All Glories to you Prabhu. Very nicely said. Prabhupada came to the west to start a movement to save the world. We all know that. Prabhupada seized the moment and the movements surrounding the time. He mentioned on a walk that he wanted you to be able to know the number of windows in that building. If I know Prabhupada they way I think I know Prabhupada, he was saying "pay attention to everything". I've been watching several global movements on the streets where ISKCON could have been involved, could have been on every major news network around the world. All of those movements had relevance in aspects to Krishna consciousness. I believe it was a U.S. senator that once said, "If we don't stop this man, he might take over the world" He was talking about Prabhupada. Prabhupada wasn't afraid to step out of the box, he was a LION! He wanted you to think outside of the box with Krishna at the center. Jaya Prabhupada!! HARE KRISHNA!!
Hare Krishna, very nice message. Just recently bought a land with a old barn. Please give me your blessings that we can make a nice little community of devotees and cultivate a land and have lots of fruits and vegetables
Hare Krsna Maharaj. Great message and great opportunity t establish varasrama dharma and farm communities on a firm footing. Jai Shrila Prabhupada. Wish you speedy recovery
Śrila Prabhupada: "...Unless one takes to the Institution of Varna and Asrama, He's not a Human Being..." (from The Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 7.1, in Calcutta, January 27, 1973): "If you want to know Kṛṣṇa or God by the speculative process, not only for one year, two years... Panthās tu koṭi-śata-vatsara-sampragamyo vāyor athāpi (BS 5.34). Not mental speculation, but on the aeroplane running on the speed of vāyu, or air, or mind, the speed of mind, still, by traversing many crores of years, you cannot reach. Still it, it remains avicintya, inconceivable. But if you take to the process of this kṛṣṇa-yoga, or bhakti-yoga, then you can become aware of Kṛṣṇa very easily. Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ (BG 18.55). To understand Kṛṣṇa superficially, that is not sufficient. That is also good, but you must have tattvataḥ, what is Kṛṣṇa actually. That knowledge can be achieved-bhaktyā, by this kṛṣṇa-yoga. Otherwise, manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye yatatām api siddhānāṁ kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ (BG 7.3) There are so many human beings all over the world, Mostly, they're like animals-without culture. Because, according to our Vedic culture, unless one takes to the institution of varṇa and āśrama, he's not a human being. He's not accepted. So therefore Kṛṣṇa says manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu. Who is accepting this varṇāśrama? No. Chaotic condition. So in that chaotic condition you cannot understand what is God, what is Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu. Out of many, many thousands and millions of people, one takes to the scientific institute of varṇāśrama-dharma. That means followers of the Vedas, strictly. Out of these persons who are following the Vedic principles, mostly they're attached to karma-kāṇḍa, ritualistic ceremonies. So out of many millions of persons engaged in ritualistic ceremony, one becomes advanced in knowledge. They are called jñānīs, or speculative philosophers. Not karmīs, but jñānīs. So out of many millions of such jñānīs, one becomes mukta, liberated. Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati (BG 18.54). This is liberated stage. One who is Brahman realized soul, he has nothing to lament or nothing to hanker. Because in the karmī stage we have got two diseases: hankering and lamenting. Whatever you have got, if it is lost, then I lament. "Oh, I got this and that and it is now lost." And whatever we do not possess, we hanker after. So for possessing, we hanker, we work so hard. And when it is lost, we again lament and cry. This is karmī stage. So brahma-bhūtaḥ stage... Jñāna stage means he has no more lamenting or hankering. Prasannātmā. "Oh, I am, ahaṁ brahmāsmi. What I have got to do with this body? My business is to cultivate transcendental knowledge, brahma-jñāna." So in that stage, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu (BG 18.54). That is the test. He has no lamenting. He has no hankering. And he's equal to everyone. Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ. vidyā-vinaya-sampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini śuni caiva śva-pāke ca paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ (BG 5.18) He has no distinction. So in this way, when one is situated, then mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām (BG 18.54), then he comes to the devotional platform. And when he comes to the devotional platform, bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ (BG 18.55), then he's able."

