And in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam there is foretelling that in this age there will be no more marriage. Vedic marriage will be stopped. Svīkāra eva ca udvāhe. Simply by agreement, the marriage function will be performed. But as far as we are concerned, we are trying to establish daiva-varṇāśrama, as it is instructed by the Gosvāmīs, by Hari-bhakti-vilāsa, by our spiritual master. May not be very perfect, but we are trying our best to introduce this daiva-varṇāśrama.</p>

| | Our Sanātana Gosvāmī gives direction in the ''Hari-bhakti-vilāsa'' that one man can become a ''brāhmin'' by the regular process of ''dīkṣā''. ''Dīkṣā'', this initiation, cannot be offered to a ''śūdra''. ''Dīkṣā'' cannot be offered to a ''śūdra''.

| | This initiation is offered not according to the Vedic rules, because it is very difficult to find out a qualified ''brāhmin''. ''Dīkṣā'' is offered to a qualified ''brāhmaṇa''. Therefore this ''dīkṣā'' is offered according to ''Pāñcarātriki-vidhi''. That is recommended in this age. My spiritual master inaugurated this ''Pāñcarātriki-vidhi'', and we are following his footsteps. |
