This is the time to do welfare activities for the whole world. They are merged into confusion, everywhere. You know that in the Western countries, the hippie movements. What are the hippies? They're also educated, coming from very rich family also, but they do not like the ways of envelopment as their fathers and grandfathers liked. They have rejected.

So this is the golden opportunity to preach the Kṛṣṇa cult all over the world. You are lamenting because a few yards of land has been taken away from your country as Pakistan, but if you spread this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, the whole world will become Hindustan.

Our Vedic culture is divided into four varṇas: brāhmin kṣatriya vaiśya śūdra. Unfortunately, we are simply manufacturing śūdras, not brāhmins. That is the defect of modern education. Śūdra, śūdra means paricaryātmakam kāryaṁ śūdra karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.44). After education, everyone is hankering after a service. That is śūdra karma svabhāva-jam. This is not perfect education. There must be brāhmins, who are independent. Cāṇakya Paṇḍita, whose name is still, still celebrated, he was prime minister of Mahārāja Candragupta, but he was not accepting a single paisa as salary.

That was the . . . formerly, although there was monarchy, still there was a council of learned brahmins and sages. They used to advise the king. The brāhmins did not take part in politics, but they gave advice, instruction to the kings, rājarṣi. Imaṁ rājarṣayoḥ viduḥ. The rājarṣi used to understand what is the values of life under the instruction of brāhmins, and they execute the order of the brāhmins, the people are happy. And because at the present moment such system is lost, people are confused and they are in frustration.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is all-embracing. It can solve all the problems of the world—political, social, economical, religious, everything. It is all-embracing. So my request is that I am working now with my American disciples and European disciples. Why not Indians? I think in this meeting there are many young men, educated, learned scholars. Join this movement and, according to the order of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu:

bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya janma haila yāra
janma sārthaka kari' karo paropakāra
(CC Adi 9.41)

This is the time to do welfare activities for the whole world. They are merged into confusion, everywhere. You know that in the Western countries, the hippie movements. What are the hippies? They're also educated, coming from very rich family also, but they do not like the ways of envelopment as their fathers and grandfathers liked. They have rejected.

So this is the golden opportunity to preach the Kṛṣṇa cult all over the world. You are lamenting because a few yards of land has been taken away from your country as Pakistan, but if you spread this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, the whole world will become Hindustan. There is such potency, I give you my direct perception. People are hankering after it. So long I am in India, practically I am wasting my time. Outside India, this reception is taken so seriously that every part of my moment is properly utilized.

So I have come to this university with a hope that some of you become really brāhmin. The Sanskrit department is meant for brāhmin. Paṭhan pāṭhan yajana yājana dāna pratigraha. A brāhmin is called paṇḍita. Why? Because a brāhmin must be learned. brāhmin is not called a fool. So this department, Sanskrit department, is meant for the brāhmins. So I wish that some of you must join this movement, go to the foreign countries, preach this sublime cult of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma (CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126). There is great need. We have, of course, established so many temples, but still we require to establish temples, Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa temple, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's temple, in every village, every town of the world.

Now from each and every of our centers, we are sending devotees in buses. They are going interior, into the villages of Europe and America, and they are very much well received. England especially, they are going village to village. They are very much well received. This cult is so nice. Even Christian priests, they are surprised. They are surprised. One of the priest in Boston, he issued pamphlet that, "These boys, they're our boys, from Christian and Jews. Before this movement, they did not care to come to the churches even. Now they are mad after God." They are admitting.
