PRABHUPADA FARM HAWAII - GOLOKA COW SANCTUARY: The Prabhupada Sankirtan Society is now in Hawaii.
Varnāśrama in action - in the original Vedic tradition.
“The social institution known as varṇāśrama-dharma - the institution dividing society into four divisions or castes - is not meant to divide human society according to birth. Such divisions are in terms of educational qualifications. They are to keep the society in a state of peace and prosperity. The qualities mentioned herein are explained as transcendental qualities meant for making a person progress in spiritual understanding so he can get liberated from the material world.”
- Bhagavad-gita As It Is - Macmillan 1972 Edition : Bg 16: The Divine and Demoniac Natures : Bg 16.1, Bg 16.2, Bg 16.3, Bg 16.1-3 : PURPORT - [Bold/italic emphasis added.]

The Srila Prabhupada edition of Bhagavad gita As It Is praised by scholars, philosophers, religionists, and scientists:
“The Gita can be seen as the main literary support for the great religious civilization of India, the oldest surviving culture in the world. The present translation and commentary is another manifestation of the permanent living importance of the Gita.” — Thomas Merton, Theologian

The Whole Earth Bowed Down To You Srila Prabhupada
680325rc.sf Conversations
Prabhupada: (Laughs) Yes. Your materialistic life is full of anxiety.
That is the main symptom of materialistic life. We are always anxious,
everyone. President Johnson, he's anxious, "Oh, my presidency is going
on. Now I shall no longer be president." He's thinking, very much
anxious. And, similarly, you are also thinking, another man is also
thinking. Everyone is anxious. Nobody is free from anxiety. And when
you go to Krsnaloka or any Vaikuntha planet, the first thing is that
you have no anxiety. That is spiritual life. Always joyful. (Baby
cooing). No anxiety. Because she knows, "My mother is there. She will
protect me from everything." So no anxiety means when you know that
"Krsna will protect me," you have no anxiety. To become in the family
of Krsna. We are already in the family of Krsna, but in a different
way. Just like if one is in the prisonhouse, he is in the government's
protection, but in a different way.
Yamuna: Swamiji, Janaki-devi wrote me this very nice letter where she
had a dream that there was a gigantic platform above the surface of
the earth, and all of our devotees, our Godbrothers and sisters and
you, were assembled on this gigantic platform for sankirtana. And we
had such a thunderous joy, magnificent kirtana, that the whole
earth... When you said, "Jaya om param paramahamsa," the whole earth
bowed down to you like this. And we were all crying, so happy. And you
said, "Now my Guru Maharaja is satisfied." That was her dream.
Prabhupada: Thank you very much. Yes. Thank you for your dreaming like
that. It is very pleasing to me. Yes, I want to see like that. (Break)