Awesome message! Krishna consciousness movement needs and must develop the Second part.... farm development. Have you all asked; Are the devotee communities ready for this EXODUS that will surely take place... water, food, shelter, sanitary facilites and supplies ? Wake up Prabhus! Srila Prabhupada is the ultimate whistle blower on modern civilization.
1 tomato seed produces 1 tomato plant which produces say 50 tomatoes. Within each tomato are 10 seeds .That means within the life cycle of a tomato plant growing you now have potentially 500 new tomato plants , each with 50 tomatoes with 10 seeds in each that now means you now have 250 000 seeds ! That’s how easy farming /growing is . You just have to get organised and start living more in sync with the seasons and don’t forget processing and storage !
Dandavat pranam maharaj 🙏 sincere prayers for your quick recovery. I totally agree with it maharaj because that would be a great thing to create varnasrama culture, nowadays every youth is working hard without any destiny even I am working hard to get a piece of bread and stable KC. Good inspiration my idea also was to create firm culture. You gave me a push to my idea maharaj. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
Hare Krsna ...I never fully understood Krsna consciouseness untill I was in India recently staying at an Ashram where my friend grows rice n wheat on rotation...(also fruit trees...dahls)and depends on cows...I think I had to see it for myself and experience it...most importantly I now understand how we eat food to fill the belly...not to go out to some restaurant and enjoy...because every grain of rice is important when you sit and pick rocks out of a talee for a couple of hours a day...or wheat and put it in the "chucki" for grinding....just subji roti dahl chowal...bas🐂
The concept of farms is very similar to the permaculture-homesteads of Ringing Cedars, a neo-vedic movement from Russia. I guess ruralism is an important part of vedic lifestyle in general.
Thanks for your message. I am not khrisna member but a friend of your movement and I believe that is a must to eat healthy and be vegetarian. Your movement have today a huge oportunity to save lives. Thanks
Humble pranam unto your lotus feet. Great message at this opportune time. Devotees can only think about the welfare of every living being. Hare Krishna .
Guruji iskon did very good job because of you pepol did very well preyar better than india people. . Now day indian people the following western cultural and 85 % people the didn't riding Bhagat gita also. I love what iskon did god give mor power. .. jay Sree krishna love from India ❤ ❤
Thank you Maharaja, your words are very much inspirational. Till 1989 Hungary was basically the food supplies to all the eastern european communist bloc countries, and just as you said there was so much abundance. We did not have communism as rough as other nations, simply due our agriculture. Of course Srila Prabhupada and yourself odesnt need material references backing up what you say, but I thought it would be nice to cite this example! Ys, Gaura-Narayana dasa
My suggestion is to ISKCON leadership to bring back Varnaasharma, please concentrate on farmer community specially those who are in villages in entire word and make them devotee. They have necessary character, experience, resources and skill to perform this task. By making them devotee they will make us self sufficient also provide necessary to support to reach out to these community. it will be very difficult for devotee from city to take this task on their own they lack above foundation. that why Iskcon has very difficult time to start and flourish farm community. Same way we can concentrate in city to reclaim other Varna. Here is few suggestions devotees and leader who are in the cities should form/organize volunteer groups that includes such as Padayatra (preaching, chanting singing and festivals) ; other medical cor who goes to villages and provide health care services. other food distribution group who provides needy life sustaining support. it should be compulsory to every devotee to give time money and labor. We have to keep our character like Vaishnava purity, integrity and Shadhana. Keep personal ego and politics away, work together and follow basic Prabhupada instruction no new experiments. i believe by following above steps we will be able bring back all other Varna. They all exist every where in all community world wide. Hare Krishna. All glory to Srila Prabhupda
