<div class="heading">He is very innocent boy, and I got him married. His wife is also great devotee, you know, Yamunā. So now Yamunā has taken a very nice path. She has also become sannyāsīnī. Although there is no sannyāsīnī for women, but she has voluntarily taken. She is doing very nice; therefore I advised her husband that "You also take sannyāsa."

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Gurudasa Sannyasa Initiation -- San Francisco, July 21, 1975|Gurudasa Sannyasa Initiation -- San Francisco, July 21, 1975]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
So this human life is meant for ''paropakāra'', for doing good to others. So therefore ''sannyāsa ''order means one that dedicates his whole life by word, by body and by mind, everything. So the result is that because he is sacrificing his all material connection—''sannyāsa'' means all material connection—so the result will be, ''ahaṁ tariṣyāmi duranta-pāram''. Result will . . . Because he is sacrificing everything for dedicating life for the service of Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa wants that all these rascals should give up everything and surrender to Him. So you have to teach this, that's all. ''Yāre dekha, tāre kaha kṛṣṇa-upadeśa'' ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 7.128|CC ''Madhya'' 7.128]]). What Kṛṣṇa desires? He comes personally, and He instructs rascals like us, "You rascal, give up all these things, material engagement. Come to Me, back to home, back to Godhead." This is Kṛṣṇa's desire. 

So we have to preach that. We haven't got to manufacture anything. Kṛṣṇa says everything. We have to simply bear the message, "Kṛṣṇa says like this. You do like this." That's all. You become a perfect ''sannyāsī'' and you perfect. And by doing this, result will be, ''ahaṁ tariṣyāmi duranta-pāram''. This material world, the ocean of nescience, it is very, very difficult to cross it over, but by doing this service to Kṛṣṇa, one can easily . . . ''Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām'' ([[Vanisource:SB 10.14.58|SB 10.14.58]]). ''Bhavāmbudhir vatsa-padaṁ paraṁ padam. Bhavāmbudhiḥ'', the great ocean, becomes just like a water spot in the hoofprint of an calf. There is hoofprint, and there is some water. So there is no difficulty to cross over it. So the ''bhavāmbudhiḥ'' becomes like that. ''Duranta-pāram''. Why it is ''duranta? Tama'', darkness. So ''mukundāṅghri-niṣevaya''. ''Mukunda'' means Kṛṣṇa. ''Muk'' means liberation, ''mukti''. So Mukunda, "one who gives liberation." That is Kṛṣṇa's name. ''Mukundāṅghri. Anghri'' means His lotus feet.

So this is our life. Everyone should take ''sannyāsa''. But because it is Kali-yuga, it is restricted because it is very difficult. But as far as possible, we have to preach the Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So although it is little difficult, so we should practice it, especially those who are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, and for preaching work should take ''sannyāsa'', particularly of our Gurudāsa. Now he is Gurudāsa Swami, his name is. So his particular life is: since the beginning of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, he is my faithful disciple, and from 1965 or '6, he is with me. And he is very innocent boy, and I got him married. His wife is also great devotee, you know, Yamunā. So now Yamunā has taken a very nice path. She has also become ''sannyāsīnī''. Although there is no ''sannyāsīnī'' for women, but she has voluntarily taken. She is doing very nice; therefore I advised her husband that "You also take ''sannyāsa''." Because wife's affection is very, very tight knot. It is stated, ''puṁsaḥ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etad tayor mitho hṛdaya-granthim āhuḥ'' ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.8|SB 5.5.8]]). Naturally there is tendency—a man wants woman; a woman wants man. This is the material world, ''puṁsaṁ striyā mithunī-bhāvam'', sex impetus. That is natural. But when they are united, that impact becomes very, very tight. It is very difficult. It is very difficult to give it up. But Kṛṣṇa is so kind that his wife has voluntarily has become like ''sannyāsīnī''. So it is very good fortune. Therefore I advised him that instead of accepting another wife, you also become ''sannyāsī''. So he is my faithful disciple. He has accepted. And all of you Vaiṣṇavas, give your good wishes that he can keep the ''sannyāsa'' order very nicely and preach Kṛṣṇa through the rest of the life. His life will become successful.</p>
