Srila Prabhupada explained at a college lecture in Calcutta, January 29, 1973 that in previous times the Brahmanas used to advise the kings and leaders:

“The brāhmanas did not take part in politics, but they gave advice, instruction to the kings, rājarṣi. Imaṁ rājarṣayoḥ viduḥ. The rājarṣi used to understand what is the values of life under the instruction of brāhmanas, and they execute the order of the brāhmanas. The people were happy. And because at the present moment such system is lost, people are confused and they are in frustration. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is all-embracing. It can solve all the problems of the world—political, social, economical, religious, everything. It is all-embracing.”

Members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Smithton, PA recently visited New Vrindaban Community. A great group of folks. Rich Ermlick (center in white shirt), a workshop leader and the main speaker at the UU, said this about the tour: “Thank you, again, for all your time, wisdom, and beautiful storytelling. You are a treasure, my friend.” —- Those who are interested, can contact me to schedule a tour. I am a longtime resident and offer in-depth guided tours to pilgrims to New Vrindaban, as well as college, church, etc, groups.