Śrila Prabhupada: "...So the Varṇāśrama-dharma should be introduced all over the world, and..." (from "A Room Conversation in Mayapur, February 14, 1977"): "Prabhupāda: Revolution means they are dissatisfied. Satsvarūpa: French Revolution, Russian Revolution. Prabhupāda: These things were not going nicely. Therefore gradually it broke. But if things are going nicely, people will be happy. They will not revolt. You have to keep the citizens satisfied in all respects. You must know the necessity how people are satisfied. You have to arrange the government in that way. Then there will be no revolution. Mass of people, if they are satisfied, they will not revolt. But they do not know the process. The "Demoncracy," the common man is allowed to vote. He has no knowledge, and he's voting. This is most condemned process. Camara-bhangi, a sweeper, he is voted to become Minister of Defense. His business is to cleanse the street, and now he's voted to become, because he has got number of votes. So many bhangis, they vote, "Yes, he is our leader. He should be Defense Minister." You have to do that. This is democracy. His business is to sweep, and he's voted a defense minister. Hari-śauri: But in, say in America, they argue that everybody's educated now. In America . . . Prabhupāda: What educated? Educated means hippies. That's all. This is their education. They do not know what is meant by education. Education . . . University student was informed that "Next birth you may become a dog," so he said, "What is the wrong there?" This is education. Is that education, that he agrees to become a dog very happily? There is no education. Simply waste of time. Satsvarūpa: But at least their young, there is extreme exploitation by a king or dictator, it can't be changed. But the people . . . Prabhupāda: There cannot be exploitation if things are made in order. Just like kṣatriya should be trained up as kṣatriya. Then he is king. Not that a bhangi by vote becomes a king. This is education. śauryaṁ tejo dhṛtir dākṣyaṁ yuddhe cāpy apalāyanam dānam īśvara-bhāvaś ca kṣātraṁ karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.43) He must be very powerful, very strong, strongly built. You have seen the picture, Rāmacandra? Sturdy body. You see. Lakṣmaṇa. Because kṣatriya. They should be trained up as kṣatriya. Hari-śauri: But what is the. Prabhupāda: Therefore the varṇāśrama college is required to train people who is able to become a brahmin who is able to become a kṣatriya, who is able to become . . . in this way division must be. And according to the quality and work there must be division for cooperation. There is a big scheme. They have lost. They do not know. All bhangis, camara, śūdras, they are simply given vote. That's all. Where is the training? Hari-śauri: But what is the use of having big strong body if now they're using airplanes and tanks and guns? Prabhupāda: That is your useless waste of time. Why? Therefore the war does not stop, unnecessary war. And such a big war, Kurukṣetra, in eighteen days it is finished. This is . . . and this is going on, continually war, strain, politics, diplomacy, lecture, parliament. There is no finishing of war. There is no finishing. It will go on. Just like same example: if you keep the dogs as dogs, they'll going on barking. It will never finish. So this is the civilization of dog work. It is not human civilization. Therefore it is going on. War is not stopped. Where is stop? War is stopped? No. Going on. And it will go on, because they are dogs. You cannot stop their barking. There are so many things. If we follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gītā, then whole world will be . . . this is a fact. Now, how to implement it, that is another thing. But it is a fact. Hari-śauri: Yes because even the yavanas and mlecchas were following the kṣatriya system in Kṛṣṇa's time. Just like Jarāsandha was, he had all the chivalrous respect of a kṣatriya, even though he was a demon. But nowadays everybody's . . . no one is . . . Prabhupāda: Everybody's śūdra. Nobody's brāhmaṇa, nobody's . . . Hari-śauri: No. Prabhupāda: Śudra is to be controlled, that never given freedom. Just like America, the blacks are claimed they are under control and since you have given them equal rights, their disturbed, most disturbed. Always creating a . . . (indistinct) . . . and then drunkard, what freedom they have got? They have got equal rights . . . (indistinct) . . . but give them sufficient food, sufficient clothes, not more than that, then they will be controlled. (break) Hari-śauri: If that's done, then how will those who have some potential to be educated, how will we recognize them? Prabhupāda: Either educate them or control them. Give them facility of education. But there is no education at all. Even for the whites there is no education. So we are stressing on the point of education. You educate certain section as brāhmaṇa, certain section as kṣatriya, certain section as vaiśya. In that education we don't discriminate because he's coming of a śūdra family. Take education; be qualified. Then you talk. Not by votes. Satsvarūpa: Lord Caitanya, when Rāmānanda Rāya brought this up, He said it was not possible in this age to introduce this. Prabhupāda: Yes. Not . . . he did not say possible. Ihā bāhya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu was interested only on the spiritual platform. He had no idea of material side. He rejected material side. Satsvarūpa: But don't we do that also? Prabhupāda: No. Our position is different. We are trying to implement Kṛṣṇa consciousness in everything. