Brahmacarya means celibacy, not to use the semina unnecessarily, discharge. That is called brahmacarya. Therefore the students are advised, or they are trained up. The students are sent to gurukula to be trained up as brahmacārī. Just like we have opened our gurukula āśrama in Dallas. We are teaching from the very beginning of life small children how to become brahmacārī. That is required. Recently we have received their picture, how nicely they're looking, the children. Children, they're innocent. If you want to kill, you can kill; if you want to train him just like a perfect man, you can train him.

It is the duty of the father, it is the duty of the mother, it is the duty of the government, the state, to raise the children very nicely. Now how horrible civilization it is that instead of raising them to perfect their human life they are being killed in the womb. Oh, how much horrible civilization this is, just imagine. It is simply horrible to think that the duty of the parents is to raise the child to the highest perfection of life; instead of doing that they are being killed in the womb of the mother. This is the situation. This should be stopped.

If you actually want happiness, these things should be stopped, and tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śamena damena ca ([[Vanisource:SB 6.1.13-14|SB 6.1.13]]). Tyāgena. Tyāgena, means to give in charity, tyāga. So people should spend sufficiently for propagating this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is tyāga. Because everything requires money. Just like our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we have got 102 branches, and we have to spend money. We spend money, not . . . we are spending at the present moment, monthly, seventy thousand dollars. Seventy thousand dollars. In Indian calculation, it is seven lakhs of rupees. So everything required. We have to maintain establishment, we have to feed them, we have to educate them, we have to dress them.
