Srila Sripada Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja

Quote of the day…

Vrindavan Dham, India

“Entering the grihasta ashram is not just for sense enjoyment, but it is to have a son like Druva Maharaja, a son like Bhaktisiddanta Prabhupada, a son like our Prabhupada so that you can also be transferred to the kingdom of God. It is very important. You should train your children, especially if you have a son it is your duty to train your son to be a perfect brahmachari from the very childhood. Not that he should be entangled in this material world any longer. It is your duty, the parent’s duty to train the child how to be a pure devotee of Krishna right from the very childhood. Not that we have to wait until he grows up 14 years, 15 years, 20 years, 60 years, it should not be like that. It should be from the very childhood. That is the standard of our ashram system the grihasta ashram.”