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu personally took sannyāsa. He rejected completely material. Niṣkiñcana. But we are not going to be niṣkiñcana. We are trying to cement the troubled position of the . . . that is also in the prescription of Bhagavad-gītā. We are not rejecting the whole society. Caitanya Mahāprabhu rejected everything, ihā bāhya. Rejected meaning, "I do not take much interest in this." Bāhya. "It is external." He was simply interested in the internal, the spiritual. But our duty is that we shall arrange the external affairs all so nicely that one day they will come to the spiritual platform very easily, paving the way. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu, personality like that, they have nothing to do with this material world. But we are preaching. We are preaching. Therefore we must pave the situation in such a way that gradually they will be promoted to the spiritual plane, which is not required. Satsvarūpa: Varṇāśrama is not required. Prabhupāda: Not required. Caitanya Mahāprabhu denied, "I am not brahmin I am not kṣatriya, I am not this, I am not this." He rejected. But in the Bhagavad-gītā, the cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭam (BG 4.13). So we are Kṛṣṇa . . . preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It must be done. Hari-śauri: But in Caitanya Mahāprabhu's practical preaching He only induced them to chant. Prabhupāda: That is not possible for ordinary man. Hari-śauri: What, to simply induce people to chant? Prabhupāda: Hmm? Hari-śauri: He only introduced just the chanting. Prabhupāda: But who will chant? Who'll chant? Satsvarūpa: But if they won't chant, then neither will they train up in the varṇāśrama. That's the easiest. Prabhupāda: The chanting will be there, but you cannot expect that people will chant like Caitanya Mahāprabhu. They cannot even chant sixteen rounds-(chuckles) these rascals, they are going to be Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Satsvarūpa: No. But if they at least will chant and take some prasāda . . . Prabhupāda: Chanting will go on. That is not stopped. But at the same time the varṇāśrama-dharma must be established to make the way easy. Hari-śauri: Well, at least my own understanding was that the chanting was introduced in the age of Kali because varṇāśrama is not possible. Prabhupāda: Because it will, it will cleanse the mind. Chanting will not stop. Hari-śauri: So, so therefore the chanting was introduced and to replace all of the systems of varṇāśrama and like that. Prabhupāda: Yes, it can replace, but who is going to replace it? The . . . people are not so advanced. If you imitate Haridāsa Ṭhākura to chant, it is not possible. Satsvarūpa: We tell them, "Go on with your job, but chant also." Prabhupāda: Yes. Thākaha āpanāra kāje, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. Āpanāra kāja ki. Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommended, sthāne sthitaḥ (SB 10.14.3). And if they do not remain in the sthāna, then the sahajiyā's chanting will come. Just like the sahajiyās also have got the beads and . . . but they have got three dozen women. This kind of chanting will go on. Just like our . . . (indistinct) . . . he was not fit for sannyāsa, but he was given sannyāsa. And five women he was attached, and he disclosed. Therefore varṇāśrama-dharma is required. Simply show-bottle will not do. So the varṇāśrama-dharma should be introduced all over the world, and . . ."

A proper community farm project requires millions of dollars in investment. As much as I would love the ideal of these farms, I simply don't know were the money will come from. Haribol, hopefully you will recover soon.
A small Iskcon temple costs Rs 50 Crores. It's maintainance, huge monthly electricity bills etc cost a Crore each year. Just investment, no returns. BUT You could establish at least 10 small farm communities in that budget. And everything will keep giving returns: from cows to farm produce. Give you self sufficiency. Dont have to beg donors to give money.
