True civilization trains the soul to rise early, worship the Lord, and return to God—not remain as animals eating, sleeping, and mating.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] [chants verse; devotees respond] Also there is reading samāhitaḥ.
Japan brahma samāhitaḥ or japan brahma sanātanam? [continues leading chanting of verse, using sanātanam] [break] sāyaṁ prātar upāsīta gurv-agny-arka-surottamān ubhe sandhye ca yata-vāg japan brahma samāhitaḥ [SB 7.12.2] [02:02] Translation: "At both the junction of day and night, namely early in the morning and in the evening, one should be fully absorbed in the thought of the spiritual master, fire, the sun-god and Lord Viṣṇu, and by chanting the Gāyatrī mantra one should worship them." Prabhupāda: sāyaṁ prātar upāsīta gurv-agny-arka-surottamān ubhe sandhye ca yata-vāg japan brahma samāhitaḥ [SB 7.12.2] Samāhitaḥ word is better, or the appropriate. Sanātana is also appropriate, but it is better word, samāhitaḥ. So the first training, how to create a brahmacārī.
This is human civilization. Unless one comes to the platform of varṇāśrama-dharma... This Hindu dharma, this is not the proper word. Hindu, this word, is not found in the Vedic literature.
It is a foreign word, from Sindu to Hindu. It is the word given by the Muslims. The other side of the Sindu, the Muslim countries begin. So the Muslim used to call this part, the other side of the river Sindu, "Hindu." So our real, this Bhārata-varṣa, real dharma, is varṇāśrama-dharma.
Here it is not said, "Hindu dharma." Brahmacārī. Four āśramas—brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha and sannyāsa. So the beginning of life is brahmacārī, how to remain a celibate. It is very scientific. People have neglected this culture, and they are suffering.
It is so essen... Because they do not know what is the aim of life, so in the Bhagavad-gītā all these people have been described as mūḍha, rascals. They do not know what is the aim of life. na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇuṁ durāśayā ye bahir-artha-māninaḥ andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānās te 'pīśa-tantryām uru-dāmni baddhāḥ [SB 7.5.31] These people, especially modernized people, according to śāstra and scientifically... It is not the śāstra accuses mūḍha.
Kṛṣṇa says. It is not that Kṛṣṇa is angry upon anyone. Actually, one who does not know the aim of life, he is mūḍha, rascal, that's all. He does not know.
