1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

People were inclined to send their children to gurukula. Now they are inclined to send their children to cinema, this, that . . . a difficult task to institute. Loafer class, they should be trained up as śūdras—in carpentry, in weaving. It doesn't . . . do not require academic education. Simply make a skill. They'll learn.

Prabhupāda: So people were inclined to send their children to gurukula. Now they are inclined to send their children to cinema, this, that . . . a difficult task to institute. Loafer class, they should be trained up as śūdras—in carpentry, in weaving. It doesn't . . . do not require academic education. Simply make a skill. They'll learn.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We're not after the loafer class.

Prabhupāda: No, no. They are not . . . they are also useful. But they are . . . bringing them to the education, university, they are becoming loafer, ironclad. As soon as these low-class men are given education, he thinks, "Now I have become educated, baḍa bāpu. Why shall I work as a carpenter? I must have credits here." And they're bribing in government office, and sixty percent of the clerks—useless. They do not know how to make file, . Because everyone is going to New Delhi. And all fourth-class men are admitted. I have seen. If you have to find out an old file, you have to wait six months. Because these people are neither for this purpose nor that purpose.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: I was thinking, Śrīla Prabhupāda, we should get this gurukula accepted by the government also so . . .

Prabhupāda: No, no, no. Never do that.