Hare Krishna Maharaj Ji, AGTSP, PAMHO, I'm not sure where to start about the farm and the community and the cow protection. So if you can guide me in this. This is UA-cam comment so not writing much. Ys Amit

Yes Maharaj Urgent need is Farm Community Like If we have Temple means kings palace then there should be a village of that king where whole people will do farming for the Real King Krishna
Hari Bol! Prabhu the very same thing which you spoke is being practised in many places across India and Internationally - by ISKCON and by some Devotees who are doing it independent of ISKCON but most importantly strictly adhering to Srila Prabhupad's Teachings / Instructions. Ideally it would be more effective if advisors would visit such places and narrate their experience first hand which would help his followers and others watching his videos know such places exist and after seeing and hearing about it they may even be interested to move in and thereby help themselves and the farms they are moving into. My personal opinion is obviously its known 'more has to be done' instead of talking about that if one spoke from where it already exists people will know who they can go to if they need help to set up / plan etc and what are the short comings (if any). One should police the police ONLY IF something is amiss - if its only to advice them to do more then no better way than to do it ourself. This is not to criticise but rather to try and create awareness of how our thoughts / words / actions - intentions should be because in this day and age it looks as if everyone is just looking for eye balls - Universe has a way to give that if thats what is necessary until such time everyone should focus on The Absolute Truth - for all that matters is THAT and NOTHING ELSE.

That knowledge can be achieved-bhaktyā, by this kṛṣṇa-yoga. Otherwise,
manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu
kaścid yatati siddhaye
yatatām api siddhānāṁ

There are so many human beings all over the world, Mostly, they're like animals-without culture. Because, according to our Vedic culture, unless one takes to the institution of varṇa and āśrama, he's not a human being. He's not accepted. So therefore Kṛṣṇa says manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu.

So out of many millions of persons engaged in ritualistic ceremony, one becomes advanced in knowledge. They are called jñānīs, or speculative philosophers. Not karmīs, but jñānīs. So out of many millions of such jñānīs, one becomes mukta, liberated. Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati (BG 18.54). This is liberated stage. One who is Brahman realized soul, he has nothing to lament or nothing to hanker. Because in the karmī stage we have got two diseases: hankering and lamenting. Whatever you have got, if it is lost, then I lament. "Oh, I got this and that and it is now lost." And whatever we do not possess, we hanker after. So for possessing, we hanker, we work so hard. And when it is lost, we again lament and cry. This is karmī stage. So brahma-bhūtaḥ stage... Jñāna stage means he has no more lamenting or hankering. Prasannātmā. "Oh, I am, ahaṁ brahmāsmi. What I have got to do with this body? My business is to cultivate transcendental knowledge, brahma-jñāna." So in that stage, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu (BG 18.54). That is the test. He has no lamenting. He has no hankering. And he's equal to everyone. Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ.
vidyā-vinaya-sampanne
brāhmaṇe gavi hastini
śuni caiva śva-pāke ca
paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ
(BG 5.18)
He has no distinction. So in this way, when one is situated, then mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām (BG 18.54), then he comes to the devotional platform. And when he comes to the devotional platform, bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ (BG 18.55), then he's able."
Thank you for your excellent speculation.

Awesome message! Krishna consciousness movement needs and must develop the Second part.... farm development. Have you all asked; Are the devotee communities ready for this EXODUS that will surely take place... water, food, shelter, sanitary facilites and supplies ? Wake up Prabhus! Srila Prabhupada is the ultimate whistle blower on modern civilization.
Krishna bless you❤ 🙏🙏🙏.
1 tomato seed produces 1 tomato plant which produces say 50 tomatoes. Within each tomato are 10 seeds .That means within the life cycle of a tomato plant growing you now have potentially 500 new tomato plants , each with 50 tomatoes with 10 seeds in each that now means you now have 250 000 seeds ! That’s how easy farming /growing is . You just have to get organised and start living more in sync with the seasons and don’t forget processing and storage !
Dandavat pranam maharaj 🙏 sincere prayers for your quick recovery. I totally agree with it maharaj because that would be a great thing to create varnasrama culture, nowadays every youth is working hard without any destiny even I am working hard to get a piece of bread and stable KC. Good inspiration my idea also was to create firm culture. You gave me a push to my idea maharaj. Thank you so much for your inspiration.

