“Prabhupāda: One has to follow the rules and regulations of a particular status of life in order to purify his existence.“
“Prabhupāda: So where is that institution to train people to acquire these transcendental qualities? There is no such institution. We are attempting to qualify the man in transcendental qualities.

Implementing of original varnasrama dharma principles in ordinary lives of each and everyone will save ISKCON as Society.
When men will become strict brahmacaries OR responsible grihasthas, when women will become chaste wives and loving Mothers, when kids will be wanted – then vaisnavism as family tradition will prospere and taking care of land, go-seva, kshatriyas as a sanity keepers and Brahmanas as a knowledge spreaders will be possible, and society will prosper.
Apasampradayic free mixing, artificial equalities and modern day sociopolitical correctness in the name of Bhakti are spiritually impotent and socially suecidal – there is absolutely no future, until devotees will not accept simple truths of each and everyone’s prescribed varna, asrama and stri dharma, and will not start to implement it – step by step, with care and love.
Purity is the essence.
