If Krishna Says All Right… Lecture by Srila Prabhupada

Iskcon Bangalore Group | 27.12.2011 — Lecture by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.13 delivered in Vrindavana on October 24, 1972

Atah pumbhir-dvija-srestha varnasrama-vibhagasah. Varna and asrama. This varnasrama is very important thing in the human society. Unless one accepts these principles of varna and asrama, they’re animal society. That is not human society. Four varnas — the brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, and sudra, four divisions of the society; and asrama, spiritual order — brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, and sannyasa. This is Vedic culture, varna and asrama. That is accepted as human society.
