consciousness movement, to reestablish the institution of varna and asrama. Not by birth, but by qualification
- Varnasrama, there is give and take, but here there is no give and . . . here is simply give, no take. That is above varnasrama
- Varnasramacaravata purusena parah puman visnur aradhyate (CC Madhya 8.58). The entire varnasrama scheme is intended to enable people to become Vaisnavas. Visnur asya devata. When people worship Lord Visnu as the Supreme Lord, they become Vaisnavas
W
- We are giving the ideal
- We are introducing the systematic caste system
- We have to keep this ideal at least, varnasrama
- We say caste, but varnasrama. Varna. Anyway, it is division. That division, vibhaga, the exact word is "division," not "caste." Or you can say caste, there is no difference? Division, these 4 divisions are there. So these divisions are not made by birth
- What constitutes a normal condition will not be the same for everyone, and therefore there are divisions of varnasrama-brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa
- What is today being labeled varnasrama is an atheistic concept totally unsupported by the scriptures. Real varnasrama is based not on birth but on people's qualities and activities
- When the varna is working perfectly, then we give them asrama
- Why falling down? Because he was not fit for the position, therefore he has fallen. Better remain in his position and become perfect. Why artificially bring them? There is no need
- Why manufacture nation and create trouble and again united? Nation - this word is not there in the Vedic language. There's no conception of nation. There is conception of varnasrama, everywhere. Not for any particular nation or any particular country
Y
- You may call the Vedas Hindu, but "Hindu" is a foreign name. We are not Hindus. Our real identification is varnasrama. Varnasrama denotes the followers of the Vedas, those who accept the human society in eight divisions of varna and asrama
- You should remain always sannyasi within. Outwardly, for others' convenience, you may do something. Similarly, we are accepting this varnasrama. We are not varnasrama; we are above varnasrama
