INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN
Everything and everyone comes from God and belongs to Him. We are all different sons of God in different dresses. We have the right to enjoy the property of our father, God, without infringing upon others' rights. Just like in families, we live with so many brothers. So whatever our father or mother gives us to eat we take. We do not encroach upon our brothers plates. That is not a civilized family. If we become God conscious, then the whole problems of the world - sociology, religion, economic development, politics everything will be solved.

vanipedia.org 		Whether one is Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish or whatever, everyone has some religious institution. Real religion, however, means becoming God conscious. It is particularly mentioned herein that birth is successful if an interest in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is taken. Activity is successful if it results in serving the Lord. Philosophical speculation or mental speculation is successful when engaged in understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The senses are worth possessing when engaged in the service of the Lord. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.31.9)



vanipedia.org 		The expert leaders of a godless human civilization cannot bring about a fruitful result in all their different attempts at educational advancement or economic development unless they are God conscious. And to become God conscious one has to hear about the all-auspicious Lord, as He is described in literature like the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.4.17)



vanipedia.org 		This is actual human civilization. People must be trained according to the different varṇāśrama occupational duties. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (4.13), cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ: the four varṇas must be established according to varying qualities and work. The first principle for good government is that it must institute this varṇāśrama system. The purpose of varṇāśrama is to enable people to become God conscious. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 9.10.50 )



vanipedia.org 		The special feature of a birth in India is that a person born in India becomes automatically God conscious. In every part of India, and especially in the holy places of pilgrimage, even an ordinary uneducated man is inclined toward Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and as soon as he sees a Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he offers obeisances. (Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā 4.98)
