So our this movement is not for the kṛpaṇas. It is meant for the Brāhmins. We want to become ourself Brāhmin, and we want to make others also Brāhmin, because there is need of Brāhmin at the present moment. The whole human society is now running by the Śūdras, all Śūdras. Kalau śūdra-sambhavaḥ. In this Kali-yuga, everyone is a Śūdra. Maybe born of a Brāhmin family, but because he has no culture . . . the first culture is garbhādhāna-saṁskāra.

These rascals, they say that these mlecchas and yavanas cannot become Brāhmin. Because we are making Brāhmins from the mlecchas and yavanas section, they are protesting. Some of them are protesting that "Swami Bhaktivedanta is ruining Hindu religion." The rascals, they do not know that I am acting strictly according to śāstra. The śāstras says . . . Kṛṣṇa says Himself, māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ (BG 9.32): "Anyone born in low-grade family," pāpa-yoni, māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya, "if he takes to Me according to regulative principles," vyapāśritya, "according to the principle," te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim, "he is immediately becomes eligible to be promoted," parāṁ gatim, "the highest perfection of life."

One thing is pāpa-yoni. So there is no restriction that pāpa-yoni shall remain always pāpa-yoni. Why? They should be given enlightenment. That is Brāhmin-ism. Brāhmin means liberal, and just the opposite word of Brāhmin is kṛpaṇa, miser. A Brāhmin should give chance to everyone, even to the pāpa-yoni, how to become Brāhmin. That is real Brāhmin. And the rascal who thinks that, "I shall remain simply Brāhmin; others shall remain mlecchas and yavanas," he is not Brāhmin; he is Śūdra, because his mind is so crippled. He does not want to see others to become Brāhmin. He is miser, kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇaḥ phala-hetavaḥ (BG 2.49).

So our this movement is not for the kṛpaṇas. It is meant for the Brāhmins. We want to become ourself Brāhmin, and we want to make others also Brāhmin, because there is need of Brāhmin at the present moment. The whole human society is now running by the Śūdras, all Śūdras. Kalau śūdra-sambhavaḥ. In this Kali-yuga, everyone is a Śūdra. Maybe born of a Brāhmin family, but because he has no culture . . . the first culture is garbhādhāna-saṁskāra.

If garbhādhāna-saṁskāra is not observed even in a Brāhmin family, he becomes immediately Śūdra. This is the statement of the śāstra. So nobody is observing garbhādhāna-saṁskāra. Therefore, according to śāstra, everyone is a Śūdra. Now because everyone is Śūdra, therefore he cannot be trained up as Brāhmin? No. He can be trained up. Caṇḍālo 'pi dvija-śreṣṭho hari-bhakti-parāyaṇaḥ. If that Śūdra or caṇḍāla can be turned into a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, hari-bhakti-parāyaṇaḥ, then under training he can become better than Brāhmin.

So these are the principles of the state to see. Therefore it is called cakāra rājyaṁ dharmeṇa. Dharmeṇa, to establish dharma. Cakāra rājyaṁ dharmeṇa. How? Pitṛ-paitāmaham. The king, Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, his father, Pāṇḍu, his father, his father . . . this is the descendance. When Mahārāja Parīkṣit was born and his name-giving ceremony was going on, and all the learned Brāhmins, they predicted that this boy would be such . . . such-and-such powerful like such-and-such king, such-and-such munificent like such-and-such great . . . that description is there in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. So Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira inquired whether this boy will be loving his prajā like his forefathers. That is the first inquiry.