Hare Krsna ...I never fully understood Krsna consciouseness untill I was in India recently staying at an Ashram where my friend grows rice n wheat on rotation...(also fruit trees...dahls)and depends on cows...I think I had to see it for myself and experience it...most importantly I now understand how we eat food to fill the belly...not to go out to some restaurant and enjoy...because every grain of rice is important when you sit and pick rocks out of a talee for a couple of hours a day...or wheat and put it in the "chucki" for grinding....just subji roti dahl chowal...bas🐂
Thank you, very nice comment. Can I also visit that place? Where is that?
Yes swamiji , your aspect of farms forming is very reasonable !!
Srila Prabhupada ki jay 🙏🙏
The concept of farms is very similar to the permaculture-homesteads of Ringing Cedars, a neo-vedic movement from Russia. I guess ruralism is an important part of vedic lifestyle in general.
Thanks for your message. I am not khrisna member but a friend of your movement and I believe that is a must to eat healthy and be vegetarian. Your movement have today a huge oportunity to save lives. Thanks

Thank you Maharaja, your words are very much inspirational. Till 1989 Hungary was basically the food supplies to all the eastern european communist bloc countries, and just as you said there was so much abundance. We did not have communism as rough as other nations, simply due our agriculture. Of course Srila Prabhupada and yourself odesnt need material references backing up what you say, but I thought it would be nice to cite this example! Ys, Gaura-Narayana dasa
Krishna devotees may not need material references, but an outsider, like me, appreciates them.
My suggestion is to ISKCON leadership to bring back Varnaasharma, please concentrate on farmer community specially those who are in villages in entire word and make them devotee. They have necessary character, experience, resources and skill to perform this task. By making them devotee they will make us self sufficient also provide necessary to support to reach out to these community. it will be very difficult for devotee from city to take this task on their own they lack above foundation. that why Iskcon has very difficult time to start and flourish farm community. Same way we can concentrate in city to reclaim other Varna.
Here is few suggestions devotees and leader who are in the cities should form/organize volunteer groups that includes such as Padayatra (preaching, chanting singing and festivals) ; other medical cor who goes to villages and provide health care services. other food distribution group who provides needy life sustaining support. it should be compulsory to every devotee to give time money and labor. We have to keep our character like Vaishnava purity, integrity and Shadhana. Keep personal ego and politics away, work together and follow basic Prabhupada instruction no new experiments. i believe by following above steps we will be able bring back all other Varna. They all exist every where in all community world wide. Hare Krishna. All glory to Srila Prabhupda
Please take care 🤗
Farm communities are the need of the hour. Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna . AGTSP. Dear Bhakti Vikasa Swami , hope you get better soon.
Śrila Prabhupada: "...So the Varṇāśrama-dharma should be introduced all over the world, and..."
(from "A Room Conversation in Mayapur, February 14, 1977"):
"Prabhupāda: Revolution means they are dissatisfied.
Satsvarūpa: French Revolution, Russian Revolution.
Prabhupāda: These things were not going nicely. Therefore gradually it broke. But if things are going nicely, people will be happy. They will not revolt. You have to keep the citizens satisfied in all respects. You must know the necessity how people are satisfied. You have to arrange the government in that way. Then there will be no revolution. Mass of people, if they are satisfied, they will not revolt. But they do not know the process. The "Demoncracy," the common man is allowed to vote. He has no knowledge, and he's voting. This is most condemned process. Camara-bhangi, a sweeper, he is voted to become Minister of Defense. His business is to cleanse the street, and now he's voted to become, because he has got number of votes. So many bhangis, they vote, "Yes, he is our leader. He should be Defense Minister." You have to do that. This is democracy. His business is to sweep, and he's voted a defense minister.
Hari-śauri: But in, say in America, they argue that everybody's educated now. In America . . .
Prabhupāda: What educated? Educated means hippies. That's all. This is their education. They do not know what is meant by education. Education . . . University student was informed that "Next birth you may become a dog," so he said, "What is the wrong there?" This is education. Is that education, that he agrees to become a dog very happily? There is no education. Simply waste of time.
