Putrārthe . . . pitā na sa syāt jananī na sā syāt (SB 5.5.18). The Bhāgavata says: "One should not become a father, one should not become a mother, unless they are able to protect the children from the imminent danger of death." What is that? The cycle of birth and death. If you can train your children to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then your child will go back to Godhead in this life. That should be the aim. As you will try to go back to Godhead in this life,.

From the very beginning of their life they are allowed to mix freely, and they are allowed to enjoy sex life unrestricted. This is neither good for their health nor for education. So therefore we are getting now the result of education, Communists and hippies. So people, those who are guardians of the society, should take serious note of it and make life very regulated.

What is the necessities of this life is, because we have got this material body, we must eat, we must sleep, we must defend and we must mate. These are the demands of this body. But they should be so regulated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness that it will not be disturbing element, but we shall make progress further and further towards spiritual realization of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Therefore, not only the new bride and bridegroom, I request every one of my students who are present that this . . .

(break) The aim of married life is to produce nice children, Kṛṣṇa conscious children. That is the best service to the human society: produce nice children. Don't produce cats and dogs. That is my request. Otherwise don't produce. Remain separate. Separate means there is no separation, but don't produce children. That is my request.

Putrārthe . . . pitā na sa syāt jananī na sā syāt (SB 5.5.18). The Bhāgavata says: "One should not become a father, one should not become a mother, unless they are able to protect the children from the imminent danger of death." What is that? The cycle of birth and death. If you can train your children to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then your child will go back to Godhead in this life. That should be the aim. As you will try to go back to Godhead in this life,.

Similarly, you shall take charge of your children that he can also go in this life back to Godhead. The mother's and father's duty should be that, "This child is born out of my womb, and this is the last phase of his life, to come into this womb of any animal or man—no more material body." That should be the responsibility of father and mother. That is the direction of Bhāgavata.

So my dear children, boys and girls, I request you that live happily. There is no restriction—we don't restrict eating, sleeping or mating or defending—but do it in relationship with Kṛṣṇa, pure life, and be happy in this life and next life.
