British government was creating faction between the caste, low caste. So Gandhi thought that, "I shall make these bhaṅgīs and camars as harijana, as great devotees." But simply by rubber-stamping, how one can become devotee? That is not possible. Without going the pāñcarātrikī-vidhī, they remain the same unclean drunkard and the all nonsense habits. And simply by rubber-stamping, harijana? No. Here, what we are doing, it is not rubber-stamp. It is actually training according to the pāñcarātrikī-vidhī. We are training all boys to become Brahmin: to refrain from four kinds of sinful activities, to take bath, to take this, take that. And above all, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Here, what we are doing, it is not rubber-stamp. It is actually training according to the pāñcarātrikī-vidhī. We are training all boys to become Brahmin: to refrain from four kinds of sinful activities, to take bath, to take this, take that. And above all, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. Ceto-darpaṇa-marjanam (CC Antya 20.12, Śikṣāṣṭaka 1), cleansing of all sinful activities. So in this way harijana can be made, but not that you pick up somebody nonsense and rubber-stamp this "harijana" No. There must be process.

There is no hindrance for anyone to become harijana. Harijana means God's person or devotee. Hari means God, Kṛṣṇa, and jana means His person. Just like we have got here government servant, special, or ordinary person. So haijana means the servants of the Supreme Lord. So that is not ordinary thing. There is no harm to create harijana by regular process, but you cannot make harijana simply by stamping.