Satsvarūpa: But at least their young, there is extreme exploitation by a king or dictator, it can't be changed. But the people . . .
Prabhupāda: There cannot be exploitation if things are made in order. Just like kṣatriya should be trained up as kṣatriya. Then he is king. Not that a bhangi by vote becomes a king. This is education.
śauryaṁ tejo dhṛtir dākṣyaṁ
yuddhe cāpy apalāyanam
dānam īśvara-bhāvaś ca
kṣātraṁ karma svabhāva-jam
(BG 18.43)
He must be very powerful, very strong, strongly built. You have seen the picture, Rāmacandra? Sturdy body. You see. Lakṣmaṇa. Because kṣatriya. They should be trained up as kṣatriya.
Hari-śauri: But what is the.
Prabhupāda: Therefore the varṇāśrama college is required to train people who is able to become a brahmin who is able to become a kṣatriya, who is able to become . . . in this way division must be. And according to the quality and work there must be division for cooperation. There is a big scheme. They have lost. They do not know. All bhangis, camara, śūdras, they are simply given vote. That's all. Where is the training?
Hari-śauri: But what is the use of having big strong body if now they're using airplanes and tanks and guns?
Prabhupāda: That is your useless waste of time. Why? Therefore the war does not stop, unnecessary war. And such a big war, Kurukṣetra, in eighteen days it is finished. This is . . . and this is going on, continually war, strain, politics, diplomacy, lecture, parliament. There is no finishing of war. There is no finishing. It will go on. Just like same example: if you keep the dogs as dogs, they'll going on barking. It will never finish. So this is the civilization of dog work. It is not human civilization. Therefore it is going on. War is not stopped. Where is stop? War is stopped? No. Going on. And it will go on, because they are dogs. You cannot stop their barking. There are so many things. If we follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gītā, then whole world will be . . . this is a fact. Now, how to implement it, that is another thing. But it is a fact.
Hari-śauri: Yes because even the yavanas and mlecchas were following the kṣatriya system in Kṛṣṇa's time. Just like Jarāsandha was, he had all the chivalrous respect of a kṣatriya, even though he was a demon. But nowadays everybody's . . . no one is . . .
Prabhupāda: Everybody's śūdra. Nobody's brāhmaṇa, nobody's . . .
Hari-śauri: No.
Prabhupāda: Śudra is to be controlled, that never given freedom. Just like America, the blacks are claimed they are under control and since you have given them equal rights, their disturbed, most disturbed. Always creating a . . . (indistinct) . . . and then drunkard, what freedom they have got? They have got equal rights . . . (indistinct) . . . but give them sufficient food, sufficient clothes, not more than that, then they will be controlled.
(break)
Hari-śauri: If that's done, then how will those who have some potential to be educated, how will we recognize them?
Prabhupāda: Either educate them or control them. Give them facility of education. But there is no education at all. Even for the whites there is no education. So we are stressing on the point of education. You educate certain section as brāhmaṇa, certain section as kṣatriya, certain section as vaiśya. In that education we don't discriminate because he's coming of a śūdra family. Take education; be qualified. Then you talk. Not by votes.
Satsvarūpa: Lord Caitanya, when Rāmānanda Rāya brought this up, He said it was not possible in this age to introduce this.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Not . . . he did not say possible. Ihā bāhya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu was interested only on the spiritual platform. He had no idea of material side. He rejected material side.
Satsvarūpa: But don't we do that also?
Prabhupāda: No. Our position is different. We are trying to implement Kṛṣṇa consciousness in everything. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu personally took sannyāsa. He rejected completely material. Niṣkiñcana. But we are not going to be niṣkiñcana. We are trying to cement the troubled position of the . . . that is also in the prescription of Bhagavad-gītā. We are not rejecting the whole society. Caitanya Mahāprabhu rejected everything, ihā bāhya. Rejected meaning, "I do not take much interest in this." Bāhya. "It is external." He was simply interested in the internal, the spiritual. But our duty is that we shall arrange the external affairs all so nicely that one day they will come to the spiritual platform very easily, paving the way. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu, personality like that, they have nothing to do with this material world. But we are preaching. We are preaching. Therefore we must pave the situation in such a way that gradually they will be promoted to the spiritual plane, which is not required.
