In Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira's time, you will find from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, you'll see that people were so happy that even there was no excessive heat or excessive cold, and nobody was anxious; everyone was free. That is the first duty of the government, to see that every citizen is happy. It's a great science, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is not that we are simply concerned with worshiping this Deity.

Now it is days of democracy; there is no trained administrators. Anyone from the third-class, fourth-class grade of society, if somehow or other he gets some vote, he comes to the power. But that should not be there. Everyone should be educated. A kṣatriya . . . formerly there was king according to Vedic idea. The kings were sufficiently educated how to administer the citizens, how to give them all comforts. Just like in Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira's time, you will find from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, you'll see that people were so happy that even there was no excessive heat or excessive cold, and nobody was anxious; everyone was free.

That is the first duty of the government, to see that every citizen is happy. It's a great science, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is not that we are simply concerned with worshiping this Deity. No. We have got volumes of book. It is . . . it is a science how to make people happy in this life as well as the next life. Not only in this life, but in the next life. Because this life is preparation for the next life. Just like childhood, boyhood, youthhood is the preparation for the next life. Why we send our children to school? Because that is preparation for the next life. Otherwise let him play all the night, all the day. Why you should be, parents, why anxious to send him to educational institution? It is preparation for the next life.
