Advaita Acarya's prayers
|
Imported quote 19603 Prabhupada: They are taking. Pancadraviḍa Maharaja is there. He is a sannyasi. That is all right. You don't change your mind. You are already trained up about Krsna consciousness, so you try to become an ideal householder in Krsna consciousness. Because we are not rejecting householders. We are accepting everyone. Grhe va thake ha gaurahga bole ḍake. Anyone, either he remains as a sannyasi in the forest or he remains a grhastha at home, if he is cultivating this Krsna consciousness and Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy, then he is all right. That is the verdict. So now you are living as a grhastha. Live as an ideal grhastha. Don't change your mind. Be fixed up. They are all grhasthas, all these Panca-tattva, you see? Advaita Prabhu was a grhastha. He did not take even sannyasa. And Caitanya Mahaprabhu also was married. Nityananda Prabhu was grhastha. They were all grhasthas, but ideal grhastha. So you become an ideal grhastha. That also wanted. Grhastha is also called asrama, grhastha-asrama. As sannyasa is called asrama, similarly grhastha is called asrama. Anywhere cultivation of Krsna consciousness is going on, that is asrama. Now it depends on my personal convenience either I remain as grhastha or I be a sannyasi. But when you have accepted the grhastha life, so that's all right. Remain at least for fifty years. Then you can give up when your children are grown up. You just give them education, settle them, then you can leave home. That is grhastha-asrama.
