Theme Analysis
The path of family life carries profound spiritual weight within the Vaisnava tradition, shifting the focus from individual practice to serious generational responsibility. Throughout his extensive teachings, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the ultimate purpose of having children is to save them from the cycle of birth and death. By fully dedicating themselves to raising their dependents in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, parents execute a glorious service and provide a final opportunity for elevated souls to return back to Godhead. This requires a balanced commitment to both material nourishment and the establishment of proper educational systems like the gurukula.
- The Supreme Purpose of Parenthood: The Vedic standard dictates that individuals should only accept the immense responsibility of having children if they are fully capable of delivering them from material bondage.

- Balancing Material and Spiritual Care: True parental affection means providing a luxuriant, healthy physical environment alongside rigorous spiritual training and proper financial stability.

Pages in category "Parents (Disciples of SP)"
The following 28 pages are in this category, out of 28 total.
A
- A child is a rare gift given by Krishna, but at the same time a great responsibility; every parent has the responsibility to see that his child grows up K.C.
- After the sixteenth year the parents shall treat their child as a friend, and the child is allowed to gradually develop his adult responsibility and independence
- Another important thing is our theistic school in New Vrindaban. If you can establish a nice educational center, I know many parents of your country will be glad to send their children in New Vrindaban
E
- Every parent should think like that (be preacher of Bhagavata, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and player of mrdanga and to become servant of Radharani); otherwise one should not become father and mother
- Every parent wants to see that their children are taken care of very nicely. That is the first duty. If they are not healthy then how they can prosecute their education? If they are undernourished it is not good for their future activities
I
- I am very glad to learn that Eric has learnt Krishna Consciousness better than his parents. I thank him very much. This is the example of unsophisticated mind. The child is innocent and therefore he has taken the consciousness so quickly
- I may inform you that all our children born of the Krishna conscious parents, they are welcome and I want hundreds of children like that
- I wish that the mother's who have no husband at present should not remarry, but should dedicate their time to seeing that their children are brought up very nicely in Krishna Consciousness
- If you can establish a nice educational center, I know many parents of your country will be glad to send their children in New Vrindaban. But we have to create a nice atmosphere and educational system there
- It is the duty of all parents to make every child Krishna Conscious, so that the fortunate child born of Krishna Conscious parents may not have any more to take birth in this material world
- It is the duty of the parents to see that the children are growing luxuriantly not only materially, but spiritually also. So spiritual training should be given from the very beginning
T
- That is a good proposal, that parents should not accompany their children. Actually that is the gurukula system. The children should take complete protection of the Spiritual Master
- That is real affection, to make sure my child gets back to Godhead, that is my real responsibility as a parent. And I have seen that Gurukula offers this opportunity more than any other place anywhere
- The basic idea of raising children as they are described in the Vedic literature is that from birth till the age of five years the parents may be very lenient with the child
- The best preparation for the coming of the child is just for the parents to remain perfectly Krishna Conscious, and of course, the best means for that is by chanting the holy Names and listening to Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam
- The Bhagavat also says that no one should become the parent unless he can deliver the child from the clutches of death. So it is your duty to make this baby KC so that he may not have to take birth again
- The children of our devotees may live with their parents perpetually because you are all living in the temple and already engaged in devotional service
- The parents must take responsibility for their children, otherwise they should not have children
- The parents' meeting in Detroit was very nice. It is a very good idea to organize a "Parents for Krishna" club. Try to do that
- This child who was dancing before me, he's not ordinary child. Otherwise how he could dance symmetrically? He had his practice in his previous life, and he has got the chance to get Vaisnava father and mother
- This is the duty of father and mother to enlighten children in Krishna Consciousness and thus save them from the clutches of impending death
- To be determined that the child will have his last birth into ignorance is very good. It is true that one should become a parent only if he can deliver his ward from the clutches of death
- To take care of the children, to educate them, that will depend on their parents. Now our Pradyumna was complaining that in the Gurukula, his child was not educated to count one, two, three, four. So I have told him that "You educate your child"
Y
- You as mother and father must take responsibility to deliver these nice children and that will be a very great service for Krsna
- Your child is very nice, and Krishna has given him a great opportunity to perfect himself in spiritual life because He has placed him under the care of a mother who is a sincere devotee. Try to help him grow up peacefully in Krishna Consciousness
