And what is that dharma? That I have several times explained. According to Prahlāda Mahārāja, dharmān bhāgavatān. Dharma means God consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is dharma. That is religion. Dharmān bhāgavatān. So from the very beginning, in school, in primary schools, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness should be taught. That is real civilization. Unfortunately, there is no such arrangement. So you go to the authorities and the so-called authorities, rascals. Inform them that &amp;quot;Take this education. Introduce in the schools, colleges. Then there will be peace and prosperity. Otherwise there will be hippies. That&amp;#039;s all. You may have very big, big universities, educational system, but the production will be hopeless, confused hippies. That&amp;#039;s all.&amp;quot; From the very beginning, the whole system should be changed, rascal civilization. Religion first. First religion, then pious activities. &amp;quot;I belong to this religion,&amp;quot; but what is your activities? &amp;quot;Now, I&amp;#039;m debauch number one.&amp;quot; You see? And the other day the boy was asking religion, blasphemy, but from his appearance it looked like he&amp;#039;s debauch number one. You see? So they fight simply on false prestige of so-called religion. Religion means pious life. That is religion. No meat-eating, no illicit sex, no gambling, no intoxication—that is religion, religious life, pious life.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;The analysis you have given in the section &amp;quot;What is the Bhaktivedanta Institute&amp;quot;, regarding the scientists, technologists, and other so-called authorities is most accurate.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

But you say that there is a chance that none of our farms will be suitable. Why not? Anyway, you will be discussing it at Mayapur at which time you should fix-up everything definitely.&lt;br /&gt;
I have read the aims and objects of the Institute and it is done very nicely. I am satisfied that you are properly understanding the philosophy. The analysis you have given in the section &amp;quot;What is the Bhaktivedanta Institute&amp;quot;, regarding the scientists, technologists, and other so-called authorities is most accurate. According to Bhagavatam, they are all asses and cows, sa eva gokhara.&lt;br /&gt;
I have also suggested for the GBC&amp;#039;s consideration, that we introduce a system of examinations for the devotees to take. Sometimes there is criticism that our men are not sufficiently learned, especially the brahmanas. Of course second initiation does not depend upon passing an examination. How one has moulded his life—chanting, attending arati, etc., these are essential. Still, brahmana means pandita. Therefore I am suggesting examinations. Bhakti-sastri—(for all brahmanas) based on Bhagavad-gita, Sri Isopanisad, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction, and all the small paper backs. Bhakti-vaibhava—the above plus first six cantos of S.B. Bhaktivedanta—the above plus cantos 7-12 S.B. Bhakti-sarvabhauma—the above plus Caitanya-caritamrta.&lt;br /&gt;
These titles can correspond to entrance, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. So just consider how to organize this Institute. At Mayapur we shall finalize everything.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