Satsvarūpa: Varṇāśrama is not required.
Prabhupāda: Not required. Caitanya Mahāprabhu denied, "I am not brahmin I am not kṣatriya, I am not this, I am not this." He rejected. But in the Bhagavad-gītā, the cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭam (BG 4.13). So we are Kṛṣṇa . . . preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It must be done.
Hari-śauri: But in Caitanya Mahāprabhu's practical preaching He only induced them to chant.
Prabhupāda: That is not possible for ordinary man.
Hari-śauri: What, to simply induce people to chant?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Hari-śauri: He only introduced just the chanting.
Prabhupāda: But who will chant? Who'll chant?
Satsvarūpa: But if they won't chant, then neither will they train up in the varṇāśrama. That's the easiest.
Prabhupāda: The chanting will be there, but you cannot expect that people will chant like Caitanya Mahāprabhu. They cannot even chant sixteen rounds-(chuckles) these rascals, they are going to be Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Satsvarūpa: No. But if they at least will chant and take some prasāda . . .
Prabhupāda: Chanting will go on. That is not stopped. But at the same time the varṇāśrama-dharma must be established to make the way easy.
Hari-śauri: Well, at least my own understanding was that the chanting was introduced in the age of Kali because varṇāśrama is not possible.
Prabhupāda: Because it will, it will cleanse the mind. Chanting will not stop.
Hari-śauri: So, so therefore the chanting was introduced and to replace all of the systems of varṇāśrama and like that.
Prabhupāda: Yes, it can replace, but who is going to replace it? The . . . people are not so advanced. If you imitate Haridāsa Ṭhākura to chant, it is not possible.
Satsvarūpa: We tell them, "Go on with your job, but chant also."
Prabhupāda: Yes. Thākaha āpanāra kāje, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. Āpanāra kāja ki. Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommended, sthāne sthitaḥ (SB 10.14.3). And if they do not remain in the sthāna, then the sahajiyā's chanting will come. Just like the sahajiyās also have got the beads and . . . but they have got three dozen women. This kind of chanting will go on. Just like our . . . (indistinct) . . . he was not fit for sannyāsa, but he was given sannyāsa. And five women he was attached, and he disclosed. Therefore varṇāśrama-dharma is required. Simply show-bottle will not do. So the varṇāśrama-dharma should be introduced all over the world, and . . ."

A proper community farm project requires millions of dollars in investment. As much as I would love the ideal of these farms, I simply don't know were the money will come from.
Haribol, hopefully you will recover soon.
A small Iskcon temple costs Rs 50 Crores. It's maintainance, huge monthly electricity bills etc cost a Crore each year. Just investment, no returns. BUT You could establish at least 10 small farm communities in that budget. And everything will keep giving returns: from cows to farm produce. Give you self sufficiency. Dont have to beg donors to give money.

Hari Bol!
Prabhu the very same thing which you spoke is being practised in many places across India and Internationally - by ISKCON and by some Devotees who are doing it independent of ISKCON but most importantly strictly adhering to Srila Prabhupad's Teachings / Instructions.
Ideally it would be more effective if advisors would visit such places and narrate their experience first hand which would help his followers and others watching his videos know such places exist and after seeing and hearing about it they may even be interested to move in and thereby help themselves and the farms they are moving into.
My personal opinion is obviously its known 'more has to be done' instead of talking about that if one spoke from where it already exists people will know who they can go to if they need help to set up / plan etc and what are the short comings (if any).
One should police the police ONLY IF something is amiss - if its only to advice them to do more then no better way than to do it ourself.
This is not to criticise but rather to try and create awareness of how our thoughts / words / actions - intentions should be because in this day and age it looks as if everyone is just looking for eye balls - Universe has a way to give that if thats what is necessary until such time everyone should focus on The Absolute Truth - for all that matters is THAT and NOTHING ELSE.
